I hope he can recapture his form of years gone by but this is a big risk in my opinion, especially on the back of a serious knee operation.
My thoughts exactly
“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club"
Great signing imo. He has missed a few game due to injury this season, but played 28 games I think last season for the roosters, so he is hardly the injury prone has been that some would have us believe.
I suppose there is always an element of risk when signing someone that needs an opp, but the positive for us is that it is getting done this week so he has plenty of time to get ready and refreshed for next season.
I am pretty confident that he will come here and give us the aggresion and power in the forwards that we need.
Is it true that Richard Agar's favorite movie of all time is Groundhog Day or does he just generally like the same boring s**t day after day, season after season?

Realistically he's the best player we've got a chance of getting imo.
Brent Kite was never going to come atm with playing Origin and being very much in the international scene. It's very rare that a player is going to come over here from Aus to in their prime and even if he isn't at the level he used to be, he's a million times better than Kingy/Thacks.
Quality signing and a big step in the right direction for our pack.

Us real fans don't look over our shoulder at our neighbours and do whatever we can to get one over on them. We look at the bigger picture. And this is the reason why Rovers are and will forever be considered a small club. Because their fans and board would rather get one over on Hull FC above anything else.
Quite sad, really!
SPOT ON!

I have a mate in Sydney who watches the Roosters every week and a few weeks back I told him that we were linked with Kite and O'Meley. His reply was that Kite would be a class signing but he doubted that we would get him and that it would probably be O'Meley, who he said has been terrible for 2 years.
I've just spoke to him this morning and he answered the call laughing at me!
How many players at the Roosters,have played well recently??
