Cant see why anybody would be negative about the Tansey signing.

I hope we keep Moa and Cordoba because that's a pretty old pack without much balance of youth. I also hope Burnett can force his way in so we don't have an all antipodean pack.

Oddly enough, I think Internationally we can match the Aussies with our forwards but it's our backs that are nowhere near as good. It seems our backs are going to be entirely English though. I hope Briscoe can fulfill his potential because I think we've already seen the best from the rest of our backs. Hope we do sign Turner too.

I've read his last few game reviews since he's been playing reserve grade and all I've done is relayed what the reporters have said. I hope he's good, and he's young enough to improve but I'm not deluded or foolish enough to believe he's a quality, 1st choice NRL fullback. We paid a similar fee for Matt Shultz! I am happy with his signing and think he'll do a good job for us but I like to remain objective. (Although most of you would say objectionable!)
