Im goin off Mr simms n Mr Mcraes current form in the transfer market, just what we needed a ball player with a brain, he is only 25 so approaching the peak of his powers, hope he is starting hooker with alker replacement 2ND row Jezza coming of the bench will give other teams lots to think about round the ruck.

I think his choice to come here shows he has ambition which is the type of player we need to sign, he could have easily stayed in oz but must have see the opportunity to play for one of the 14 biggest clubs in england with a new stadium about to begin which could send us and his career into orbit, like the rest of our current players they got in on the ground floor and should see this as an opportunity to achieve greatness.

I think rachford or m smith will kick the goals as they will be on the field most of the time imo

Could one of the moderators please close this thread down? Its far too positive to be on Scarlet Turkey!

Holds....worth.

What is he good for?

Very average player who seems to be on slide... though could be one who fits to SL and excels greatly! The likes of Luke Dorn & McGoldrick didn't come with big reps but have done really well!

Reading signing statement the massive focus on his potential goalkicking was bit odd, cos surely player first and foremost?

Smith, Smith, Ratchford & Holdsworth is a good 4 to pick from though!

That kinda talk ain't welcome round these parts

Looks like celtic got the better player from the bulldogs theyve signed matt utai a good try scoring winger. how many wingers have we got, oh 1! maybe ratchford will be playing wing again this season!!

No way. Utai's career died 2 years ago.

What I reckon we need is another prop.
Ryan Boyle is an improvement on Nash but not Stapo. The gap left by Stapo surely still needs to be filled.
They say the best halves in the world can only strut their stuff on the back of a good pack. Now, we appear to have 4 blokes that can play half back but a pack inferior to last year. What sort of momentum have these halves got to work with?
Would've preferred another Stapo than any half back. In fact, I'd have prefered to see more investment in the academy than a gamble on an out of favour import!
Right, that's my 2 penneth worth. (Just out of interest, what exactly is "2 penneth worth" anyway.)

RP "two penneth worth" was your meat ration in the war, i am lead to believe

Cheers Pev. Don't suppose you remember, I mean, heard what the air raids were like have you?
