I also believe that Green is very much a gamble and totally unproven as an out and out 6, and having been used mainly as a utility player in oz it is debateable whether he offers any more than say Paul Cooke would have. But unfortunately Cookie wasn't as aussie else Morgan would have built his side around him.
Other teams have certainly strengthened but i think that Morgan has astutely made his acquisitions with a view to making our attack more unpredictable. This was a pretty major area of weakness for us last season so hopefully this will be rectified.
With regards Blake Green, i know that Josh Hodgson has already described him as being able to do things with a ball that he hasnt seen anybody do before. I realise this hasnt been in a game situation but it has to bode well.
As far as Cookie is concerned it was a shame the way things turned out for all parties but the "Aussie" thing doesnt hold water. Spend 5 minutes in Morgans company talking about Scott Murrell and you will soon see that he values players irrespective of their passport.
