Interesting, Blease did say last night that having Gannon and Holroyd back will be like two new signings, ad that he tried to sign Holroyd at Salford a couple of times!

He will very cheap so a silver lining for GH
That's the reality of the vast gap in wages between the NRL and SL. Just about every club is doing it. I remember people pouring scorn on Jai Field, who was in the low single figures in NRL appearances, when were chasing him a few years ago. Safe to say people were very wrong. Iapape at Leigh has never played a game in the NRL, yet he's been outstanding. I'm not saying it's the way forward for every recruit, but nowadays there has to be a balance. If you haven't already seen it, I would recommend watching the state championship GF. He looked like a good player to me. Arthur seemed very keen on him as Blease noted that he was paranoid that we hadn't been gazumped on Monday morning.

Can't really agree with this. Palasia came off the bench for Brisbane in last years Grand Final.
I was looking for Dr Evil when the Fembots appeared & smoke started coming out of their jubblies.
They tried to work their mojo on me but I countered with my mojo & we got cross-mojonation.
And I ended up here in my pants.
