I think it’s a decent signing don’t think he would of payed a lot for him plus he’s probably better then most the second rowers we have and he might be34 next year but just look at Mark Minichiello at hull he’s 36 and still looks strong or O’Loughlin at Wigan he’s 35 when where really struggling with recruitment this is all day a good signing

A player who has a nasty streak.Hits hard and has bit of bulk.Compared to what we have it's an upgrade.Not a sit up and take notice signing but solid enough and he and Joel in back row looks much better

Does tim not understand its all about this year,tomkins,hauraki and keinhorsts contracts would be null and void,we need some more signings this year to help keep us up.Classic work bearing in mind hauraki is on loan at widnes at the moment to help put us down!

We've been lacking enforcers for such a long time. Our pack has been far to content to roll over. These signings are what we need but still need a sprinkle of real quality, Maybe these rumours of jam tomorrow are true? Navigate the Crap 8s and next year we could be competitive?

To me this indicates the market that we are operating in at the moment. Is he better than what we already have? Probably; but only marginally. We've known for over a year that we need big; mean forwards but Sheens seem to have a fixation with outside backs. Until we get a decent platform up front any backs will struggle.
