Quote Mr. Zucchini Head="Mr. Zucchini Head"Of all the signings we have made this year Chamberlain is the most underwhelming. I just don't see what he offers. He served a purpose as a stop gap loan signing, but now we are stuck with a very average player on a pretty long contract. I know you aren't a Hardaker fan either, but at least you can point to his experience and competitive nature. What does Chamberlain bring to the table?'"
I thought that when we announced the signing but in hindsight had we not signed him we’d be going into the season with either a completely untried and likely not ready Westerman as first choice centre or moving Briscoe that would leave us short on wing cover/competition.
I’m all for aiming high and being ambitious but maybe they anticipated how hard a sell it would be and had to just get players in who were willing to join. If we are looking for positives in a well coached team he’ll be solid and can cover a few positions, he’s played centre/wing/backrow in SL, but let’s not kid ourselves it’s not ideal.
