"He does play with a lot of tape, our strappers will have their work cut out for them this year."
"He's a physical specimen (as in he's in great shape and I can't recall him ever being out for an extended period due to injury). As you say disciplined. Plus I reckon he's got a smidge of psycho about him which will come in handy."
"I also am very hopefuly that JDB is a good pick up. I can understand the Saints letting him go - their exciting crop of young forwards are probably 1-2 seasons advanced on where our young forwards are, plus they've had exposure to NRL and don't look…"

Sharks don't want him. He's a forward under 30.
I don't know that I'd be making comments like that one Super, given our history of signing over 30s forwards in recent years ....
How many forwards over 30 have we signed? Beau Scott, Vave and Watmough in the past 6 seasons?
T-Rex - 29
Mannah - 30
Vave - 33 (31 when we signed him)
Matagi - 30 (28 when we signed him and now overseas)
Evans - 26
Terepo - 26
Tepai - 22
Alvaro - 25
Ma'u - 29
Niukore - 22
Gower - 32 (28 when we signed him)
I've maintained that anyone claiming we have some kind of retirement home for ageing forwards is complete BS and someone looking for a lazy excuse as to why we've struggled this year.
Ive thought all along we are a good chance to get him, id not be suprised if you are right here Tone
I don't know if he will make our squad unless we lose Vave and possibly a couple of our backrowers.
Paulo, Mahoney, Tapau
Lane, Moreoa
Brown
Reserves
Nuikore, Mannah, Alvaro and a Utility is a handy pack indeed except it means no Vave,Mau and Evans.
I think you need a spot for Terepo as well
He specifically said "may yet come" poppa....context mate :)
