"Beggars can't be choosers."

"They want him as a stop gap to replace Ryley Smith.   
I.just watched the first five minutes of him playing hooker against the Storm,  and already throwing forward passes lol 😆 😂 🤣.  
Ill have to watch the remainder to see if he's any good.  Lol"

"The roster gap might also be at the top, Longfin?
A lot of the 13 / 17 are realistically those in-between players (respectfully to them) you mention, especially in the outside backs. 
Su'a is a great start, and EA rates our up & coming front rowers,…"

"The gap in the roster is really between experienced NRL players and juniours not yeat ready for NRL. We don't have enough in between players, which is where this signing comes in. Ideally the junior pipeline would have filled this, but there are…"

"So true!"

"I wonder if Brown will actually get another opportunity? Good to see Samrani returning. Not that fussed with Kelma "

"Shit!"

"But Cap, it's the time of year too. If we did this deal at years end, then yeah that's rubbish. But it's round 10, not many teams aren't going to let go depth. We got lucky with Walker but remember when he signed many said he was a plodder.
If we…"

"And another Hooker with some NRL experience."

"We should never have been chasing players at a time when 2 new teams are entering the competition - poor planning and injuries have forced our hand. Our options now are:

Sign fringe players / plodders and hope they overperform
Pay huge overs…"

"Yep - this clubs ambitions are 16th"

"Your last part just showed his value even if he is a plodder, which I agree with. But the fact he can play Hooker somewhat makes him valuable to us this year."
