Bit of a gamble, but all overseas players are so this is not a lot different really.

Potentially excellent, capacity to let his mind wander, let's hope at 25 he has put the distractions behind him.

Like this signing, young and English.

Rangi & Tansey, drinking buddies since 2013

Cant you take him now please?, never seen such a lazy player, mind you what do you expect when he's seen drinking into the early hours of a Sunday when he's playing a few hours later, utter waste of a talent.

Our sport does have large proportions of these kinds of people.......

Rangi, Todd Carney, Tim Smith, Longy: where you are not sure if they're more trouble than they are worth. There are others who have ruined it and never fulfilled their potential too of course.
At 25 you would rather hope that falling from an NRL contract to York (no disrespect intended) might focus his mind a bit.

No problem with this, expect he will divide opinion, like Goldy utility back and not clear what his expert position is. Always felt he was a bit like Pryce, played how he was feeling and a heart like a pea sometimes, interesting.

good signing I feel , as he will add competition for places to the outside backs and can cover most positions in the back line. Will be cheap too.
I would expect a few more signings like this as I reckon IM is trying to build a bigger squad of 25-30 players.

Definitely will be cheap, 40 Park Drives and 24 cans of Skol a day should cover it.

I'm sorry but if this is the standard we've dropped too then god help us next season!

Extremely disappointed with this.

I thought Shenton was the standard of player we were after for next season?
Tansey is lazy, ill-disciplined and a liability. Glad it's only a year but even that is too long

a bit like rangi then ??? at least he wont be our top earner !

Give the lad a chance, he hasn't even pulled a black and amber shirt on yet. Once he has played half a dozen games with the team that we put out next season, then a judgement can be made but surely not before.

He's been sacked off by most clubs, that tells a big story.

He is going to have a lot to prove to many people

When Tasney was at Hull he showed a lot of talent and could have stepped up to be a top player IMO. A lot of us thought it was a shame that he wasted his talent down the pub. He's come back through the lower clubs and earnt a new SL deal, if he can keep his nose clean he will be a good addition.

Significant upgrade on McGoldrick, with the same off-field attitude.
