He has a better pedigree than Kylie, and he's better than what we have.

We can only sign one overseas player this season so we should we be setterling . I would rather wait to see if someone of real quality becomes available.

Kylie has an incredible work ethic, he looked after himself and was the toughest competitor. From the admittedly little I’ve seen of this guy, he doesn’t possess those basic fundamental building blocks.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Sun Feb 09, 2020 8:00 pm  

He's the forward version of Lolohea, junior grade super star, loads of natural talent, poor work ethic, full of errors. Also not the type of prop we need, skillful but dosnt roll his sleaves up and get the hard meters, bit undrsized aswel...Listed at 110 kg but if he lost the fat he needs to lose he'd be lucky to top 100kg. Im usually optimistic with NRL signings but struggling with this one.

On the plus side, iv been wrong many times before so hopefully this will be another if we sign him.

Yes agree. But I'm open minded and cant always judge a book by its cover

Never heard of Ava either and he looks good so far. Its not so much about me having never heard of him (I dont watch much of nrl),but his stats dont seem that impressive for someone who needs to come in and make a big impact.

I hear you but when we signed Ava we didn't have marquee money available.

Completely agree.im not saying that we have to buy a current aussie international but he just seems a big gamble to me.anyone on a par with Ava would be a good signing for me.

We might as well have kept Peteru if we're in for Lisone.

The club have to get the next few signings right, marquee or not.
