Taking cheap punts on anonymous players is a very risky strategy when a club is in a position like we're in.
If they were the only signings we were making I would agree, but they're not so I don't see the big drama. We've announced a first choice NRL 7 to address the most glaring deficiency in our squad and it sounds like we're close to announcing a well rated NRL prop to part-address the second most glaring deficiency.
If we sign him it's clearly a punt on potential talent, not a signing we'll be trying to sell season tickets on the back of. How many season tickets did we sell on the back of Walmsley - maybe we shouldn't have bothered with him too.
Having said that, I often don't see the big drama with you so I'm not sure why I bother
