I didn't even want to dignify these comments with a response but they are so far from the mark it isn't even funny.

When Wigan were winning everything in sight in the 80's they always managed to find decent overseas guys

maybe aussie/kiwi scouting is something we could be better at

Remember the likes of the iro brothers and botica to name 3 of very many they managed to recruit. in this day why can't we find such quality ?

Lockyer.

I just can't see him being a flop in SL. Easily get 2 years out of him. It'll be similar to when Catalan had Stacey Jones and it worked for them.
