In my opinion he a good addition to the team as someone said on forum wish we had put this squad together last season I just hope all new players gel quickly and get us back in the big league. With all the youth in the team there potential to have a good side for a good few years if can keep hold of them all can’t wait for the season get up and running

Small for a hooker, but tackles well above his weight. I’m amazed that Canberra have let him go with the injury to Hodgson.

Chezza, It must have been a done deal before Hodgson's injury.

IF we have signed Kurt I'm a happy camper. Ruptured his Achilles in preseason but came back to play the back end and then the world cup. He is lightening quick from the PTB and snipes trys from acting halfback with his power and speed.
The IF above however comes from a quick troll of the internet that shows his standin while injured (Adam Clydsdale) linked with us.
Not doubting anyone and hope it happens, but I await the official release before I get too excited.

Just announced his retirement VL - to 'concentrate on business interests'. http://www.canberratimes.com.au/rugby-l ... zsndx.html Of course, that could be a bit like Jake Emmitt, 'going to Australia', and ending up in Toronto, I suppose!

Problem is they have signed Garvey. One retirement and a junior leaving won't cover his wages.So they are back to square one in getting salary cap compliant. Baptiste certainly wasn't in their playing plans for 2018. How the player deals with that,with other options on the table I'm not sure.

Possibly he will stay and they'll look at other areas to make space. Down to the player and what he thinks now.
