I would be reasonably happy with the signing. Except that I believe this means we are losing my favourite player at Wigan.

If we are making him as an addition then I'd be happy. If we are signing him to replace someone then I'm not.

No. He's actually been pretty good in the NRL, he's requested an early release himself due to personal reasons.

He doesn't get many wrong so it sounds a done deal.

On the face of it the bloke is just what we need but as ever with NRL signings it's about how he settles and hue seriously he's taking the league.

He could be a fans favourite if his heads straight.

Hopefully 'personal reasons' don't also mean he'll do a year and a bit for us then head back to the NRL citing the same reasons.

He was talking about Cooper

It's true that Moley doesn't get many wrong so this does look likely. Personally I'd prioritise a top quality winger (Solomona or Burgess) over a prop but as others have said, he could fit right in. A starting front row of FPN, McIllorum and Flower is pretty formidable when you have Clubb, Crosby, Sutton, Mossop, Tautai to push them and make sure their on their game. I also hope this is not at the expense of you know who!!

I like TC, but the other four aren't doing it for me. Tautai has improved his ball carrying, but still makes too many errors, Biscuit-shoulders and Crosby are steady but not great, and Sutton is still very young. We don't have a sh1thouse like Morley, Graham, Peacock or Sims.

I actually think Crosby has been very good in the matches he has played. Out of all of them probably Flower has been the most disappointing but like a few I sense he's still struggling with an injury.
