The question is if we are signing Proctor then is he coming over to contribute and with the correct attitude or just the money. I wonder if the Titans were looking for a reason to end his contract because what he did is pretty minor compared to others. This then begs the question why but we will see.

That applies to every player,

It doesn't beg any questions really. At 34 he's got some SL left in him. In the NRL he's a drain on the cap. If we are lucky they might even be paying part of his wages.

If I recall the only clown was you, and you were rightly slated. You said you were out after Applegarth was appointed - so have you got over your sulk and are back in?

Not every player has been sacked by their club’s and not for what one would consider a minor offence. He will definitely not be a threat to our cap but could be a drain on our perceived limited budget.

He would, but that's a coaches call. Finite amount of cash means you have a finite number of options. Of the options available to us he's as good a call as many of the others mentioned on here.

Thus I agree that we have to be more prudent and risk averse than most, but likewise we occasionally have to take a flyer otherwise we will never move on.

Similarities with Joe Leilua this time last year? Some said we should have been in for him others said stay well clear. IMHO we got that one right and, as a biproduct, unearthed a gem in Corey Hall. Fingers crossed again.

Yup, they work both ways.

It's a game powered by hindsight. You have a coach in the hope that he can reduce the hindsight factor as much as possible, but it's still there. Not even Wayne Bennett would claim to have got every signing right.
