Trust me, you won't use him for goalkicking! I think he's only been doing ours this season to reach his 1000th, but his in play kicking has been better this year and if you need someone to drop a goal in the last minute against Warrington you've got him.

We'll miss him at Saints even if it would've just been for a year, but we've some cracking youngsters coming through who are seen as his replacement, its just a shame we couldn't have kept him around to help bring them through as it seems he will do at your place.

Good signing for you imo, but your pack will need to protect him well.

That's what I would like. The problem is that we don't have any young scrum-halfs.

Saints wanted him for next year. So did several other clubs. He may be past his best, but he will finally bring a whole bunch of things that we've desperately needed for years.

Plus we know that he can do the business in SL, which hasn't always been the case for high profile NRL signings.

He's also English, saving us a quota spot and any potential visa issues. And cap space over some of the other names touted around in all likelihood. That gives us more options to strengthen elsewhere.

Looking at the whole package, this is a good signing.

Spot on mate.

I take it that this isn't the "best signing since Peter Sterling" signing that has been talked about ??

Certainly wouldn't be my description, although I suppose in terms of importance to the squad rather than out-and-out quality it might be close.
