Maybe just give the lad a chance and see how he goes.

He went on to earn another contract at the Bulldogs, it should be pointed out.

We've signed plenty of players with regrettable incidents in their past - Leon Pryce and Fetuli Talanoa spring to mind - as has every club.

Apparntly good at making yards from backfield, which id say can be another weakness of ours when the bigger lads are injured.

Abit raw from what ive read and does have a handling error in him.

Sounds like the Watson deal isn't dead in the water. I'd like him as a 9, less so as a 7.

Watson seemed adamant he was staying at the Roosters on the podcast i listened to last week.

So we've got:

Ese'ese who's had a drink driving ban
Ashworth who's been in court for alleged theft and criminal damage
Okunbor who chatted up a 17 year old school girl

Hope Tindall and Pele are good eggs

To be fair. You have to be an extreme character to play this sport. Zak Hardaker has lots of baggage but he's a great player. He's just one of many examples. We're not signing office workers, we're signing people that are going into battle.
