If this is the standard of signings to come then get your guide to championship grounds out. Poor.

Many of our less well known signings have come good, who really knew Carlos, Fonua (1st spell) and Talanoa was working as a bin man after a health problem.

Also standards in SL have reduced so anyone regularly playing in the NRL should be at a higher standard. Have some faith.

Also theres no relegation anymore...

Obviously an avid fan, given his knowledge of the game,isn't he/she/them or they (got to be inclusive now don't we)? As for his derision- just two words- Rhys Kennedy. Need I say more?

You only need to be a decent NSW Cup player to be a decent player in Super League

and I can't say that he offers more than what Griffin/Savelio,

If he can play more than 40% of the games he’ll offer more than Savelio & if he can his mouth shut and not get sent off he’ll offer more than Griffin.

People crying amd whinging for months on here , On the verge of depression and spoiling their day to day lives , because we haven’t announced no signings . Then we sign someone , and still pick faults and saying he’s rubbish …. Nearly fell in the trap then and put a laughing emoji.

Could not agree more with some of the above messages from so called R.L. experts we havebeen crying out for bigger forwards for months, give them a chance before you condemn them bet your life if they turn out well the doubters will be full of praise for the signings.

All this holier than thou crap reminds me of a chap, lived about 2000 years ago, used to go round making really profound statements like, “ he who is without sin, cast the first stone” and “ gerrum onside” Mmmmm, they crucified him, probably for being a RL fan, not unlike what’s happening on here, flipping hypocrites.
