We would have to offer double to beat roosters. Seriously, if you were coming over from UK or even already in NRL why would you sign with us over the roosters if the coin was the same. We are a shambles atm and look every bit a 2nd grade side and the roosters could very well go 3 in a row. As much as I love the dogs let’s be realistic, it would be an easy decision.
I dunno Joe Burgess might warn him about being used up and spat out by the Chooks

n asheed here,
i'll ask my friend in taree this weekend his thoughts and get back to you all. he is never wrong and will know.

For me, he will need to be able to bust a move and have muscle to get out of tackles. No one understand this is why Hoppa is so wrong for us, for our team, but wqould be great in other teams.

he seems to be quick enough.

And importantly, hows his defence?

If he can defend and beat tackles then why not?

if he wants to come cheaply, as they sometimes do, then seriously, nothing to lose.

Bateman is friends with him so theres a ripple effect there if we sign bateman.

I like him...
He seems better than what we have but a lot of those tries were on a platter and we don’t have the skill inside to provide the space for him

Speaking of Joe, I wouldn't mind seeing him in the nrl again, he had serious speed and I don't think he was used properly and came out during 10 man interchange when bigger was better.

its not a bad thought process at this stage.

In hr we call this 'Shake and Spill'.

Completely change and churn everything except absolute proven perfomers.

Next minute hill actually announces the signing of Bateau Bay Goannas. Wont even be their best one.

"The left centre declined the offer but the right has happily signed on the dotted line'.

One your best! Just saw on Fox, the St Helens win after the bell, also one of the best.

That’s why I love pommy footy, they attack. I should watch more.

So I wish the Pom was playing Monday.

Yeah pommy footy is better than the NRL as a viewing spectacle.

Some of their tries are Harlem globetrotter stuff. I'm not sure why there aren't more George Williams's here.
The NRL since 2006 has just been slow meat head Tongans bashing into each other and flashing gang signs after scoring tries from decoy running play or grubbers from robotic, pinpoint halves.

Don't forget the Samoans or there will be trouble.

We signed Thompson but have lost CHN and Jayden so we haven't actually made any progress really. Just one foot forward, one foot back type of thang.

Just going off some highlights footage this bloke looks ok.
Decent acceleration top end speed looks ok, positions his winger really well, draws and passes well.
If his defence is solid he could make a go of it in the NRL.
