Good signing in that it's only for the year and he has improved a lot as is usually the case when players make it to representative level it only improves their game when they go back to NRL level, and he's certainly improved within a quality Samoa side at the world cup. Did help us win the Reserve Grade GF in 2018 as well. Maybe Wests had to offload him after securing Klemmer for 3 years.
Not so sold on Nathan Brown being signed, unless it's for the 1 year. Next season is another step or two up the ladder, could even press for top 8 but feel everything is aimed at being Premiership material in '24 and or '25.
We can't sign to many more big-name players for next season, maybe one, but the club needs to sign these types of players on 1-year deals as a means to an end, to offload for who we really want in '24. They did it last season with Dufty and Vaughn and are doing it again for next season, which I don't mind as I feel there will be a massive clean out at the end of next season with a number of players off contract with us and a few big-name signings on our radar for '24.
