Watching for myself to see if SST still has anything. Catalans v Warrington, he looks ok. Made good pcm after a hitup and looks reasonably fit still. He is a big boy which is the best thing which we are severely lacking. Could be good for a couple of short stints.

Hmm just saw another good hitup where he looked better than most of our current pack lol. He was hitting and spinning, bouncing off defenders.

Mate I'm skeptical too, but hopeful nevertheless
I’m cautiously optimistic now, after actually seeing some of his recent form. Might watch some more Catalans games today if they’re available. I think they said on comms that this is his second game for Dragons, (think it was round 7 or 8 of super league vs Wolves) and he has looked quite good so far.

He was out for most of the year and only played the last couple of games

Not totally sure, but I think the club needs to have developed the player from a young age or the player needs to have played for 6 or 8 years for the club
I think it’s 8 seasons at the club or 10 seasons of Nrl isn’t it? He’s played 10 seasons if he comes back it will be his 11th season

I thought it was for years played at the club they are signing at. But I'm not 100%

He looks pretty good in this match I’m watching, which was round 8. Came on around the 15 minute mark and played the rest of the half. Had some strong runs and a few good tackles. One in particular showed good stamina to pull down a guy who would have otherwise made a line break. That’s all I needed to see, to know that he isn’t too old or not up to it physically. I think he’ll be fine if we get him.

A full preseason will sort out any fitness issues. Given our dearth of middles, he would definitely improve our rotation. He does like to whack them in defense, which is something we need

There’s nothing wrong with the guy. Will be a good addition if he comes.
Cûnts on here acting like we’re choosing him over AFB.
He’s better than any currently available middles in the NRL. It was actually a pretty creative move by Gus to look overseas for experienced middles that still have something to offer.
If he comes, I predict there will be some very quiet haters on here next season.

SST is currently holidaying in Dubai so we probably won’t know for another few weeks at a guess

Na he's done, said it himself. You guys are so delusional. "Creative move" lmao. Like no one has ever bought a player from ESL before :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy:

So he’d be eligible
