6'4 and 115gs

Just signed a 1 year development deal with the Cows. More experience in first grade and SL than Poasa

Yes might not be great but we're desperate and he's a big body

Poasa isn't great and will likely be nothing more than a Reserves player but Mikaele is pretty average too and likewise will probably barely play any FG. He's not worth discussing or starting a thread about.

He's a QLD lad and probably wanted to stay close to home. Plus, he likely didn't want to sign here.

If we're basing it on body dimensions alone, we may as well sign She-Rex and George Rose.

Interesting, might have been one under the radar the dogs didn't look into, who knows. Probably a James Maloney cheeky scout picking?

I don't remember him, he's a unit and got abit of experience too and played with Kasiano also. Still young too for a prop.

Surely dogs can put a better deal than the cows development contract, he'd be good off the bench bring some impact drawing multiple bodies in defence.

We target panthers and roosters rejects and reserve graders, not titans. Thats why

Not sure… didn’t see that outside of the box suggestion lol
@Flanagun There's so many 'true believers' that I get lost who's who hahahaha when really it's just King Gus with many accounts. It was a very wild suggestion not long after the story emerged about being sent to special training.

This isn’t a dig at you but I love pointing out that Sydney is closer to where he’s from in QLD than North QLD lol

But we need props and if you are over 110kg it’s automatic we need to sign them and if we didn’t than Gus doesn’t know what he is doing and setting the club to fail blah blah blah. Also we should sigh him because he packs into the scrum sometimes on the left sometimes on the right, he has utility value lol
