I dunno mate. Average players tend to thrive at the Storm but struggle after moving elsewhere. He looks good there but not sure how he'd fare here without the luxury of those structures around him.

We had an issue with background services between march 10th and 15th or there about. This meant the payment services were not linking to automatic upgrades.

I know it's important to have your Greens, but we might be trying to corner the market.
You could throw any 5/8 in that almost perfectly structured Storm side, playing behind an awesome pack with Smith on the steering wheel....hope I am missing something with this bloke, but not an exciting signing...more a sign of desperation and lack of options.

As long as one of our new halves is an organiser I'll be happy.
Yeah. The Storm are always great at getting the most out of the players because of the quality around them. We could do a lot worse than him if he was signed up by us but a young half that controls the game is what we need at the moment. Hynes might not be amazing but he is a steady half who we already have in our ranks (and doesn't cost much). He could fill that role for us fine IMO.
Sounds like B Green has been around for years and even though I have watched quite a lot of matches over the last 8 or 9 years I have never even noticed him! However - I made a point of watching what he did during last night's game and I was impressed with his touches, vision and game awareness, kicking, and defence.
It's true he can take a back seat role at Storm, but he could be a sound signing for us.
Wonder if he can kick goals?

Anyone here not disappointed with our major signings......Myles, Brown, Taupau, Lussick ( last game improved), Koroisau ( ok in patches), Walker.
Parcell is the most promising.
Anyone else........?

I think Tapau is going better than many people are saying. He always gets good metres and is strong defensively. He isn't going to make 3 line breaks a game just because he is a unit.
He needs better ball, which will come if/when we have some better structures and execution in attack.

Was anyone else underwhelmed with Blake green's performance against us on Saturday afternoon?
Surely if you are coming up against your 'new team' (or potential new team) you would want to put in a massive shift, and really make a point?
80 minutes
8 runs
84 metres
17 Tackles
1 missed tackle
24 'fantasy point' (whatever the hell that means)
Don't get me wrong - his team got the 2 points...... so he gets a tick in the ledger for that.
but I wasn't filled with hope that his kicking game or running/passing game were going to make us any better than we have been this year

Yeah true but, the Storm were constantly targeting tom and taufua so he barely saw much ball.

In my opinion he's a stop gap with Manly's eyes on Tom Wright to come through in the next year or so. T.Wright could well be on the wing in firsts next year to acclimatise him, but his position is 5/8 and I suspect if all goes to plan he will be in that position in firsts no later than early to mid 2018

'Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnly'
Let me get this straight. We're signing a half for $350k, as our existing $1.2 mil half, can't do his job.
So your judging him on one game? He prob has been their most consistent performer all year.
