Well at the very least,the members jersey I won a couple of years ago signed by Corey,has relevance again.Got to take the positives hey.

Weird signing can he play lock? Or is this just putting some pressure on Schusters position?

 

[Ben]

I thought we where trying to grey rid of the dead wood, not sign them back up.

Not weird if he's a bargain basement buy.

 

[eagle66]

why,why,why?????

 

[KNUCKLES]

This club is so backwards...
I'm speechless..
And I can't deal anymore..
Honestly

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Interesting. He is tough, and a hard trainer, and experienced now at NRL level. Possibly some depth for middle forward rotation?
Wouldn't think he'd be a front line candidate for 2nd row, and doubt he has the ball skill for lock. We'll find out!

A number for the top 30…I hope

 

[double hoops]

Isn't he going to be Jake's brother in-law!

Which is why it's just a stupid signing. I'm all for mates playing together.

But does he bring intimidation and a hard edge to our soft as pack?

Who is he putting pressure on? Brother in law Jake at lock? Or his brother in the back row?

Would have preferred we kept the spot vacant to see what becomes available before June 30.

One year deal, so not as though we are building our hopes around him. More giving him a chance to show he has something useful for us. Must be a low-dollar deal

 

[JenEagle]

Blacktown ? Surely

 

[Ben]

Surely this is a Blacktown and injury cover signing. We have Hmole, Schu, Burbo and Lawton all in front of him.
I guess losing Kelma and with Lawton being shopped we need someone with some NRL experience on the cheap.
Now that I think about it, these cheap signings are to free up cash for a play at a bigger signing. Fingers crossed this is the case.

Umm think we already tried with him. FMD are we serious about top 8 or are we just a make up the numbers club now.

 

[stoodamire]

Jakey must have put in a good word.

 

[Leighbra]

I don't hate it!! To be honest, I think it's a smart signing Corey has a dig and will add mongrel to our bench.

 

[Disco]

Not inspired by this at all.

My only thought is they see him bridging a Keppie void (on far less coin) for 1 year till we hopefully land a marquee forward for 25.

He did play 22 games this year for 58min, 94m and 26 tackles.

I just......dunno, don't love it.

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

FMD that will do me. I've enjoyed watching the dogs **** fest over last few years and CW has been front and centre. We let him go because he wasn't good enough and we have just taken him back. I'm not feeling it Anthony. Not feeling it at all.

In the article on the website Seibs is quoted saying "He adds a different sort of dimension to the middle forwards that we have already got" to me that says we are viewing him for the middle.
