Yes, he also plays at half back

Wont really help but apparently a quote from a board member was it was a signing that 'will blow everyone's mind'

If its Eastmond i will be very underwhelmed. he didnt impress me that much when he came on the scene at Saints.....

Chris Sandow.

No inside knowledge but Ben Barba (not a centre I realise) has been mentioned on the Saints board,. Mind you they also claim Ratchford is signing for them...

How about Manu Tuilago? Possibly unsettled at Leicester, unlikely to play for England again and has brothers who have played Rugby League.

Hmmmm "Blow everyone's Mind"

I was just thinking who the centres were in the recent Aussie v Kiwi test?
They were:
Josh Dugan, & Will Chambers for Oz, and Jordan Kahu, and Dean Whare for NZ.

they are rightly good players to have earned a test jersey... "but blow my mind"...not a chance.

An Andrew johns Blow My mind type of player would be
Thurston, Inglis, Sonny Bill Williams, Andrew Fifita, Jarry Hayne (just), Jason Taumilolo, (probably a few others but they aren't jumping out at me right now) they are game breakers, big players, star names...

the next level would be a wow! the Shaun Johnson's, Jordan Rapana's, James Tedesco's of this world

and next there are plenty of rising stars like Kane Elgy Ash, Taylor, latrell Mitchell (the next Greg Inglis for me) who would certainly surprise me, but as not really established wouldn't blow my mind....and I 'd be curious to why a young player would come to Superleague.

I hope its not Benji Marshall......

Ive never heard of him...and never seen him play

I'd be in the "not mind blown category" if he was the signing.

Hopefully not anyone from Aus or NZ looking for a pension.

If it’s none of the above, who’s closer to home who would blow our minds in a controversial sense i.e. someone making an unexpected switch from a close rival? Can’t think of anyone personally.
