Jordan is a great player who offers a team huge utility value. But can also perform at a high level in a number of positions.

He debuted at 16 years old in the NRL. That is an unbelievable achievement, in fact it's almost an impossible achievement.

I would be ecstatic with this signing, I can finally see a squad that on paper is more than capable of competing with the best.

We don't really need him do we.. unless he's dirt cheap then he opens up some options. Especially with our recent injury luck we seem to have adopted last season.
However I'll give anyone a chance who's willing to put there body on the line for us.

You must have extremely low expectations then. He's a decent FB and can fill in in the halves but that's about it, although he is a pretty weak 1 one 1 defender.

Debuting at 16 is an incredible achievement yes, but he hardly played in the years after that in a team that struggled most seasons

Personally I think Mamo is a better fit for you at FB than Rankin. If Rankin is coming over to play wing then IMO it's just a massive waste

Re: Rankin : Thu Jun 08, 2017 11:35 am  
It might be better to wait and see if we really are interested in him before either slagging him off or praising him, depending whether you like him or not.

Myself i thought he was quite decent at Hull, much the same as Turner at Saints, Not a world beater but better than average and in any event it's how players play for you that matters not what they have done before, "I think D Powell would know about that".

We have posters on here wanting Ellis back and others who think the likes of Ferguson and Smith were good buys, so that just shows the difference in peoples opinions, and to be fair we have had players come here with big reputations who have been poor, and we have had players with no particular reputation who have turned out very well.

So much depends on the coach and team spirit, which at the Giants seems to have taken a turn for the better this last few games, so from that point of view now might be a good time for Rankin to come if he is coming, Keep some of the players on their toes so to speak.

Re: Rankin : Thu Jun 08, 2017 12:05 pm  
For me Rankin is the Australian Lee Gaskell. Similar age and would probably command a similar salary. If he were to sign someone would be making way. If we were signing anyone else I'd want a big prop to keep our momentum when Seb has a rest. Unless Rankin is seen as a partner for Gaskell and long term replacement to Brough I don't really see the point...

Re: Rankin : Thu Jun 08, 2017 1:41 pm  
getting stronger this rumour now

when he played at hull fc i never really noticed him to be honest, but has nrl pedigree, mixed response from hull fans some love him some dont.

we dont need a full back or winger so must be coming to play in the halves

most clubs have 3 half backs nowadays...

maybe ellis wont return or rankin replacing brough.

also linked with randell from newcastle for 2018 though,. been linked with him ever since stone took over

I think the poster above nailed it, when he likened him to Jordan Turner, he is a decent signing,100% effort and heart on the sleeve, that's why he was well liked by the Hull fans, key is finding his best position, which I think is FB, but he is weak in defensively FB play.
