Anyway, it's MM, what do other people think, what will he bring to the side/club?

Experience, a good work ethic, reliability and an excellent recipe for spaghetti bolognese.

can we have one thread this week that isn't about Standee?

Don't watch the Titans every week but Mini seems a solid enough player. His brother's only just retired at 34 and I'd expect a back rower to have a bit left in the legs compared to a smaller fullback/winger.

If we are after another second rower then this signing makes no sense to me at all. We are screaming out for some pace out wide. It honestly feels like he's been offered, Radford has thought 'I've heard of him', and we've gone for it. I know its difficult to sign NRL players of a certain age and quality, but this really doesn't fill me with any joy at all.

I agree but Minichiello fits the Radford mould of player.No flair but plenty of effort.
In fact he is a bigger older version of Tuson.
I hope he does well but its not an exciting signing that will get fans flocking to the KC.
That's two marquee signings according to Radford Minichiello and Pryce Lets hope it is a successful double act.

How much cap do we think they may be taking up between them, £400k ish?

Re: Its Minichiello : Fri Aug 15, 2014 3:22 pm  

He'll make errors & concede penalties, but only because of the way he plays, heart on his sleeve & 100% in every tackle or carry. Not just a grafter either, a line breaker & a real go to player for the Titans.

Been one of my favourite players...WAS one of my favourite players (might have to re-evaluate this now)

Saints have signed Vea from London recently & Wigan Tautai from Wakefield. What would the reaction have been to signing either of these? Anyone that's disappointed with bringing in Minichello needs to get a grip.

MM's wife is pretty tidy, so will be a nice view in the players lounge

Good way of looking at it. Wigan supposedly getting moi moi as well. Who really isnt what he was. I like this signing. Think he'll go well!!
