you'll probably put this down to FC bias, but I post looking at it objectively. I don't know how he will go for you guys, steady performer but I don't know if he is a wow signing. Will no doubt help to bring on people like Oakes etc.

No, that sounds pretty fair. Difficult to know how any new overseas signing will go.

Probably towards the top end of what teams can be expected to sign from the NRL these days though (one or two exceptions apart), so hopefully he'll go well in Super League

If you didn't feel that way you probably would not have thought to make that statement. From reading Aussie fans comments could well be better than any second row you have. Only time will tell. That is possibly KR bias by the way.

Very solid signing in my opinion. Does that leave Vaivai on the wing?

It's a good question, and certainly gives us some options. I wouldn't be surprised to see

Vaivai
linnet
Keinhorst/crooks
Shaw/hall

Left edge would be devastating, right edge solid. I like vaivai in centre mind, can get his winger away a lot. Although his defence gets a working over which isn't his strongest suit. Decisions!

A very good signing. Don't see how anyone could say otherwise

Very true. Looking very solid side now and still another rabbit to pull out of hat.Exciting times for The Rovers.

Seen a bit of him on Premier sports, big unit, likes to get his winger away. Cant remember seeing him play 2nd row at all.
If he's fit i think he'll be very good. And gotta have a winning mentality after all those grand final wins
