Lose Wallace, gain Barba. That's a win in anyone's books.
Ben Barba might have a breakout year with a change of scenery.
I was never happy that the Panthers signed him, or that he played so often for us. But I am certain he will not be the worst buy of 2014. He'll atleast have a go for the Knights and probably deliver a decent return on what is likely a minimum wage contract.f**kwit Newton would have to be the worst.
It has to be Will Hopoate. He's absolutely world class.
I wouldn't say breakout, he did that in 2012.
All he has to do is finish off linebreaks which we completely failed at last year with slow outside backs.
Same kind of vouchers he was getting the the Storm? is there a voucher for a boat ?Apparently GI spent up big at the Boxing Day sales with some vouchers he had laying around. I'm hearing it included some super buys.
Hopefully Tyrone Peachey can become a weapon off the bench for Penrith.
I'd like to bullshit it is someone from my team, but we bought a cast off from the cellar dwellers Penriff and someone from lowly Saint Merge. So I have nothing
I think Peachey will prove to be one of the best purchases of the season, maybe not for output in 2014 but he'll show his potential, still very raw but amazing talent. Kevin Naiqama is the other one I rate highly too, think he has the potential to be a very good winger.
I sort of question why on every other signing though.... as a whole I think there's been a shit load of shuffling at the club but the overall quality of the squad is pretty much the same as what it was in 2013. I don't see Wallace & Soward being an improvement on what you guys already had & the halves is definitely one area that needed to be addressed.
He was 2 years ago. I reckon it will take until mid year at least to see him back on his pre-mission tradjectory.
