I guess Russell Packer is the worst buy for 2014

The DT did a muck racking story about the fact that an injured Hayne didn't attend a Parra match and instead went shopping.
See story here:

The Tele mocked up a photo of him at Woolies (as you see above) And some borderline genius, called kevin commented Mr big head,shopping in his footy gear??Mr big head,shopping in his footy gear?? really,as his team gets belted yet again...i wonder did he have his fancy coloured boots on as well. What n.r.l player goes shopping in his footy gear..... what an absolute Muppet..
And then followed by this belter

I will nominate one addition for each club that I rate highly
From there we can all argue about who is best and tell each other they're full of shit
Broncos - Ben Barba
Raiders - No one minus the addition of Ricky Stuart means they're already worse
Bulldogs - Chase Stanley (can I say that with a straight face?)
Sharks - Blake Ayshford, no Reni Maitua, no Daniel Holdsworth, no Eric Grothe Jnr oh f**k it this is hilarious
Titans - Maurice Blair
Sea Eagles - errrrr, errrrrr, errrrrr, ummmmmm well they signed Cheyse Blair :lol:
Storm - weeeeeeell they added weight to their pack by signing George Rose. No it's Hymel Hunt purely because his name is so very nearly rude
Knights - Out of Clint Newton and Michael Dobson I'll have to say their best gain was Kurt Gidley returning from injury
Cowboys - Lachlan Coote
Eels - Will Hopoate & Nathan Peats
Panthers - Elijah Taylor & Kevin Naiqama
Souths - Joe Picker
Dragons - Gareth Widdop, Dylan Farrell & Joel Thompson
Roosters - Jackson Hastings (in five years for some other club probably) It sure as shit aint Remi Casty
Warriors - Sam Tomkins & Jason Bukuya
Tigers - Some geriatrics & Dene Halatau
Looking at that lot all I can say is most clubs are already happy with their roster or they're going to announce some more signings soon.
The best are
Ben Barba (Broncos)
Lachlan Coote (Cowboys)
Will Hopoate & Nathan Peats (Eels)
Elijah Taylor (Panthers)
Gareth Widdop & Dylan Farrell (Dragons)
Sam Tomkins & Jason Bukuya (Warriors)
All in all, the only team that finished in the top eight and made a strong signing were the Cowboys - and they finished in 8th and therefore under performed. Plus Coote is a straight swap for Bowen who went to England
Pretty interested to see what Lagi Setu can bring to the Raiders. I rates him big time before he went to the Broncos but he's fallen off the radar the last few years.
Brad Arthur. Was given the credit for manly's sound defence last year and will have learnt plenty from the winning culture over there. Will be an improvement on his predecessor. One of the better decisions made by the parra board over the last few years. And they nearly merkined it up, too.
Mossop is a bloody good player. The fact I've mentioned Peats and Hopoate before him shows you how well the Eels have recruited. OK, sure you needed to recruit well and are missing quality in the second row, but you're not going to be the piss poor team you were last season.
It's a crying shame the other Pom pulled out because he was a decent second rower
huh....he was player of the hear in 2012, had an injury interrupted 2013 where the dogs attack always looked 100 times better when he was on the field. the off season has been harsh for barba if all what you listed happened in that time frameBarba is getting a lot of nominations, but although he has some freakish qualities, I put him in a similar class to Benji, burst onto the scene and was a freak,but as he got older and the other teams put in place strategies to negate his attack, he has came back to field. Maybe playing with the Bronks he may reinvent himself but I get the feeling has has peaked
