Confirmed Signings

[mongoose]

I think he is decent enough now to know he is not a creative player at NRL level and not to overplay his hand every ruck. Can defend well too. As a second choice hooker in a squad that's enough.

Where as a guy like Josh Starling (not picking on him because he's a Raider) has a habit of making the wrong choice at the ruck. He also can't pass from dummy half but then again neither could Mitch Kenny until later this season. Soni Luke similarly was a massive disappointment with his pick up the ball at the ruck look around for a second and then do something. Obviously worked for him in reserves but NRL defences ate him up.

My point being neither Crossland or Kenny are complete liabilities anymore. They've embraced their limitations and play to them. Kenny even came up with some trickery to send the markers the wrong way for the GF winning try.

we are well aware of Starling's deficiencies...

Well we let Liam Knight go and were looking for a like-for-like replacement.

In all seriousness our cap is stacked, the only players we'll get in the next 2-3 years will be these types or juniors.

Ah look in all seriousness it's probably not a bad buy.

Like he's better than a plodder at his best but he's so stupid that he's never going to get much more than plodder dollars. You'll get a few good games out of him and a few weeks where he sprays Aeroguard in his gob just like Knighty

Lol. From the Keppie signing press release:

“We’ve been watching Sean for a number of seasons and he has developed into a strong front rower with controlled aggression in both defence and attack,” Mr Ellison said.

Controlled aggression? Controlled? Are they sure they’ve been watching Keppie?

Moving all the way from cold, damp, boring Northern England.... to cold, damp, boring Canberra.

Do they think they don't have another option.

Canberra’s neither damp nor boring. Piss off back to your run-down cesspit of a town.

f**k the Dogs are a dumb club. They sign Crichton to be a marquee Fullback, then sign Taaffe. Another 4 utilities but still no solid 7. WTF is wrong with Ciraldo/Gus..
