As others have pointed out - there’s no journeymen and that has to be a big plus . Youth is the order of the day , although Alvaro is 27 he has the potential to add some steam to the Dragons engine room .
Apparently Griffin believes he can go to another level which is good . Also he received the ‘ Blue and Gold Army ‘ supporters award which suggests that he was a very popular player with one of the most ardent fan bases in the comp.
And for those of you who have not noticed as yet - Paul Vaughan has a beautiful set of pearly whites which I have not seen since season 2018 . It would be great to see the big fella smile once again .
I believe that this group of new faces will take a load of Vaughan and also Cameron McInnes which will certainly help with the ‘ mid-season fades ‘ of the past .
I am not going to criticise the signing, good coaches recognise the talent in players and what they can offer to the team which will deliver the game plans they put in place. I trust Hook’s judgement and he knows what Alvaro has to offer and he is confident he can deliver so that’s good enough for me, he has cap restraints at the moment which he is working within. I am sure if Bellyache had signed him there wouldnt be the same negative press as he has proven time and again how to get the best out of players and he buys players some similar to Alvaro for a specific role and they usually deliver.
