I assume you mean Rudder.

Can you please fix the poll up?
i would have voted for yes, as a forward but am unable to.

I'm leaning towards no, either that or a foward, but he definitely shouldn't get his hands anywhere the number 6 jersey.

definitely definitely do not want him back

he looked very out of place playing 5/8 and wasnt a great forward either - besides we seem to be doing fine in the forwards department

if he wasnt good enough to even play for st helens (was it??) for the length of his contract what makes him good enough to come back and play for the knights?

At the right price we definately want him back - less than 100k - and only if he plays most games.
He is not a great player, but he is a great clubman. We could count on him to do a job at 5/8, lock, second row - or even lead around the Premier League side.

If he wants to put in the work, he will be a good member of our top 25.

Castleford played him at halfback - which says to me that they never actually watched him play before signing him.

He's a great club man you say roopy. He has openly admitted that he was dropped to the bench for the knights due to the fact that he stopped putting in. He put on weight and didn't put in at training. This is what he's been quoted as saying.

I wouldn't say that resembles a great clubman.

Get him to fill Tahu's spot on the wing. He has speed to burn and that time in England will have raised his standard of footy by a trillion.

I think if the Knights were looking at recruiting a 5/8 they should look at pulling someone out of retirement, seeing that is the trendy thing to do these days. I would suggest getting Paul Harrigan or perhaps Butterfield to play 5/8. Someone who has loads of experience in the halves, yet adds absolutely nothing to rugby league at the moment. I would also recommend looking at Robbie O'Davis. He is definitely peaking in his career and a move to the halves, like Lockyer, would put him right in Australian selection.
