Dragons Sign Michael WITT

[Inspector Gadget]

Signed on a one year deal. Returning from a stint in the UK. Thoughts?

Has he developed into a top line prop forward in this time ?

The St George Illawarra Dragons have today confirmed that Michael Witt has agreed to a one-year contract that will see him join the Club until at least the end of the 2014 season.
Witt, 29, who can play as fullback as well as in the halves, debuted for the Parramatta Eels during the 2003 campaign and later played for both the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles (2005-06) and New Zealand Warriors (2007-09).
The Toowoomba-native has most recently been playing in the Super League with both the Crusaders (2010-11) and London Broncos (2012-13).
Witt will join the Dragons for pre-season training on Thursday, December 5.

Are we serious with this?? No idea what we have signed him. Certainly seems like a misguided recruitment.

 

[Weipa Dragon]

Seriously, how many halves does it take to make a circle? Waste of money in my opinion as we have Quinlan, Drinky, Kyle, Widdop, Williams, Bird...who else can be classed as a half on the books? Front rower is the one we need. Petero for one more run!!

????

Apparently quantity and not quality is what's needed to succeed according to the Dragons

 

[_snafu_]

"We are always on the lookout for quality players"...

 

[TheRev]

thats a bizarre purchase.. unless hes meant to be the backup fullback (i.e. cutters fullback) and they have a different plan for Quinlan.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Interesting signing. Not sure why but interesting. Can he fill in as a hooker?

Can kick goals that is for sure from memory.

 

[dubo]

I am jumping through hula hoops as we speak. Looks like he can kick a few goals with the ladies just quietly.

 

[God-King Dean]

Looks like we're gonna have to put up with Wittyfan for a year.

 

[Coppo_ForeverYOUNG]

Yeh good goal kicker, not a bad signing really IMO, a more experienced player who will help a very young crop of halves coming through, Widdop is all class but still only 24, Williams and Stanley are 22 probably wont see first grade but will put pressure on blokes to perform.

 

[BrissyRedV]

Did use to play a little hooker? Could be played as the back up hooker other wise I think he is purely going to be depth. We will be fielding one of the youngest sides in the comp next year so a little experience around the training paddock will not go astray. From what I remember he was a zippy little player

 

[redwhitedragon]

Price will put Witt and Stanley as first choice halves, for sure....

 

[Dr Fruitbasket Returns]

Hey, an old reserve grade level half. Exactly what we need to solve our massive problems in the forwards and dig us out of the bottom three.

FFS. The clowns are running the circus.

 

[Como Connection]

Well I didn't announce this early this week, very busy with golf, however my man told me the Dragons were looking for signings in the halves and also the front row, so I guess so big guy/s still to sign.
Stay tuned, sorry about my bit late mail, but I was right on mark again, believe me

MONGrel?

Must be 52 by the time next year rolls round. Waste of cap space IMO.

 

[TruSaint]

It doesnt take much... some may say, but i have flabbergasted...

Another half / utility ?

What role could he possibly have ? Hooker... too many options.
Halves... we bought them like it was black Friday.

Fullback? Hellooooooo...

Tumbi, can you shed some light on this bermuda signing???
Mnigh ???? anyone.
