Gee we are big on letting players go then bring them back ....... Is it because when they are in our system they are bog average , then they go away and develop better in other systems ....... Anyway I hope he goes well for us , was never a fan of the big guy , for me no Mongrel ......

Feels like a sideways move, it’s not like we’ve ever said we missed him.

Admittedly, I haven’t seen him since he left, so hopefully he’s matured as a prop like a lot do around his age.

Could have done better but also done a lot worse. If it means goodbye to Lawrie, RFM, etc then happy days. Good impact prop from the bench unlike the slug who is there week in and week out at the moment stealing a weekly wage whilst other deserving young blokes miss out

i’m happy with it. must be used at prop. when he played for us hook would give him 80 on an edge sometimes which is bizarre. he has been in great form for dolphins and provides a real punch.

I actually liked Kerr the 1st time round. He creates 2nd phase play and has a quick play the ball. Things happen around him. We just had nufty coaches who didnt know how to play him....

Very underwhelming if he was so good why did we grant him an early release like 18 months ago he's solid but has hands like feet.

Flanno seems to enjoy bringing players back Sele, Cook, Luch & now Kerr.

If he's on 300k a year it's a good signing but you can bet he isn't.

Its not even about the money. We can't sign the higher calibre players 99 times out of 100. People have already said it...he was a let down for us, great for a penalty and he hasn't been missed at all.

We need to do much better than this.

Kerr whilst okay isn't an exciting signing at all, he certainly isn't the marquee front rower we've been told we are in the market for.
Give me any of the front rowers Flanagan shat the bed with during negotiations over the last season or two, than Kerr.

We know what we will get with Kerr, an average front rower who at best will go okay as a replacement front rower, as long as there is no butter on his fingers that night.

Once again back to the future and shows how desperate we are as a club, signing from the scrap heap as usual.

The fact some are talking up this signing shows just how the club manages to sink to a new low each time we feel we're at rock bottom.

Not marque I agree but a solid bench prop in the rotation. Hook did him zero favours when he was here last time

Is Kerr an upgrade of Lawrie & RFM? YES.

Is Kerr an upgrade on Klemmer? Because I don’t think you can have both in the same 17..

Surely this means Lawrie is done?

only having 3 spots in our 30 for 2026 is a risk and need to hit our next few signings..

I did read Rava is a 2026 loss (does this mean he’s on loan again at Souths)??? Anyone have info on this?
