Hopefully he will replace morly but that wont be easy. and hes not really a prop.but its good for the club no matter where he plays.lets hope ricky dont put him on the bench

poached.

Never have been sold on him. I think he's been overrated since virtually game one. He played well in SOO but so did Adam Mogg and I wouldn't want to throw stacks of money at him either.

like him, great defender and wi;ll add some much needed starch to our pack. if only moz was staying. nate and moz wouldve complemented each other brilliantly.

he wont be the solution to our problems but atleast its a step in the right direction. we've got shillington and hopefully tupou to step up as our props next year and i can nate slotting into the backrow along side fitzy.

good signing and i'm not to fussed about the size of the contract, he's young and already showign signs he'll be dominant forward for years to come.

Well I've liked him from the 1st time I saw him play, not unlike the way I felt when I knew we were getting Fitzy after watching Fitzy play off the bench for Saints....and Nate has already played origin so that has to be a bonus.

I am glad he joined our Club.

GO ROOSTERS!!!!!!

i'm not overly excited yet but probably because i've never taken much notice of him before now. i hust hope he's not another dog come for an all expenses paid holiday.

Matt Hilder from Sharks would of been just as good buy for half the price??? Good luck to him good management from his point of view.

No thanks. I much prefer scrambled with a touch of Tobasco sauce . Especially with a hang over...;-)

Roosters need forwards, and the bloke is young yet still experienced. Has to be a step in the right direction...

As a Souths supporter i am much happier that we snagged Roy.

of course you are. and we're happy for you :roll:


now back to Myles...

after watching him play saturday, have a bit more confidence in the signing. took the knocks (with no dives) and put on a couple of reasonable hits. will watch with interest how he gells with shillo.
