Very average player
Experienced centre although his age isnt on his side, nor his up and in defensive reads, otherwise a good pick up for any club, probably not ours tho, we should maybe be looking at Peachey again, just as a back up for 5/8, centre, Utility, as was his role before his long titan deal, he was a good spark in 2017

It always matters what you're paying a player, but Glenn seems like a good pickup on face value. Plenty of experience, stable off the field, not subject to a bidding war. He's not going to be the most flashy signing but he's taking Wintersteins spot so we're not looking for a pack leader.

Seeing more suggestions we’ve signed Alex Glenn, not quite sure what to make of the signing if so. Depends on the money spent.

I really haven’t noticed him in the games I’ve watched, but his numbers are nothing special. Hope it’s just a minimal deal.


Good defender.

Young guy who played for South nsw cup. Hiroti. 20yld winger. Looks ok and be worth a cheap signing.

I think we'll be linked with everyone coming off contract or being "shopped around"

Journos will just throw mud at the wall and something will stick eventually, given we look to be somewhat active in the player market. They're bound to get one right sooner or later.

The last thing we need is ageing players who are declining with each season. We already have that in the likes of Mansour an Whare.

Unless they're depth on minimum wage we shouldnt be wasting our time on them.

Honestly nearly every name thrown out would be disappointing to sign.

Exactly how I see it. We pretty much lost a depth pack.. Need replacing from somewhere

The issue with them is the long deal. If they had 1-2 years left then would be good depth options

I would not be disappointed with D.Walker, Ryan Matterson or JWH. I think they all improve our squad.

I think Alex Glenn is a pretty good replacement for a couple of guys that are leaving.

Tim Mannah woukd go ok. Sure he isnt part of top 17 but would be handy as part of top 21. Wont cost a lot and brings experience. Watching him in NSW cup and still to good for that level.

We already have an experienced FRF in Tamou - I honestly don't think we need another one - What we DO need from an imported FRF is aggression and the ability to bend the line and look for an offload.
