He's an unknown Gower with hair.
Tell us your thoughts, Pete. Would you consider Davey as an astute signing? I liken it to the council having to spend their budget or risk having it cut. Very strange.......
If you’re going to star in any grade you’ll do it at your peak. Why would you think a 27 year old who hasn’t played NRL is going to be worse than a 21 year old who hasn’t played NRL? At least the 27 year old has experience against grown men in reserve grade (including some NRL players).
LOL. You haven't lost your touch Pou. The Eels pluck some ageing unknown from obscurity who will most likely play reserves unless the six options in front of him are injured. That doesn't sound like a plan for the future to me. Have you seen him? Junior could inhale him. It's even worse if those dollars used to sign him restrict our ability to give Hayne another season. To me, he's an average signing at best.
He'll have some mates before a ball is kicked over the sideline on the full.
A minimum salary player wont harm any prospects of signing hayne
No worries mate. But if anyone can say he's an astute signing or even a good signing that will help us move forward then enlighten me. If not, then it's more money pissed up against the wall.
Ageing? He is 27. Peak age for a rugby league player, regardless of how good they are.
The fact it’s a one year contract should have tipped you off.
The dollars used to sign him need to be spent on an NRL backup. And plenty of signings are worse than average.
Well, we won that lottery! BTW, I consider 27 to be old in NRL player terms when you're a noob.
I've had my say so I'll leave it at that. He can take solace in the fact that I rarely know what I'm talking about.
All good mate, neither do I. And it's a fan forum, so if we can't give our opinions on the team then it would be pretty boring.
Lol my guess is as good as yours
You have to sign 30 players ffs. On at least minimum salary. You can't only sign 20 and spend the savings on your favourite player.
Who's talking him up ffs? I'm just countering the usual death riding bullshit we get around here. If merkins weren't in such a hurry to put shit on the signing I would never have mentioned it.
