Bad news indeed. Guess the Warriors will give Nielson back now, just to follow up on the niceness of gifting the dog's Inu.
:lol: We should probably also give them Hurrell as injury cover.

Nielson is overrated. Just like most Storm players that leave Melbourne, he will become a non-factor. The good games he has will be exaggerated by both sides of the Tasman, much like the bad games Inu had.
Forget about it...have you guys watched him play?...he has more speed than henry and his D is excellent...probably one of the best in the NRL.
But I guess you are right...Bell probably doesn't have the depth of understanding of NRL players like we armchair selectors do...he probably has not considered the Melbourne factor and taken that into account when considering weather or not his skills will compliment the warriors style in attack and D...
PW would it be fair to say he'd have to be a half decent player to make the Storm starting lineup ?

So.......we end up on the right side of the ledger there or what ???
Thats the question....the Warriors always seem to buy aussies that are gun defenders, but are crap on attack, or, great on attack but
terrible defenders, and more than a few that were garbage at both. I would love it if when the club chooses to spend big money on imports,
they buy someone who excels in all areas of the game, instead of wasting money on one trick ponies.

Problem is every other club in Australia wants 'someone who excels in all areas of the game' and are willing to pay big coin as well. Aussie's that command good $$$ will stay in Aussie cos they got their lifestyle, family, weather, beaches blah blah blah. Hence we don't have them queuing up to come play for the the warriors.
NZW must have throw some serious offers at decent Auusie guys to lure them over here.
Maybe we have a better chance at landing a hotshot pom??? Think that's been mentioned in here before...
It's always been the problem....Aussie's only seem to come here, because we're offering way more than any other club is willing to pay for
them, or we're the last chance saloon, and they have no other offers. Poms dont like coming to the NRL, because they're basically putting
their reputations on the line.
I have no problem with the signing itself, i have a problem paying overs for another over rated player.
So why do we care whether Nielsen is getting paid overs, as long as he's the player we desire and he wants to come here?
