    He is just going to be another Bartholomeuz/Fairbanks. May provide some depth but that is about it.

    Seriously, WTF! This team will never amount to anything if they keep signing up players that have their best playing days behind them ... why, why, why, why, why ...

    Yes thats true gunny, but before the depth you need the quality. We are running out of spots to sign a genuine ball playing 12 to compliment Sias

    This sounds and looks like someone buying shoes because they were on sale.
    Who the hell is doing our buying?
    I think we should be waiting until a coach is named and then let him find who he wants. I understand that many of these guys will be signed up but let the coach make the decisions.

    How do you/we know that the new Coach is not making these decisions?

    Just because he/she has not been named does not mean they are not being consulted.

    Contracts can be a complicted process sometimes, lots of fine print.

    Snobs, perhaps the coach is already in place which could be bad news

    I think he is a good pick up. His passing game is great and has a decent boot for territory and field position.
    I think some of us need to have a reality check as far as recruiting goes. The market is small atm for superstar backline players coming off contract and the perception is that we're a shit team so it makes it harder to draw any established performers.
    I dont think the recruiters have an easy task imho.

    If he's so good why did we not pick him up when we got rid of light-fingered Willie.

    I know there seems to be no one a available, but i'd much prefer quality over quantity.

    Why the fudge did we resign Harvey?
