Not really, he walks the walks. A lot more minutes on the field. He should go really well for us

I think every team needs one or two of this kind of player.
It used to be jjb and peacock for us.

Rumours I have heard in the last week or so.

Shaun Fensom
Kyle Feldt
Josh Drinkwater
Justin O'Neill
Cameron Smith

Them + Jesse Bromwich

Fensom would add nothing very much to what we already have in the back row - players with little impact with or without the ball. Controlling the ruck isn't down to one player's attitude its about the way the team as a whole defends and having players who hit hard and run hard. I've no idea why the idea of adding another plodder to a backrow packed with plodders appeals at all.

I also don't get the obsession with signing cast offs from the Cowboys - they're releasing players for a reason. That being that once Thurston, Scott and Taumalolo's performances dropped a notch, a lot of them have been shown up for the really average players they are, and the coach recognises the need to improve the quality of the bit part players. Uncannily like ourselves in fact.

Is this 'the' Cameron Smith? Whilst I'd love to see him in Blue and Amber I'm sure he would be on a fair whack, and we could make better use of the money in two or three slots across the field.

I'd also like Drinkwater at the club but considering we're so thin in quality across the forwards it's a lot of the cap to spend on half backs (with Myler, Lolohea and McLelland) unless Lolohea can operate as a utility?

Realistically there can't be anything in this Bromwich rumour can there?

Fensom and Feldt are realistic and would improve on what we have most definitely. Feldt is a very good winger goal kicker.

Can't see Smith coming.

Need a big prop most definitely.

Drinkwater or Hastings are interesting.. it depends on where lolhea is going to play. I've heard one signing is a big one and there's one brit.
