Frank-Paul was signed as the enforcer everyone wanted, and he is that, he takes no crap and is solid as a rock.

He hasn't played for some time at first grade due to Canberra Raiders wanting him off their books.

Before his fall out with the Raiders Management he was a star signing for them.

He's another Hock type character that needs a disciplined coach.

We don't have a coach like that.

He could spend most of his time banned or he could spend it blasting through defences.

Depends which coach runs our club.

OK, guilty as charged! I said that on the basis of being generally unimpressed with what I've seen of him in the NRL. If he turns out well for the Warriors, I'll be as pleased as anyone. I stand by my view that our rivals have been rather more, well, adventurous in their pick-ups from down under, whereas Wigan have looked for brawn.


Fair enough, you've watched him more than I have then. From what I've heard though he was a beast when he was at the Roosters; we all know that Super League is a level below the NRL though so regardless of how things have gone for him the past few months at Canberra, he could be an excellent player for us.

I like your last point btw, one of the main complaints I've seen on this board since I've been on here is that we haven't got enough size and power in our forwards. We proceed to sign a player that fits that profile and all of a sudden we've signed the wrong type of player. Plus we have signed two other players you know, do they fit the brawn category also?

What signings have other clubs made from the NRL lately that are more adventurous than those two in your opinion? Segeyaro I don't think counts as they had to swap Hardaker to get him and he might not even stay beyond this year.

Eh, who mentioned anything about his medal count? I agree but still, bizarre comment.


It wasn't a go at you (written text sometimes doesn't get the point across). I'm simply pointing out how successful Bailey has been regardless of him being an average player (I know you didn't make that point by the way) I think FPN is a far better player and the comparison is an unfair one but should he end up with a medal collection resembling that of Bailey's we'd all be happy enough.

Sandow, Minichiello, Stewart, Gidley, Carney...

And I could add a second tranche who aren't of the standard of those five, but would still almost certainly improve our squad: Cuthbertson, Miller, Kelly...

I'd prefer Segeyaro to an even in-form Hardaker myself, but I agree his stay in SL may well be short.

Even Pritchard and Fonua could be added to that list

Fair enough, he's probably too old to catch up to Bailey's trophy haul though, I think we'd have to win the treble for the next four years!

I definitely agree on Sandow, he's everything Smith isn't, and maybe Carney. The rest I don't think we need and/or have better options. Could have done with all of them this year though with our injury problems.

Souths are trying to edge out Tom Burgess, it'd be nice to do the same with Mossop and Crosby to make room.

Cash + Crosby for Burgess would be worth asking at least.
