If he is coming as a utility cover to replace rankin then should be OK but if he is one of these highly paid star outside backs then I have to say I'm completely underwhelmed. 13 first grade games

Underwhelmed you Jake,no way.

I get this feeling that we're going to miss out on Inu now. He'd would be the perfect centre for us. Great step, powerful and knows how to put his winger away with ease.
We're seriously going to lack pace next season though unless Lancaster starts which I can't see happening though.

If you are suggesting we are missing out on some pace by not signing Inu you are clearly wrong,he's no quicker than Yeamo.

Hmmm. Slightly odd signing on the face of it. If we need a centre why not sign a specialist centre?

Hope he goes well for us anyway.

So if Steve Michaels with over 100 first grade NRL games is a waste of a quota spot what does that make this lad who according to Radford has been signed as a back up centre, implying he wont even make the 17 most weeks?

He is clearly a stand off and wants to play there so maybe its been sold to him on the basis he will take over from Pryce in 2017.

I hope he turns out to be an inspired signing and will give him a chance when I see him play but at the moment I'm a bit underwhelmed.

Don't have to tell me Inu has no pace. But I don't expect our centres to have lightening pace, I want that from our wingers, and if we're looking at signing Vidot or Fonua or going with Talanoa as a winger. We'll be big but slow.

Utterly confused by this, if hes coming over to be a standoff then fair enough and he could be pretty exciting, if hes coming over to provide competition in the centres then its a joke as he clearly isnt a centre nor wants to play there
