Masked Eagle said:I think he was over rated. When we had some funds available after Ben Kennedy retired and we chased about every off contract backrower in the game and he couldn't land anybody.

Will be interesting to see how long he lasts at Tigerpie Town.

Yep, he also forced Fatty to go the Roosters, and didn't do enough to re-sign Fulton.
Making up stories is pretty fun, I might do it more often.
