Horsburgh has a middle age lump around his mid section. And in today's game I would rate him on a par with Klemmer.

I don't mind penrith, sharks, or manly winning it. Yes, I said manly. I don't want our fans to deathride brooksy but I'd much prefer them over others. They also deserve it. They're the only team to have beaten roosters, storm and penrith this year. The only team. Also lost to us lol

I wrote that he was second and third man into tackles.. It is difficult to miss a tackle when a team mate or two is there before you. He did stop Watson or Keary when he was on his line and one of them ran directly towards him so made a ball and all tackle. Compare his game to Tapine. It was like the consummate professional v amateur hour. I hope he is nowhere near WTs.
Your guess is wrong. He clarified many times. Apparently the Storm and Roosters would have no interest in To’o.
So yes Storm would apparently prefer Dean Ieremia

Canberra have beaten Penrith and Roosters the last 2 weeks since Horsburgh came back, there is a reason for this.
Comparing him to Tapine is unfair and also not like for like.
Tapine is a million dollar prop, top 2 in the comp, Horsburgh is not getting that much per season

In the past we'd sign him on the back of that one run and pay elite money as well. 🤣

Tapine.
Who did Ricky bring on immediately when the Raiders were in trouble? Here is a hint, it wasn't Horsburgh.

Great news, we will be able to sign To'o for a song. 🎶

Horsburgh also hasn't hit his peak yet but has potential. It's up to the team to unlock that

That is a ridiculous argument, I thought you were better than that.
That is like saying Webster turns to AFB over any other prop, Walters turns to Haas or Robinson turns to Collins, Seibold turns to Paseka, or Bellamy turns to NAS, every coach goes to their number 1 when in trouble

I would take Horsburgh over Hunt 100%. Apparently money is similar, minutes would not be.

If WTs sign Horsburgh we deserve everything we get. I don't believe he is the player we need. I am strongly supportive of WTs recruitment - Turuva, Luai, Skelton and I hope the WTs can bring in Tallis Duncan. He has consistently played well in a struggling Souths side and this round put a great hit on one of the Panthers' forwards. There is lots of upside to his game which imo will grow at WTs. Kobe Hethrington from the Broncos is also a fine player.

Funny footy facts;
- Arthur Laundy, pub baron and major Dogs sponsor,was actually a long time Tigers supporter, and only got involved with Canterbury coz he was a mate of Dean Pay. Ironically the day he agreed to sign on as sponsor, Pay was sacked by the Board.
He said he was sick of the Dogs coming last so was advised by the Board the best thing he could do was hire Phil Gould.
Initial meeting was held at Percy’s Hotel opposite North Sydney Oval. Whilst Gould was involved with the Warriors at that time, he accepted the job at a club he knew and loved.
Gould then approached Ciraldo at Penrith but, at that stage, Ciraldo was in heavy negotiation with the Wests Tigers but eventually was totally underwhelmed by the people and systems at WT and when he met with the Laundys and Gould he felt much more comfortable.
So Dogs got a keen major sponsor, Gould and Ciraldo. Timing is everything eh !
Of course we had Brydens, Pascoe and little else, now I wonder why he chose the Dogs !!!

I want him to be a good signing but I’m not really seeing anything more than a younger Twal. He doesn’t break the line and tackling only fair?

The backs are the engine, if they don't get you out of your own end then the forwards have no chance. As seen much of this year
I thought Horsburg was enormous today, forget his unfit looks, he was all effort in attack and Defence

We still have 2-3 million to spend on maybe 4 spots. Each signing will be on 600-800kI honestly don’t think we’d have enough money to throw at him to convince him to come over with how much we’re already spending on API, Jarome and others. Sunia Turuva probably cost us a chunk too. In any case it’s irrelevant right now, we can’t approach To’o for another 2 and a bit years.
