Just had a look at Cory Paterson's highlights on youtube, he goes good, real good. I hope he brings that sort of form with him. Looks like a good signing. I will even pick him in my fantasy team.
 
we are lacking in the backrow and he's experienced.. still only 26… i think it could be a great buy, but as someone else suggested, the risk is on a 1 year contract that if he plays well - the agent will be asking for alot more $$
 
i watched 2 recent games of his,one against salford and the other against catalans.

bit of a mixed bag for me.would like to see more grunt work from him.
but he does have a big play in him.showed good footwork at the line to get between defenders on one play and then gave a nice offload to the fullback coming through.result was try a couple plays later.
seemed solid in defense and also came up with a strong one on one strip.
also stuck the old leg out to stop a kick and ran 40 yards.
did come up with a holding down penalty that swung the game late against his side.had a couple penalties in both games.

could be feast or famine on this one.

going to be a very tall squad next year.

I agree with you there, we will have at least 5 players over 190cms, we won't be lacking size

He has to pass the first year's hurdle first. If he goes well enough he most likely will be worth.

We're not playing AFL.
 
i had never heard of him and im only going off his highlights video but he might be a good signing. he brings some size which we lack and has good handling skills and good footwork for a forward which will hopefully result in quick play-the-balls and hopefully good attacking opportunities off the back of it. still im glad he's only signed for one year. tigers seem to be learning a lesson from previous dud investments

I think he will do well for us.
Remember his days in NRL, ran hard, supported well.
Thats all we need.

Thats what I think too.
He always had a bit of something about him when he played in the NRL, so lets hope he can step it up a gear when he comes back.
He is big, fairly mobile and has a bit of mongrol, which is what we need.
