Why are people excited about Cory Patterson? Another average first grader.

exactly . not a leader , just another follower when he is fit . esl form isn't hot either ,remember London broncs got 70 put on them in a semi a couple of weeks ago .I just hope its two good signings , not the average signings us wests fans have become accustomed to .please don't be peter Wallace .I see the value in George rose if potter could get him fit ,but its a no ;oss , cause if he couldn't get him fit krispy kremes would get the benefit of his signing .
 
finch has knocked us back 3 times in the past , he wouldn't lower himself if asked a 4th time . plus he is bearing on his use by date as well . First grade rugby league is a young guys sports these days . the players smash each other .no more 30 plus players please .
 
Austin was a much vaunted half but is actually a really amazing prospect in the centres

if above is true then mayer and potter have gone back to the sheens days, both are no better than what we have.
Hope to see two pommey signings, as mayer said in his address to the fans about ESL players watch this space. :bash :roll
 
Paterson is a pommie signing! (well he plays in England..)

Is Austin really the experienced half we need? Can't say I know a lot about him but I'd be inclined to say no. Don't know who is. Finch?

When did they say it was a press conference?

I'm quite happy with both players.

Austin is only just acratching his ability. He might turn out to be a useful addition due to his versatility (might be the catalyst to remove Moltzen).

Patterson I remember as being a decent player in the NRL, but watching his ESL highlights, it looks like he's upgraded his passing game, and he looks for the offload on nearly every hit up- something that the Tigers could certainly use. A backrow of Fulton, Sue & Patterson looks halfway decent.

Get with the times chooky….social media hits is where its at today bro

Two handy signings imo.....Im happy with this

I think people expect too much, need to be realistic....we arent attracting any marquee for a while
 
well this is the 1st time everyone seems to be stumped to who we have signed.
It will be hopefully be a great and pleasant surpise to all of us.
Come on 1pm.

Yeah, it's two decent signings. People want us to get Folau, JT and SBW and still they'll find something to whine about.

Just hope we're not paying overs.

Anyone know much about Austin? Seemed okay at the panthers but is he the guy to help mentor brooks and moses?
