I would say no because he was already well established. I was going to go all the way back to Henry Paul but of course we got him from Wakey!
I think the best signing we ever made of an Aussie junior had to be Kurt Sorenson. Pity we only hung onto him for a season before he went back.
Ian Roberts was another ten years later, in 1986, he only stayed a season as well.[/quote]
Kurt went to Widnes.

He's been mixed up with Dane.
I wonder if he'll be a project player if he comes? That should ruin him nicely.

Kurt played 16 times for Wigan in 1976 then went back to Cronnulla, probably disillusioned as Wigan were rubbish then.
Widnes signed him in 1985.

I'd forgot about that bill, I take my hat off to you. I remember his brother Dane playing, he was with us for a season IIRC?

I'd love us to have a Kurt Sorenson type of player now. A great player and very intimidating. He once walked past me in the crowd at a game and I've never seen anyone who looked so hard.
