Any thoughts if you think he would be a good experienced half back with Harry Smith as he is out of contract . I watched him in the NRL and he was superb, in the right team he is devastating .

I’m not his biggest fan he seems to go missing at pivotal points from what I’ve seen. But then again I’ve never seen him play in a side that’s on top to be fair.
He could do a job just how much would he want.

Not for me
has the ability to destroy a team single handedly but only choses to do it once every 10 games and very rarely when it matters most

Would want too much money. Not consistent enough.

We should have signed him when Williams turned us down.

I'd take a punt on him if the price was right.

An old head in the pivot position and also a good kicking game our backs with that pace would be fearful for the opposition and dont forget Warrington made George look ordinary 2 yrs contract worth the risk ????

If he comes at the same price as an injured cust then it might be a good fit

Agree - blows hot and cold. Also, for some reason which I can't remember, I suspect he's disruptive to team spirit - or am I thinking of Aidan Sezer? I think it's something I was told by a Rhinos fan.
