Quote ="CGD"Purtell? You can have him. For free.
I don't want to sound too harsh, because he's a good depth signing, but not really NRL standard, and has been out of favour at the Raiders, making way for our young guns. Pretty sure he's played most of the season in the QLD Cup.
He's got size, so he's handy with high balls in defence and perhaps less so in attack. He is quite slow, much slower than Millard. He turns like the QE2. His defence is fairly good and has a better knack of scoring tries from centre than wing. There is a running joke between Canberra fans that he's never made a linebreak, which isn't quite true, but is firmly based in reality. Tackle breaks are almost as scarce.
Can we send you him and Brett Kelly, as well as Phil Graham (genuine talent, who we unfortunately can no longer afford to keep), in return for Burgess? There are a couple more you can have if need be.'"
Now you have quashed that l await for some more Millard bashing!!!!
l prefer my grapes less sour!!!!
