Quote ="daveyz999"Just wanted to add the late Terry Newton to the list of stars signed by the bulls in recent years. Highly regarded as one of the best SL hookers at the time a signed him.'"
Newton was a good servant for us but was past his best and mired in controversy. Wigan could have signed him but instead preferred Higham. But on the point we're discussing, "one of the best SL hookers" is damning with a bit of faint praise, isn't it? He would at that stage of his career have got nowhere near any NRL team, for instance. But anyway I really don't see though how you can class signing a player who can't even play for you for another 6 months due to being banned, as "attracting the top players". "Taking a punt" would be nearer the mark.
