From the little bits I’ve seen of Baptiste it’s no great loss but just my opinion.

We've signed a UK BASED winger.

Please tell

Shouldn't be too hard to create a shortlist if we can infer that he isn't UK born?

If you know who it is, but can't say, can you say whether you're happy / think they're a good signing?

Michaels?

Joel coming back?

Carney?

Very underwhelmed to be honest given our transfer business so far. Hadn't even heard of him until i searched for him.

Michaels went back to Straya two weeks ago, was arrested at the gate

A winger from the Championship then.

Is it that Matty Russell fella or that Lineham bloke? I’d be underwhelmed if it was either, although I have heard of them a bit despite them being anonymous most of last season



I jest. Clean slate n all.

I believe he's talking about Mitch Brown from Leigh.

I heard the same.
Can't say I'm overwhelmed.

Just confirmed now - and I have to agree. I then thought maybe he was young and one for the future, but then I wiki'd him.

Still, will reserve judgement until Feb.

So we go from being in for Charnley then Mcgillvery to this. Price out lol.

30 years of age
26 apperances 8 try's

Id rather have given Pomeroy another yesr.

I'd still put him straight in over Russell

He's known to Price from their time together at Cronulla Sharks so I assume Price knows what he wants and has gone out and got him!

Let's give the guy a chance eh??

squad player...bit of a dive in terms of quality compared to who we have signed previously fro next year....time will tell I guess.

Same to be honest and I've never seen him.

He played against us in the qualifiers IIRC

Rhinos fan in peace here.
But I see plenty on here do not rate Matty Russell and you guys know more about him than I do.
But whenever I have seen him play he has always looked reasonably good.
I won`t say a world beater by any stretch of the imagination.
But he doesn`t come across as half as bad as you guys make out when I`ve seen him.

Matty is a decent player, but his positioning and defensive play is expsoed when playing on the wing.

He was brought here as a full back. When he got clattered it affected him big time, seemed scared to go near a high ball. Ends up on the wing, as a good initial burst but not a length of field man and just became a scooter to spell the forwards.

At 1m 88cm he is certainly quite a bit taller than Matty Russell. I think Steve Price realises he has to fix the soft underbelly on our edges. Hopefully he wont be part of the sprint out of the defensive line brigade. Probably wont get out jumped to many time also.
