See i don't like the grubby play, the pushing for no reason, aggrevating players, tapping them on the head and laughing when they make a mistake etc I've never liked that, but you can see why people do it to get in the heads of other players.
But apart from that i think he's been superb, proper gem of a signing.

Acceptability definitely depends on the recipient

A great oak has many branches.

That's all very Master Chen Ming Kan....

Up there with fishing trawlers. The fact is if it looks like poo and smells like poo it probably is poo

I think it was in the first sentence of the thread where you said:
"Its been a while since we actually had a decent aussie."

That did suggest you didn't rate Vaughan either.

Exactly, Captain Hook was straight back with Vaughan, not me.
Then it was MD who made it an open 2 Aussie topic “sorry…I meant 2 good Aussies

”
As MD once again turns the topic into a RD bashing and gets plenty likes for posting it.
Just looks for a RD post and unleashes

Great point RD and to be fair, MD accepted he had forgotten about PV.
On the other hand you are the only one that seems to have an issue with our Vaughany!

I have absolutely no dish on his play.
He is one of the best props at Wire since Morley.

My gripe is tongue in cheek and a bit fed up in a mixing bowl.
He has this uncanny luck of playing against poor teams that I would argue help to enhance his stats, and then for getting lengthy bans during school holidays, where the big fixtures are mostly scheduled.

Yes it is all down to unfortunate, but I wish I was as unfortunate at the bookies and lottery.

MONSTER

We were a bit flat today. He sensed that and gee'd us up at key times, came up with a good try and a good shot at the time we needed it. True leadership

Yes, best player on our side by a mile but was also playing the captaincy role in the second half: setting the standard and clearly leading the talk on the field. Fantastic display.

Don’t feed the animals

James Harrison isn't doing a bad job either. We have a pretty good pack this season.

Very glad we beat Leeds to his signature. Very consistent, good in defence, aggressive and a very big attacking threat, something we’ve missed in the back row since Currie’s peak years.

Still don’t know how we did it.
All the media talk was a done deal to Leeds.
I wonder how late we left it to get him signed.
Did Sam have snipe him in Aus?

He also came across very well in post match interview.

Easily our best NRL recruit in along time.

Since Vaughan or better than Vaughan?

Different from Vaughan. Both good. Musgrove is OK and improving steadily. Not much doubt in our best ever Aussie recruit though.

Doubt if most posters on this forum ever saw him play though.

Agreed. I doubt that anyone will ever come close to matching the legendary Roy Asotasi.

Yep I remember standing on the 25 yard line with my Dad ... and he'd say "Give it to Roy"
