possibly the worst overseas signing in history. He's so poor I'm not even convinced he ever played RL before he arrived at Hull. I'm sure someone called Lauaki did but not this geezer. Terrible player absolutely terrible, I'd actually prefer we kept Hickey at least he gives away less penalties.'"
Signed for Wigan apparently, got bags of potential but he will be one hell of a project without any doubt. One thing is for sure though he is not the penalty machine he has the reputation for being.
The main challenge in relation to overseas players is the increase in the cap in Australia which will see average players able to command higher wages in the NRL, which will obviously have a knock on effect on their wage demands in the UK.
Coaches I feel need to really concentrate on developing players in house, and only recruit quality players to compliment them from overseas.
The Crusaders decision to fold does provide the opportunity to recruit a few good players that would help Trinity in the short term.
