The answer to that IMO is YES but I do get the NO. We may not need him now but who knows. However in this case you also get a winger and an emergency stand off, that's a lot of bang for your buck.
The big YES though in my opinion is that we need quality. There is no doubt Stanley was a quality player when he signed for Toronto fo megabucks. If we'd have signed him at the time we'd have wet ourselves. Even now he would count as one of the few genuine NRL quality players we would have at the club. Admittedly that was two years ago and his reputation was built a bit before that but there is no real reason to think he still can't play a bit.
CC says he wants to add quality, well there isn't much of that about, so you take what you can get. He could flop, he could have a blinder, it's always a gamble.
Personally, I can't see it happening, to be honest, I'm not sure there is the will on either side.
