On balance, this seems a good signing.

Positives: A known quantity, not too old, plenty of NRL and SL experience.

Negatives: I don't think we can call his first stint at Trinity a total success. He failed to keep an ageing Finn out and was always picked second to Miller as far as I could tell. I'd call his stint mediocre and I'd say anyone stating otherwise has rose-tinted specs on. He went home for 'personal' reasons, what's changed you have to wonder.

That said he's now older and wiser and this is, without doubt, his last chance to be the main man at either an NRL or SL club.

For a team with few options seeking a player in a position that is currently highly diluted it's hard to think of a better available player.

Time will tell he did kick 4 forty twenties in that season Finn kicked none

Be interesting to know how many he kicked in his time with us. Regardless, it is something that as a team we dont seem to kick too many

there were times though, when he played with Miller as his half back partner and they seemed to have a reasonable understanding. I don't think we saw the best of Sam, but what I did see of him with his limited chances, I liked.

This will depend in some ways, whether George Williams wants to stay at Canberra long term.
Sam is well regarded and I'm sure getting paid well in the second string.
His team are heading for a Grand Final and he's in a country with little issue around Covid so is more confident that the season will actually go ahead.
I'd love him to come but I can't see it.

Whilst he is/may be getting well paid there have been no reserve grade games in Australia this year so all he is doing is training with the odd game first grade game here and there. I'm sure he'd rather be playing every week, so that may just swing it in our favour.

I'm guessing the afore-mentioned "visa issue" isn't an issue after all ??

The government isn't going to deny someone into the country on a 6 figure salary. That's a good amount of tax.

Lol

Started at scrum half on 7 occasions, started at stand off on 12 occasions, didn't play on 4 occasions and started from the bench on 3 occasions.

Two things.

My point is valid if you don't like it so what.

Secondly, who is that in your Avatar, because If it's who I think it is you're bang out of order. I await an explanation.

It is who you think it is FMC and I agree but he seems to get away with it.

How is your point valid?

Round 1 to round 5 Sam started at 7 with Miller at 6
Round 6 to round Sam started at 6 with Finn at 7
Round 9 Sam started at 7 with Miller at 6
Round 10-13 Sam either didn’t play or was on the bench
In the cup against Dewsbury Sam started at 6 with Finn at 7
Round 14-16 Sam either didn’t play or was on the bench
Round 17 to 23 including a Challenge Cup QF Sam started at 6 with Finn at 7

It's Jarrad Hickey, why?

It is now, it wasn`t before though was it?

i am interested to find out as well

Previously was the photo of the 1908 Trinity side, famously stating T' DREADNOWTS IS COMIN.

It is now.

I intend to complain to PT and get you banned permanently, you are a total low life.

Sorry but it's not funny.

It's someone who posts on here. Considering some of the nutters on here showing anyone's image is diabolical and he should be banned. Would you like it? It's against the AUP's.

I've no idea what you are trying to say.

According to League Express he's played 49 games in last 4 years so he should have plenty in the tank sir!

Yes, you do you lying toad and I took a screenshot as proof you pathetic gutless prat. You superimposed a known posters face on your previous avatar, putting them at risk and breaking the AUP's and I'm sure that will be recorded in the record as it happened only a few hours ago. You are an utter scumbag.

Hahahahaha

Think we better just put each other on ignore fella.

Anyway, regardless of the garbage above, am looking forward to Sam coming and hope he gives a good showing for us.

I think it would be a good signing, we know the type of player he is, he wont set the world alight but he can organise a team, has a good kicking game and knows how to pick a pass - I also think that this time around he could pick up some good form (I seem to remember him been played as an interchange hooker at one point in 2017) so ensuring that we give him the reins at 7

I think we will see the best of him. Although all this said, I have heard that there is another SL team in for him so it is not a given we will see him here next season.

Who else is interested?

Heard he was talking to Salford but I also heard Leigh were talking to his agent, that was around a month back though, they were also looking at Kelly I believe so look to be throwing some money around again.
