Just watched clips of him on u tube actually looks an exciting prospect mr sandercock don't mess about does he.

yeah young too and........... english passport i can hear the grumbling already

......."disgrace to the British game, blah, blah".

If u get chance to view it his turn of pace is really Sumet else and I wonder if his father is Irish with a name like that let's hope that Craig has a forward in mind to.

Are you looking at the right one?

The one we're in for seems to have spent all year at The Knights feeder club, Central Coast Centurions, playing in the NSW Cup. Where, as an interesting aside, I found our old friend Butch Mavis playing for the Windsor Wolves, he'll come good yet. Good project that lad...

An overseas player has to make way surley.

Fisher, Newton and Vella ( 2 of which didn't count on quota or non fed) leave and it looks like 4 coming in, that gives you one more overseas player than this season and 11 in your squad.

Clinton out or maybe one of Withers/Paea not coming.

Something like that he was in the Irish world cup squad the other year but I think Pat Richards was infront of him or he was injured or something.

I've just watched a compilation of his trys on youtube and you are right ginge, he does look to have real pace and some fantastic footwork to boot, looks star quality.

McDonnall has a UK passport so will be Non-Fed but not Quota.

just watched the you tube clips defence looks good and attack looks even better just what we need because as much as i liked briscoe he offered nothing in attack really

I saw the same clips of him looks decent good pace welcome to hull kr

Are we talking about the clips of him playing for Wests, five years ago?

Withers and o hara dont count as celtic players are extempt from quotas R.L ruling

if you watch all the clips hes also playing for Newcastle

Withers is now confirmed

not surprising really as his preferred position is full back he was behind aussie test player kurt gidley in the pecking order, doesn't make him a bad player just as dobson was only a reserve at canberra behind campese and carney or blake green behind ben roberts and brett kimmorley at the bulldogs.

Oh, I agree, I think find of the year has been Scott Dureau and he was at the Centurions last year, I just feel people are getting potentially a little carried away.

Its our job to big up anything we do and belittle all that everone else does.

Good signing, But! why? we had a good fullback we did not need to let go, we have signed Missi Talapua (spelling?) & have a good young prospect of our own & the new man is supposed to be good with young players. Would a big hard prop around 30 years of age (a type in the mould of O Mealy at FC) to bring leadership & teach the lads coming through how to perform at the top level be a better use of money? But as usual I will trust the coach he knows the guy.

Yeah luk on hull daily mail website sum one has linked the u tube clip of him

Made his debut in his teens in 2005 and is a former junior kangaroo, but now 24 and just 61 first grade games in total. Doesn't mean that he's not a good player, but maybe needs to come over here to get games. Best case it turns out like Blake Green.
Pleased he's versatile - it means he's not a wasted signing if Sheriff kicks on quickly (as S Briscoe might have been). But even with a UK passport, he'll still be non-fed, so I assume we're losing Clinton. We really need Paea, O'Hara and our Knights players to go well if we're to be competitive.

Shannon is too small for the NRL.
He is very good at backing up in attack, but sometimes he literally looks like he is going to himself when a big unit runs at him.

He can play wing at a pinch, but really he is best at fullback.

Is he more of a support player than a creative ball-playing full back then, which seems to be vogue in Super League at the minute?
From the short clips ive seen on the internet he seems a useful player but i guess they dont usually put knock ons and missed tackles on highlight videos!

Yes.
Very good support player and gap runner from fullback. Scores his fair share of tries, and his cover defence is very good, just doesn't look good when the big guys run straight at him.

Maybe he doesn't fancy a nose like Brisc's
