      Good stuff
      I see him as a Craig Wing type player.

          Great to have him on board again.

            i don't have my finger on the pulse of who's worth what but doesn't sound like we're paying overs and if he plays well he might find offers of 450k a year so he won't have lost by not staying with the knights.
            adam o'brien will be regretting the luck of the roosters and knights sharing the same hotel.

              300k a year woah that's alot less than what I expected. I thought he'd be 400 min.

                  He always added spark when he came on for us. He was a hit at the Knights too. Takes Lam's place?

                    I think he’ll be the Liu replacement rather than the Lam replacement.

                      This is a tremendous signing in the V'landys touch footy era.

                      In today's game you only need 3 props plus your two wingers. Even more so for us with Teddy as the extra metre eater.

                      I can foresee a forward rotation consisting of 3 boppers plus a bunch of ultra mobile and versatile forwards.

                      8. JWH
                      9. Verrills
                      10. Lindsay
                      11. Angus
                      12. Tupouniua
                      13. Radley

                      14. SST
                      15. Nat Butcher
                      16. Egan Butcher
                      17. Watson

                      18. Baker
                      19. Atoni

                      As always, injury permitting, that's as good as anything in the comp. Love the speed and mobility of that pack. And with a back 3 of Teddy, Toops and Suaalii that's a team built to dominate the National 6-again League.

                      Which probably means after a dominant start to the 2022 season V'landys will can the 6-again rule a day before rnd 16.

                        So apparently taking unders in order to progress your career and potentially winning a comp. Smart move for both sides. Basically Craig Wing without a kicking game. V'Landy-league suits his high energy style of play. Welcome home Connor.

                          I believe he wanted to come home, he missed Robbo and the boys. Great news anyway. Welcome home Wato.

                            Finally some great news on the signing front...i suggested this signing over a month ago well before i knew of any Roosters interest....there was only a few who agreed with it like Spirit 66 for example.

                            Perfectly suited to PVL flopball / touch football....can play anywhere so the perfect number 14. I like the interchange idea with Sam V at hooker or maybe lock since Radley is missing half the season under PVL flopball rules.

                            Has been one of Spooncastles best all yr, adds enthusiasm and energy when he gets on the field.

                              Back in 2017 when he was granted a release from Chook he knocked back a 3 year 500k a year offer from Tiger to sign with Knight for less

                              So money isn't his motivation as Tiger was offering something similar this time as well as they saw him as a replacement for Mbye who is off to Dragon in 2022 after being granted a release from the final year of his 800k a year contract

                                A bench of say 2 props of the agile variety and 1 utility forward and 1 utility back makes sense rather than having say a winger and a third prop on the bench - utilities should be able to cover most of the positions they are a utility for
