    id only be real mad if we spent a fortune on him, give his situation and his late signing im hoping we picked him up on the cheap on a gamble and given our either lack or green x factor out wide i dont blame them too much

    @Kiwiwomble would have much preferred they gambled on someone who at least had a chance to show something.

    Everyone knew it was a shit signing, everyone pointed and laughed... except those in charge at the Highlanders.

    Heck even getting a loan of Jonah Lowe would have been better.

    @Bones you honestly believe they signed him knowing full well there was zero change he would make it onto the field?

    just managed to actually read the article, so he is back to full contact training but he need to prove hes good enough to take someones jersey...its not like he's picked up a new injury (yet)

    @Kiwiwomble I hope they signed him thinking there was every chance he'd hardly even make the field and really wouldn't add much if he did.

    If everyone else can see it, how moronic would they have to be to not see it? The kind of moronic which doesn't select Walden and thinks Ioane is a 12.

    I'm not sure what part of perfect English you're struggling with...

    "I hope they signed him" - self explanatory
    "thinking there was every chance" - intent in the coaches mind
    " he'd hardly even make the field and really wouldn't add much if he did" - he wouldn't do much

    Replace thinking with understanding then.

    @Bones is that better? you wanted them to sign him in the full understanding he wouldn't contribute much?

    you might have expected it if you had a low opinion of the coaches but to hope they did it?

    Jesus wept, are you blind to the words "there was every chance"?
