Roosters Sign Catalans Winger Damien Blanch

[Guest]

Surely he'll be at Newtown very strange signing I could understand if he where young but a 30 year old winger doesn't make sense plus we have Oldfield for back up and Moga.

Macca's has 30c cones in Lithgow..

How much are their cruisers? And do they have roofs that you can sit on?

Anywho this Blanch guy seems like a good finisher.

Yeah that's what I read too.

I remember we once signed a 30 year old winger that everyone questioned.

I think he was called Brett something.

Cowboys?

i hope noone ie trying to compare a short slow superleague player to one of the best finishers the game has seen????

[Hawkeye]

He could do with a decent hairdresser ?
If those are his highlights, I wouldn't expect to see to much of him in first grade. When he was out in the open he got caught from behind a few times, and most of the tries he did score, he pretty much just had to put the ball over the line .... sh!t I could've scored most of those tries ... and Im short fat and slow !

Backup only, hope he enjoys wearing blue ?

Nothing special

Seems pretty slow if anything.

For highlights I'm expecting 80m tries, spectacular line breaks, kris kross style jumps...etc.

All I saw was:
- He caught a cut-out pass where there was a massive overlap and scored (just.)
- Attempted a Campo style goose-step 15m away from a defender then got hammered.
- Got a few easy try linebreaks but didn't score because everybody caught him.

Can't say I understand this signing! He's no RTS/Tupou...

Edit: And the music is REALLY annoying!!! Why do people put loud music on top of footy videos? *Usually music that involves some wannabe crack head rambling on about $hit, with an annoying repetitive tune/sounds of guns cocking in the background*

[Tom Verlaine's Ghost]

Why does every rugby league highlight video use this music?

Exactly. It's always some crap music. It's the same on TV -- every bit of league footage they show has to feature some type of screaming racket.

he might get a run with newtown or maybe clovelly a grade?
