Bit of a strange one if he genuinely wasn't offered a contract (rather than just being asked to take a pay cut). He'll rank as one of our best signings in the last 10 years, and as he'll be 33 in

Wow this is one that has split the fan base. On paper it doesn’t look like a signing that is going to set the world alight and he’s older than the kind of signing that I thought we would be trying to

I wouldn’t call the likes of Aekins, Mininkin, Gale, Lacans, Reynolds, Springer, Jones, Addy etc scraps. These are all quality players.  Plus there’s over 4 months until the first match. People need t

Canterbury's NSW Cup (reserves) player of the year last year.

"Averaging an impressive 137 running metres per game, Jayden is a reliable and consistent player in the team, not afraid to do the hard yards. His work ethic is his biggest strength, as seen through his huge efforts in always making the top tackle count.

It is no surprise that he has been recognised with this Award, which is a testament to his exceptional skill and hard work."

"I won’t engage in a debate because the above is correct and if anything else is stated to the contrary it’s incorrect."

Hopefully it gets across as really we only have gadwin who is a powerful middle the rest are grafters 

wonder what it means for Albert as there’s been no mention if he’s even in the country yet and if he’s anything like Yei he won’t be fit 

I would like to see is sign another half and then maybe look to Hull kr if we get injury’s

Very brief highlights reel from Twitter

The usual disclaimers about highlight reels apply of course (what's known as the Verlinden rule). To me from what I've seen and read he looks more of an all-round grafter (big tackle numbers, lots of carries) than an explosive impact player but I'd take another Lockwood over a Verlinden any day.

Endorsed via Instagram by one of his former team mates last year...Nu Brown:
"That’s a great signing! The club will be in good hands now. So happy for you brother @jaydentanner"

Still no mention on Albert who was due in the country in a few weeks before the dewsbury game, also on no update about yei 

Yei is the country, probably just not fit enough to be in the squad as yet. Still quite a long time until the season starts, and it’s a long season,  so maybe these players will be fresher at the back end of the season.

I'm assuming you mean ready for when the league season starts, as we've already played two competitive fixtures and have a third this weekend. 😉

Regarding the signing of Tanner, in general terms this sort of recruitment makes quite a lot of sense now, especially with the easing of the visa requirements allowing more access to tier 2 Australian players. I think we pretty much realise we won't be in SL next year (or probably any time soon) and a player like this is less likely to be poached by a SL club  - unless he turns out to be an absolute standout, SL starter-level player - because SL clubs are restricted to 7 non-Fed developed players and so they are looking for every-week starters as their overseas players.

As an aside, Wakefield I believe are already at 7 non-Fed trained players, and might add more as the season goes on, so there might be some more Caleb Aekins-type releases at the end of 2024 if, as widely expected, they are back in SL.
