What is it with us - do we have to sign someone with a buggered knee every time?

Yes, that was not lost on me either!

Throw in the AIs and VI Nations, if he is fit and that is another 10 weeks that he will not be available. Still, as someone has already reminded me, could be a good opportunity for Jacob.

A good signing, as he is likely to be cheaper than some other options, and is already a top operator. That said, nobody knows exactly how much we have signed him for, I am only guessing given his age and country of origin.

I guess Miller/Umaga to back up.

Welcome either way, we certainly needed a signing here.
