I'm not sure leadership is a quality I'd associate with Proctor, certainly off the pitch. I watch alot of the NRL and he has neen absolutely terrible since the last few years a real lack of effort when on the pitch. May do better in SL, but I'd be really concerned about this signing particularly at 34 on a 2 year deal.



I don't see the Westerman comparison either, he was excellent for Hull before he signed for Wakey, it was a mistake not to keep him.

I may be wrong but he will be the most decorated player in SL next season if true.



Class is permanent, if he wants to play he will be sensational.

Thanks for your concern, if you are as accurate as you've been in the past, and let's face it you have a downer on almost every player we sign, I expect us to win SL with Proctor MOS.



Because Westerman had a bad off field reputation, certainly in the Wakefield area, some fair, some not. Due to this IMHO he never got close to reaching his true potential with any of the clubs he played for.



Yet as if to prove my point, he did ok for us, so why not Proctor, oh that's right it's not Hull





TBH, I'm not sure it's anything other than a made up story, but I wouldn't mind it being true.

I agree.

He has more test caps than both Solomona and Lauiti'iti and has won a four nations and a Grand Final.

He's not young but he's the same age Ali was when he came.

What are you talking about, which Wakey signings have I had a downer on?



If you are happy, fair enough, let's see how he goes, but this reminds me of us signing Josh Reynolds.

You can't compare how different players react with different teams.

We are far more used to dealing with the too old, or too young, or bad rep players than most clubs and have had a lot of success with them.

Well said you old drama queen, oh no that's me

You've don it a few times but tbf, normally your ex players, nearly all of who have been excellent despite your foreboding.



How you can judge how Proctor will do is beyond me, but to compare him to Reynolds is frankly absurd.



300 NRL games and 22 caps.



You may as well compare Rommel to Captain Mainwaring

That's a fair point, but when giving an opinion on a player you can only go on what they have and haven't done and Proctor has been awful on and off the field the last few years.

Alas that's where we shop.

But sometimes it works.

Good player, he can play, whether he wants to or not is another question....

20+ years in SL it must work.



That said Proctor is not in that group IMHO.



If you take away the two silly incidents, he's got a superb playing record, way beyond any of, for example, Hulls current overseas players.



On this one the personality and the player need separating. Even at 34 he's a no brainer for a squad like ours. Easily the best NRL player (reputation wise) to join SL for a while, if true. It's up to Mash if he thinks the blokes attitude is right.
