Considering he'll likely miss the 22 most weeks I don't think he's the worst signing ever.

Yep I heard he is so good no New Zealand side wanted him....sounds like a superstar to me.

Yet everyone was astonished that he wasn't picked up by an NZ side. Time will tell who is right and wrong.

Have you ever seen him play?
en_for_cer, I just don't get the Sidey signing. Has he ever done anything outside of dropping Ndungane on his head?

And we remember what happened last time they came out with this rubbish:

I watched the Wellington game last night and Woodward looked impressive. He has explosive speed and can break a tackle. He made a number of breaks including one from his own 22 which saw him gain 50 or 55 metres in the second minute of the game. The try he scored he received a pass 22 metres out cut back inside to find a hole broke a tackle and scored. He kicked a couple of conversions from wide out as well. I know there is a step up from ITM Cup to Super Rugby but he looked promising. Scott Fugilstaller came on at the start of the second half he did a couple of nice things but wasn't overly involved.

Anyone who thinks that is clearly not familiar with Australia's rugby problem which is a lack of a professional rugby contracts.

If I remember correctly, no-one wanted Radike Samo three years ago either. Sometimes players slip through the cracks or just need to find the right organisation.
Edit: Or perhaps more relevantly, Mike Harris.

I love the way Kiwi's dump on the Rebels yet only one of there 4 teams that have come to Melbourne and left with a win. They are really blind sighted and it's laughable. When we beat the Chiefs and Highlanders in Melbourne this year we will have defeated all the NZ teams at home.
He is a good signing looking at the way he played, I thought the way he stepped through tackles was very impressive. He was playing on the wing yesterday so he can play across most of the back line which is help full.

Greatest backroom admin signing in the history of Oz rugby. Any club would be proud to have him speak on their behalf.
Hyperbole much? Yes indeedy.

A good squad although perhaps a little thin in props and wingers.

For wingers we're looking at what - Vuna, Mitchell, Woodward, Situati, Rokobaro, Kingi at a stretch, JOC (James O'Connor) if he has to? It's not that bad - although I would like to have seen an out-and-out pace merchant on the list somewhere. Props I definitely agree with. Think the main deal this year is going to be getting the correct team balance.
