Ben Cross should be a good signing and you shouldn't be disappointed if he does arrive. A few years ago (2006-2008) he was one of the better props in the NRL. He missed most of 2009 with serious injury and has a slow return over this season.
As someone else already said, he is a no-nonsense prop who is a powerful ball runner and solid in defence. He doesn't play long minutes but he makes good metres per run and he used to be a strong offloader. He does however have a tendency to give away bad penalties that detract from his other work, although he cleaned up his act a fair bit this year.
If he continues with the same form as this year, he should be a good signing and provide some extra muscle to the pack. However, if it turns out that this year was just a slow return from injury and he manages to get back to anywhere near his form of a few years ago, he should be an excellent addition.
