To be honest i’d have thought the biggest risk is whether he qualifies for a visa given his lack of first team games over recent times.

Unfortunately that’s how things go from time to time alegend ,we’ve never been in a position to outbid our competitors, but fingers crossed this time as there only seems to be a couple of teams left with any space left , so it puts the odds more in our favour than a month or so ago .I’m sure if or when the ink is dried on the contract we will get an announcement from the club, that’s if it isn’t just another players looking to enhance his position in Aus .

Hope you right Kettykat but we do miss out a lot Sound a fair replacement for Dave

He’ll be a good addition ease him into the squad.
If he’s been anywhere near the roosters setup he’ll be able to play super league.

Right size, weight and age but at 27 he hasn’t secured more than a handful of 1st grade appearances and is coming off major shoulder surgery. He might be a great signing, maybe now is his time and he’s ready to take a lifeline over here but he’s a risk

Like Davis Fifita then?

Agree, but then he's the same age as Fifita was when he signed and Dave had only played sixteen first grade games for Cronulla.

IF Atoni has signed let's hope he turns out to be a similar 'risk'.

They are all risks physically. Mentality wise, that's a coaches call.
