Antonio has just signed a 3 year deal with the Cowboys. Reports say he was unwanted by the Storm.

Now why did we not make a play for him instead of Armit??? I know we should be in the hunt for outside backs, but why sign Armit if there was a prop of Kaufusi's stature on the market???

My guess is that the Cowboys had more room left under the cap than we did, and/or that Kaufusi had already made a decision to return to Queensland.

The fact that he is an international player and would probably command upwards of 200,000. Have we actually confirmed the signing of Armit?

Firstly because we dont really need to go hard in the market for props and secondly because he would cost about $150k more than Armit. Is that a good enough reason for you. **** me!!!

Also, Armit is still not a confirmed signing. Nothing has come from the club or the media about him. In the RLW there is an article on Peek which mentions that his manager is still talking to clubs including the sharks.

I would rather we hang on to Peek for another season than sign Armit, if it's not already a done deal.
