If it's the right signing it's worth the wait. Whether it will be or not remains to be seen of course, but a good few years back now Sheffield signed Kevin Bolibruck a couple of weeks into the season and he was the best player in the league. Totally agree but there is a huge risk to leaving it that late. If the results don't go our way at the beginning of the season fans will be going crazy asking where the signing is and if it comes to the end of the season and we are say 4 points away, a signing may have made the difference. I know it's a little dramatic but you get the jist. It's not dramatic at all. It's realistic. We've had some real tight title battles over the years. It's a good point.

You mean Sheffield and Cardiff have Nate We've never been there ! 😩 Lol It's a good point though,every point counts sometimes.

Mmmmm, Well i guess if you wanted to go back 14 years to the last time we finished 2nd in the league in 2003/4 then you might have a point........But we were 17 points behind Steelers. Lol Wow I just looked back through all the arena years and Panthers league record is absolutely and truly abysmal !

Haha you're nearly as sarcastic as me ! Lol We are talking close finishes here and odd points being crucial. Finishing second 17 points behind the winners it's not even remotely close. 😩

So Wednesday has nearly come and gone. Do we have a signing? Also where is Brown. Not seen or heard a peep?

Corey waiting for the 'right man' isn't the right man if he's waiting around for too long - doesn't matter who he is.
MacDonald & Quick were heralded as the 'right men' Corey had been waiting 4 months for... they were both very good, but ultimately they were the wrong men for a league championship.
Hopefully we'll get someone announced soon but it'll be September earliest once his visa's come in and flights get made.

Why can't Neilson ever complete his signings to time for pre season? Every year there's always 1 player which is left to sign and by the time he arrives training camp is done and the regular season is a week old !! Is the man real ? That's why I will always question how serious they are regarding league challenges

The only silver lining i can take from this. Is that i hope its an indication of a really high quality player, since we're struggling to get the deal over the line.

one player doesn't make a team He does if that player is theo fleury... Trevor Gallant took a pretty average attack and turned that into something special too - not quite Fleury though.

Signing announcement at 6pm Interestingly the tweet says Latest, not last or final. Maybe reading too much into it, maybe there is more than one to come as implied by Simms a few weeks back.
