That post is still on this page Why new article on same point?

From what I have seen he’s not as good as Newton but better than Rinaldi and prob Godwin! I am not 100% but think he’s been a starter this year, but wasn’t in NRL Premiership winning side!

As have said before it’s hard to tell how good an import well be! Players like Chase, Luke Dorn & Chad Randall for example where average in Australia yet have been brilliant here! Whereas the likes of Matt King who was a star in NRL yet has been average over here!

Heath is an exceptional ball player who is well known for his determination, power plays and agility in the forward pack as well as his ability to direct the ball around the park.

Heath signed with the Manly Sea Eagles in season 2008, joining one of the most powerful forward packs in the NRL. He secured himself a regular starting position for the team and was involved in their NRL Premiership and World Club Challenge wins.

Considering that this time last year everyone was calling for Newton to be dropped because he was overweight and too slow I really can't understand why everyone is now crying about him leaving.

Don't get me wrong he is a very good player and is still a top hooker but his only been motivated to shed the excess 12 pounds of fat due to this year being his final year on contract and he's after a bumper deal from next year.

Good luck to him and Wakefield but I honestly think some Bulls fans will moan about anything. There are far more important things to worry about in relation to the Bulls than Terry Newton.

To judge a player until he comes and plays a few games for us. Remember a certain Ian Henderson, 3rd chocie hooker at Parrmatta, was outstanding for us.
