I think history shows that there's a lot of risk attached to a big name overseas prop. Maybe it applies to overseas players in all positions who are in the latter stages of their careers. But off the top of my head the list below were big names in the NRL and none did particularly well.
Sio Taukeiaho
Rhys Kennedy
George Burgess
Zane Tetevano
Frank Pritchard
Stephen Kearney
Frank-Paul Nu'uausala
Feels like a better route is youth development or untapped Championship talent (aka Walmsley/Hill).
Yes very good point. Add Ben Cross to that list too (not a big big name but came over as with a fairly high profile). Eastwood was another with a good reputation and he was a disgrace.
