What's going to happen when he gets here then? Will it be a rotation of the halves between Horne, Holdsworth and Miller?

I can't see PG slotting Miller straight into the starting line-up, especially with Horne in top form at the moment.
Perhaps he'll just get slowly eased into a few games this season, to give him a bit of confidence an a chance to settle ahead of next year.

Just know what a few of our fans are like, they'll be on his back straight from his first mistake. I can almost hear them now.

He was quoting McRae who said the Jacob rumours were wide of the mark and that we were well down the road with to other halfback enquiries, all Australian. Think McRae was getting twitchy that someone else might come in at last minute

Great signing, young kid with promise and natural talent. Credit to gentle and macrae for pulling this off. Luckily richard horne has really come into form this season so no rush on the visa or dropping him straight in the 17 as soon as he lands.

7 years!! Dykes, head, thorman.....finally we have got there. Scott prince who are you!!

Chuffed to bits with this. Just a couple more pieces to the puzzle and we should be real contenders for silverware in the near future.

Great signing , young and everything to prove. On the bench against KR if Whiting doesn't recover.

True but Bomber is the offical face of HFC so he's going to say that. What's Smailes excuse.

Maybe he would have been here for months if we hadn't got caught up in the games being played by Prince and his agent?

Great news though. It gives us three good half backs now.

Totally agree with this. It's a big ask moving halfway around the world whatever your age but maybe more so for the younger ones. Thankfully with Horney in such scintillating form at the moment the club won't have to rush Miller into the team and can just ease him in gently. The Faithful need to be patient though and give him time as well.

Looking forward to seeing him in Fc shirt, going to have to major impress in training to get in the team at this moment but a good signing.

Welcome Jacob.

Who is this kid ?

I think Colin Best was of a similar age and it was probably the best thing to happen to him in terms of career development. So lets hope for the same for this kid and as people have said "patience."

If you read back through Smailes tweets on the subject, I'd say he gave a pretty acurate picture of how things have unfolded, Smailes has a good working relationship with FC and I think he would prefer to keep it that way, his interviews with players and staff in the HDM provide plenty of column inches and sell plenty of papers. Doubt his editor would be pleased if he went for a one off scoop and soured that relationship (remember we banned Blunderside for quite a long period) if he was working for a National paper it would be different.

Anyway back to the good news (subject to Visa)

"IT'S MILLER TIME"

biggest question is surely what are we going to sing to him?

something to Michael Jacksons thriller would rhyme nicely =P

Timely boost-tastic news.

Good signing, hard to see where he fits into the 17 at the moment but that's a much nicer problem to have than deciding who to pick at 7, and looking forward to seeing him play.



I'm pretty sure Smailes said when that Moley was saying it was all signed that he expected him to sign but nothing was finalised yet, which appears to be the case with him being confirmed today.

Going by what James Smailes has said, it seems we'd already signed him for next year anyway, and the reason it wasn't announced was because Miller was seeking a release to try and get here this season. Which has now happened.

On a separate note, what the **** is Potter doing at Wests? He's released there highly regarded young 7 (Wests fans are furious) and now he's benched Benji!

Clueless, and it will be the English game getting the blame in Oz too!

You sir are a genius!

Dont be daft. It will be the standard "Only one Jacob Miller"..........

Excellent news.
Young, bags of potential and could form the backbone of our team for years to come if he settles and all goes well.
Our squad is really starting to look the part now, injuries permitting.

Surely it's got to to be 'Miller Time'

Got to be, wouldn't seem right hearing anything different.
