Pickersgill is decent in attack
Can't play anywhere else in back line only FB. Wasn't effective for Bulls when playing at 6. Weak under the high ball and his defence is questionable.

Re: New signing : Sat Mar 18, 2023 7:07 am  
Gannon & Pickersgill both offer strength in numbers as opposed to where we were this time last week, let's be honest, most folk thought we'd lose last week's cup-tie, we now know we have a potential 2 more cup ties which although aren't season priorities, they're both winnable fixtures and potential earners if we get down to support the lads on the day, so anyone who might be already cup-tied will obviously need to be given those games off, meaning our lads already in the playing squad have more game time to deal with moving forwards, squads with greater numbers can cope AND offer both cover for injuries/suspension , plus competition for places. I don't see much in the way of D/R coming our way since the two lads the other week were announced ( and one subsequently withdrawn ) we look short in the 3/4's with Tibbs' injury after shifting Arundel & Worthington. The biggest plus for me so far this season is the emergence of Tom Inman & his pace, enthusiasm & desire, he definately changes our attacking dynamic off the bench against tired opposition and this then allows Kyle Wood as cover for an emergency half back, and/or Brandon Moore as cover at loose forward ( personally, I'd only spell Brandon as a hooker to preserve his energy ) Other than his size, i don't think we'll miss Ryan King, he was still settling in & needed more time to bed in, Maher looks the same to me, so if we can get just a bit more cover for our props, i'd be more than content with this current squad. We certainly have plenty of local lads wanting to wear the Fax colours right now ;)

I wouldn’t see it playing out like that , if jouffret gets injured, woody drops into 6 like he did for Jamaica in the WC , pickersgill goes to fb , if woody gets injured it’s a like for like swap.

I don’t see it partly like that ( how Ckt2487 ) assessed it either.

In addition to how you explained it providing cover for the back line In this context doesn’t necessarily mean he will be playing in every position himself, but what it allows others to do as you mentioned.

I do agree where his strengths are but that’s the reason why Grix has signed him, he’s here precisely because of his pace and attack.

It’s much easier if a player is a natural fit to the clubs style of play than having to make changes to him so he can fit in.

He reads the attacking game really well, good positional support play naturally coming into the line, good hands to bring in the backs and the speed to finish himself, none of which our previous option steady Joe did.

So even if he doesn’t start in the centres it’s by coming into the line wide out as the extra man with those attributes feeding our quick backs I hope he can light up our 3/4’s like Tom has done down the middle, if he does I see the some points being racked up.

Anyway Brandon don’t forget my commission for saying so.

PS: Woody I’m open to higher offers to say he’s rubbish. :lol:

Like i said before i am happy with Brandon joining the club and the options that gives Simon going forward. Also the impression i get from Simons interviews is this signing isn't in place of brining someone in at centre or in the pack it is as well as. The club is still looking to add players so we have not finished yet.

I honestly thought Brandon had found his level at Bradford and was pretty surprised that Feath came in for him as an aspirant SL side. Can't fault his work ethic though.
