Happy with that signing. Welcome aboard J W.

Really happy with this signing. Truth is this year he has struggled with an injury but all players get injured at one point, i mean Cunningham throughout his career got injured a fair amount.
He is skillfull, fast and knows how to use his winger, also his defense is spot on. On Friday against Catalans his defense was shakey but the weather conditions were awful. 2 real centres finally. Evans and Shenton were last time we had 2 real centres. I think Arundal will not be missed at all, not strong enough or fast enough and his ball playing skills werent there.

He might be, but he's better than what we have at the moment!

He'll do a good job for you, he's been unfortunate over the last couple od seasons, he had a niggly hip that eventually required surgery last year but at twenty eight his luck could turn.

Although he does go down injured a lot, he's actually made a hundred appearances in four and a half years, so not that bad really.

Been a good player for us, he is a brute when on form. He is injury prone and even the slightest knock seems to affect him adversely. If you can keep him fit, you have a cracking player.

Joe who???

Re: Jake Webster confirmed : Wed Jun 27, 2012 12:43 pm  

General consensus seems to be that Webster is a decent player if he remains fit.

Lets not forget that he is being brought in to replace a player in Joe Arundel who has spent most of this season out injured and is showing no sign of any imminent return.

Whilst Arundel may become a better player in the future, on current form I'd put Webster some way ahead of him.

As said IF he can stay injury free should be a good signing.
