1 month loan deal, confirmed on his Twitter.

Good signing, means Tansey can continue at FB too.

He's a great player with a developing attacking brain. Had a loan spell at Widnes last season, played at 6 and helped them beat Wigan. Notice he went AFTER we played you! Finally, he can kick a goal from pretty much anywhere. Should do well for you with Chase out for the next two matches.

Re: Gareth O'Brien : Wed Feb 13, 2013 6:57 pm  

Wonder if he'll get the goal kicking duties instead of Ellis (that's if we score a try )

Very happy about this! At last common sense from the club.

We will still have him after Rangi has served his ban. Options at halfback

Re: Gareth O'Brien : Wed Feb 13, 2013 7:22 pm  

Happy with this.

Re: Gareth O'Brien : Wed Feb 13, 2013 7:53 pm  

Pleased with this,we have acted fast to the Chase ban and O'brien sounds a useful player.

Goes to show the different mentality at the boardroom now.

O'Brien is a superb young player.
Wire are working on him to become Briers successor.

A few of you may remember one of his early first team appearances, he ripped you apart.

Hardly a massive achievement given our record over the past 12 months+.

Oh, and the fact he had good players around him. I'd rather judge him in a weak side where there's more pressure on him to perform.
