There's undoubtedly bargains and gems knocking about in the championship. Walmsley, Hill and McGilvary are proof of this, I am worried though about this signing, as to why he isn't challenging Murphy and McGilvary for the wing spots at Huddersfield. They're both good players, but do we really want a 4th choice winger brought in?

That's how far we've gone back mate. (The new bulls)

Re: Matt Dawson : Wed Jun 05, 2013 11:36 am  

If he has pace, then he is already a step up for Ade "New 2 Year Deal" Gardner.

Re: Matt Dawson : Wed Jun 05, 2013 11:44 am  

He sounds like a squad signing to fill the gap left by Meli. It just means we have more cash for a stand-off or prop. Our last speculator (Walmsley) is going pretty well so why not try someone else out.

I suspect that Gardner works cheap so giving him a new deal is not too bad. I would hope that he can prove his fitness first.

In hindsight, I'd have taken some of the players Bradford did. The likes of Sidlow and Chev Walker show a bit of heart at least, and are a huge improvement on Perry and Laffranchi.

not heard anything about you signing him but makes sense as he is out of contact at the end of the season... and he is behind murphy and mcgillvary... he managed to get ahead of luke george.

never really had a good run of games with us but not let us down when he has played, has put on alot of size last few seasons and runs the ball back strong.

was well thought of when we signed him from cas but got a bad injury.

think we are offloading dawson and george so we can get jodie broughton

Broughton signed for you a few weeks back.

Re: Matt Dawson : Wed Jun 05, 2013 1:33 pm  

Where we ever actually in for Broughton? Or is too big a signing for us?

Re: Matt Dawson : Wed Jun 05, 2013 1:44 pm  

It makes sense though, it sounds like he was a Brown signing for Hudds, but has struggled with injury. Brown has obviously seen something in him to sign him twice.

As others have said, if he's big, reasonably fast and has a least a modicum of either sense or co-ordination, then he'll be an improvment on Ade Gardner.

If we were looking to allocate a big chunk of cap to a winger when there are such glaring deficiencies in more pivotal positions, I'd be very concerned.
