Gambled on a big name big money signing and it didnt work out. If it had, it was genius move.

Never nice to see someone bow out injured but the quicker this waste is gone the better.

Thanks for the memor.... oh never mind. Laters Josh!

So next year we will game on sub level players like Dawson, Carlisle and Beaumont.

We will probably get those 3 on less money combined than Perry was on...if we can get 1 good player out of the 3 it will be a step up on the money squandered on Perry

So what? They're all terrible players.

If we do then at least cover and potential is there compared to this season where the hopes lay on Walker and Walmsley and backrowers playing up front. Perry going down has pushed a nail through the heart of our pack.

Im happier to take a gamble on youth, like wakeysaint said, if we can get 3 forwards with potential for the same price as 1 then that's the way it'll be.

I hope we bid for Micky Paea but i can't see it happening. Masoe would be a coup but that is a long shot too.

How do you know they are terrible? Have you watched them play enough to form that opinion?

Beaumont was meant to be a very good prospect for Hull KR and possibly England before his injuries, if he can stay injury free then who knows.

Carlisle looks like a decent player, not another Roby, but an improvement on Howarth as a back up hooker imo and is a cheaper option than Hohaia (if reports are true that we are going)

Dont know much about Dawson so cant say much on him, but Brown will know him from his time at Giants and is maybe more qualified to judge him than you are.

My point being, we could sign all 3 of them and all could be disasters, but if one of the 3 turns out to be a good buy it will be a step up from the money wasted on Josh Perry (as all 3 of those combined will likely be cheaper than he has been for last 3 years)

Re: Josh Perry : Wed Jun 19, 2013 1:01 pm  

The safe bet is to be critical of every player signed, that way you always win. If the player bombs you can go with the I told you so, if they are decent no one is going to remember what you said and no one, bar maybe Rouges would bother to trawl through the pages 12 - 24 months after to give it back.

Tell me something, fo anyone who knows these players.
Are they what you'd call "hard" players?

No, I've never seen any of them play. But the fact that they cannot get into the first teams of Huddersfield and Hull KR must be a concern? There is no point buying in average players because they are available, we can do that perfectly well from the academy.

Beumont and Dawson seem from the same cloth as wheeler.
