It's an underwhelming signing to be honest. I was in support of him to the end of the season, but not sure what he's going to add next year. The rumours we were in for him at the start of the year but wouldn't meet his wage demands and have since gone back with an improved offer doesn't sound good to me. I hope we've not been bent over a barrell on this one. He's Super League level, but he's not a signing that will improve our side.
1. McDonnell, 2.Makinson
is stronger than
1. Makinson, 2. Fleming/Bailey/Dawson
It IS a signing that will improve us, despite it being an underwhelming signing as you say. It's a signing out of necessity. It will also take the pressure off Lomax getting fit for round 1 next year and possibly coming back unfit.
It's a sensible, if unspectacular, signing.
