Seems like a grafter, decent amount of pace. Shouldn't count on the non-fed quota too I don't think, as he came through the academy at Rovers.

I just hope this doesn't signal the departure of Donno, as they seem to play a similar style.

Re: New Signings/Re-Signings : Sun Aug 03, 2014 11:13 pm  

Well those clips certainly make him look a decent prospect and he's only 22.

But I assume this means both Addy and Donalson are leaving

Re: New Signings/Re-Signings : Mon Aug 04, 2014 5:18 am  

He seems to be more like an Addy style of player. The clips package looks like he plays a bit in the hooker role so perhaps this is where Jimmy sees him fitting in (as a back up to O Brien rather than Addy).

I seriously hope that Donno stays and I think he really owes it to the club. We've stuck by him through a fair few lean years when there were doubts over his ability to stay fit and injury free. It would be gutting to now see him walk away after one good season.

That said, I heard rumours of him leaving back at the Hull KR game (Warrington mentioned as the most probable destination).

Looks a good signing and another young player to start the re-build with . Hope Donno is staying as we do need a bigger squad than this year even in the back row we had Pitts and bridge on loan and also played Blythe and purts too this year. At start of this year we had chev , addy , Donno , ferguson. , olbison , winterstein , Roberts all for second row and loose. With chev playing prop , winterstein leaving before start and ferguson and Roberts getting injured we soon needed Danny bridge on loan and then jay Pitts so this signing shouldnt be Donno leaving and with a couple more signings to add some depth and fight for places to the squad .

Donno re-sign next I hope as many have said AoB will be kept until season ticket launch or when sales dip

Re: New Signings/Re-Signings : Mon Aug 04, 2014 6:45 am  

Good player is Peterson. He's a very Langley-esque loose forward. Good tackler and a very hard worker who could probably do 80 mins.

Re: New Signings/Re-Signings : Mon Aug 04, 2014 6:50 am  

I would also like to see Donno sign but I don't see it as imperative. Yes he is a tackling machine but he is too small and busts the line too infrequently for me. He isn't the finished player yet.

added to 2015 squad list.

Don’t really understand the keenness to see Donno or Addy re-sign. Sure Donno’s got a decent defensive technique but he doesn’t do anything much in attack and lacks “mongrel” which we’ve been missing for a few years. We need an Elima/Karl Fairbank type player, especially in the championship who can make opposition players a bit more reluctant to mix it. We’re going to be the opposition they all want to beat so we need some toughness in the pack. I hope Peterson has some of this.
