He apparently has taken a big cut and comes within budget. I don't think Sawyer is a man to throw silly money about. It is probably a good move for both sides as someone else said it may lead to an assistants job for him to be with Kear. The young halves can learn a lot from him and they will still get games when he is rested or injured.
He is getting on but all of our other halves are young so we can carry him. Foxy would had said he is just coming into his prime.

He reminds me of that Les Dawson joke!

"I'm not saying he's ugly but when he was born instead of slapping him the Midwife slapped his Mother!"

You don’t think we will see hordes of females with the wobbie style banners return?

Lucky he’s a rugby player and not here for a beauty contest

His age doesn't worry me. We don't need him doing full length trys. We've been crying out for an old head for years. Look at Scott Murrell at Fax. How many times have we been "old manned" over the years in this league?

I had exactly the same thoughts about him when the signing was announced.

Yeah, agree mate - that's exactly the way to think of it.

Every time I saw Murrell I said we could do with someone like him. Let the young lads do all the running.

Has signing been officially announced though? There hasn’t been anything from club, just articles in t&a and league express littered with ‘thought to have agreed a deal’ type statements.

Mark Sawyer hinted it was done didn’t he?

keyword there is hinted. not announced. I think a deal will have been agreed or T&A wouldn't have gone with such a big article on it. But could be case that it isn't actually signed yet giving club a get out if financial situation gets worse. My guess is they would announce it at the public meeting their talking about holding as something positive to announce.
