I don't really know anything about this lad - is he really worth paying a transfer fee for?

Re: WORTHINGTON : Wed Oct 08, 2014 6:14 pm

Which is why I asked if he's REALLY that good that we've paid a transfer fee for him. We've signed some top players over the last couple of years, none of which (as far as was reported) we paid a transfer fee for. It was a genuine question.

A five figure fee,£100.01.

He went to Batley.

None have still been on contract tho which has been the fee driver. Everyone I've spoke to this week who have either played with him or coached him at junior and professional level can't speak highly enough of him!

Re: WORTHINGTON : Wed Oct 08, 2014 7:53 pm  

From the 'press release' doesn't sound like Fev are going full time next season....

"Greg had aspirations for playing in a full-time environment which was no longer possible and Mark recognised that and was amiable in agreeing a five-figure sum for Gregs release to enable him to pursue that goal. I know this wont have been easy for him and he will no doubt be subjected to some criticism from some of his spectators but it takes an honest Rugby man to allow a player to progress rather than standing in his way."

I've always thought him to be a class act, when he's played against us during the past four years. It's unusual paying a fee though, these days.
