If Kershaw is the answer, you’re asking the wrong question.

I posted a while back on the qualities of Lewis, he’s been good on the wing, but can’t help thinking he could help our centre problem, he breaks tackles, he’s danced round Welsby on his debut and outpaced Dodd, tall and rangy, quite quick, and looking solid in defence, obviously still learning all the time, we’ve a couple of flyers coming through in the academy as well.

On Lee Kershaw I’ve seen him finish a few long range efforts a while back for Wakey though, he’s good competitor but we have our own prospects I’d rather develop than investing in him.

Surprised he hasn't used it when he's been in the clear then

Jai field was in the clear last week against the dobbins.

I’ve seen Martin play for the reserves. He is fast.
Both him and Barron are making mistakes but those mistakes in part are down to the lack of confidence playing in a beaten team.
I’m confident these kids wil fulfill their promise with experienced players around them.

He is a good back up
At 25 he is too young for us and wouldnt fit in as he has speed

Except he's older and slower than both Martin and Barron.

Martin and Barron are quick. They've hunted down some speedsters when they've broken our line.

He's just sat there with his Red and White tinted glasses on!

No one said he's the best long term option but he's better than briscoe and ahead of martin and Barron right now. He would have given us a cheap option for a couple of years. Moot point anyway, he wasn't choosing us over rovers

IMO, but I'd have all three of those over him, like a poor man's Greg Eden

Depends if he wants to play rugby. He ain't getting on the wing ahead of Rovers first choice wingers next season unless injuries occur. You'd maybe say he'd get in our starting 13

I think he's better than all 3 of them currently but we all have our opinions. He's certainly no worse a signing than Ed chamberlain

Well he can't play any position than wing, so he probably is.

Chamberlain's utility value make him a decent squad player, but that's what he should be.
