Gareth Owen : Thu Feb 20, 2014 12:00 pm  

Third player from Salford to sign on a season long loan, but unlike Hope and Ford he has decent experience in Super League. 37 games by the age of 21 so can obviously play a bit.

He's a hooker so won't walk into the side, we've got three decent hookers now. Think he can fill in at halfback too.

We've obviously struck up a relationship with Salford which is no bad thing. Unlike dual reg players all three of these lads are ours for the season and can't be recalled. Looks like Tubby and Nobby have quite a decent understanding.

I'm disappointed that he's gone and we've decided to stick with Stuart Howarth. He's a good little player and maybe should have had even more game than he already has. He is without a doubt the best natural hooker in the squad, but he's only small so won't really get a look in over the bigger lads, which is a shame. He'll go well for you men and hopefully come back to Salford and be ready to start again.

Thanks for that. Looking forward to maybe seeing him play on Sunday.

With Hope, Ford and Owen, surely an excuse for a Salford fun bus to come and watch us one weekend?!

Or every weekend.
