| 1 month loan deal, confirmed on his Twitter.
Good signing, means Tansey can continue at FB too.

| He's a great player with a developing attacking brain. Had a loan spell at Widnes last season, played at 6 and helped them beat Wigan. Notice he went AFTER we played you! Finally, he can kick a goal from pretty much anywhere. Should do well for you with Chase out for the next two matches.

| Wonder if he'll get the goal kicking duties instead of Ellis (that's if we score a try )

46042.jpg [quote="Bonzo":23qz4bj5]Corrected.
Incidentally, an exclamation mark ends a sentence and does not require a full stop. The first letter of the next word begins a new sentence and should therefore be capitalised. [i:23qz4bj5]Who needs flankers[/i:23qz4bj5]' grammar was actually correct.
HTH.

| Very happy about this! At last common sense from the club.
We will still have him after Rangi has served his ban. Options at halfback

| Pleased with this,we have acted fast to the Chase ban and O'brien sounds a useful player.
Goes to show the different mentality at the boardroom now.

| O'Brien is a superb young player.
Wire are working on him to become Briers successor.

| A few of you may remember one of his early first team appearances, he ripped you apart.

Hardly a massive achievement given our record over the past 12 months+.
Oh, and the fact he had good players around him. I'd rather judge him in a weak side where there's more pressure on him to perform.

He played in a weak side - Widnes & got good raps.

He played a fair number of games for Widnes at the start of last season, so you could ask their views for a 'neutral' opinion.
I don't think pressure will be an issue, he is a very calm player, with a quick pair of hands. He is more than capable of leading a side around the pitch, but don't expect to see him ripping the defence apart with darting runs. His goal kicking is exceptional, I would rate him above Bret Hodgson.
Personally I think this is a win win situation for both clubs (and GOB of course).

| He's no Rangi but certainly a capable Sl player - if we defend like we did on Sunday then we give ourselves a massive chance, whoever the standoff is.
With Ellis, Clark, Milner and Tansey we have enough creative quality - O'Brien can only add to that

| great to have another half back at the club, it will do the young lad good to work with rangi during his spell with cas , im sure smith has considered this when loaning him out.
cant believe people are branding tansey as a creative player - we need to be careful about bulling him up ....hes average at best and will be on dual reg at keithley if we had Dixon in the backs !

| ^ he's had two solid games so far to be fair
if anything I'd be dual registering Dixon when he's fit to give him some game time
