No harm in giving him a trial as A N Other.... those were the days..... name the trialist.

I thought you were firmly in the 'at the right quality and the right price' camp re signings.

Which of those categories does Biggs satisfy, remembering by your mantra he has to satisfy both?

I stand by those thought's mate!
I see giving someone a trial as a no-loss gamble ala botham.
He came in,did what was needed and at no loss to us!

Winger is he? Would have to be a cheap option with Hall and Donald already under contract for next season.

Is Biggs likely to be up for a no obligation trial with a view to securing a contract for 2010 onwards?

Steve Ford. IIRC, received a tasty ban from the WRU and ending up spending a couple of seasons with Salford while it was served before returning to Union.

Yes

It'll take longer for him to learn how to defend properly. He can't tackle.

Ive seen him play. He's quick, brave and a good finisher in the mould of Steve "Slippery" Morris.

I think oppo teams will target him under the high ball, and in terms of wages, he wont come cheap.

Interesting though

But your first reply on the thread said

Quote: rhinoms "He's lightening quick and strong could be worth a go if he'd accept the wage's.'"


You had him potentially signed if Bigg's would accept Leeds' offer without being able to satisfy both your quality and affordable criteria.

Sorry but i had to do it. icon_wink.gif

Big enough for centre?

Looks it to me. Looks strong and powerful could be worth a punt.

Saying that centre will take a lot longer to learn compaired to wing.

If we do have him (which reading between the lines in tonights YEP) is a big possibility IMO it would certainly go to prove that desperation is starting to set in and that Gawwy is indeed as tight as a gnat's chuff!

It certainly woudnt be a signing for this season though would it? He might get one or two games but he isnt going to go straight into first team rugby and solve the Rhinos frailties. Sign him in 09 getting him ready for 2010. Which isnt what the fans want at the minute
