I think this and the other below answer why this is such a bad signing. I would have preferred the do nothing option and promoted from within.

Maybe retained James, tried harder with Cherryholme

I had picked up indications (from outside the club) we were looking at props at this level. This isn't a signing that immediately excites me, must admit, and indeed I find it a bit puzzling. Could say we have been here before with Chris Feather? Sculthorpe does have talent with the ball, without doubt...but will we see enough of it? I hope we do.

Happy with the Reardon signing. Have to reserve judgment on this one. What I will NOT do is get on a player's back until I've seen him out in a Bulls shirt a few times and seen whether he deserves either the shirt or the shîte. Maybe one or two others could do worse than do likewise?

See Macca has effectively confirmed Hall will play second row then, since he excluded him from the list of props he named?

yes, we are now a laughing stock for bloody Wakefield fans. This is now where we are at.

Great work Agent M. Now bugger off.

In case you can't readRichard Moore is not OOC! Ok!

This signing was always going to polarise opinion though

You can add in to his faults that he is a biter. During the Quins/Wakey game(the one he got kicked out of the Wakey for drinking) he bit Chad Randell on the arm!!

Not only have you got a fat lazy player youve also got a coward-Its a pity he hasn't followed Smith the other biter into Union.

Why?

Sculthorpe has been p!ss poor all his career. He is a one trick pony with his Solomona-esque offloads and is generally an ill-disciplined waste of time.

Better coaches than McNamara have failed to change this and at 30 he is unlikely now to be able to change.

People know what they are getting with Sculthorpe, hence the level of vitriol this signing will cause.

Or do you think that by pulling on a Bulls shirt next season he can suddenly turn into a top drawer player that he has been unable to do at any time before in his career?

Who were you supporting?

Dire.
Unbelievable.

Is this it then? This is the extent of out ambitions now. A player with an assault conviction not wanted by any other club and a useless waste of space with disciplinary issues not wanted by any other club.

I'm overjoyed obviously.

So would someone at the Bulls like to inform us where the £200K has gone? I guess we will never know.

Because like it or not he is now our player?

I think the very least 'supporters' can now do is just give him a chance to do a job for us. He won't replace Sam Burgess not even close but he isn't a NL standard either. I think it is fair to say that very very few fans are 'impressed' by this signing but at least try to understand why we may have signed him.

So there we have it, then. The definitive assessment.

I admitted to being distinctly underwhelmed and a bit puzzled by the signing. However, I took maybe a little heart from discovering that not everyone shares your view. These guys from the VT, for example



[i(only a fool would assume he was, and the club has certainly not said he is nor did MJ imply that)[/i







Shame that those guys don't know as much as you do, so their opinions may be safely discounted.

Aye, I forgot. He plays with us now so he must be suddenly good.

So he is an "ok" player? Good good. I feel so much better now.

So where has the £200K gone? Into the first team? It doesn't look like it.
