Not quite, don't think anyone is saying that, but maybe, whatever we all think we can support a player who pulls on our shirt and then judge him on the performances and effort he puts in or not whilst wearing our shirt?

As I've said, I'm underwhelmed to say the least. but I'm going to see how he goes in our squad wearing our shirt before I disregard him as a failure, I hope he proves a lot of people wrong.

Each to their own mind, and I suspect peoples views we're all entitled to express will stay where they are today until we see him and the new squad play......

...could be a long off season. icon_wink.gif

Quote: mystic messiah "So, some people rate him then? Good for them!

(although why you see fit to quote from a Giant who said he was a decent 5th/6th string prop at Huddersfield is a tad puzzling. '"


A bit of balance never does any harm, wouldn't you say? And indeed, that was why I included the post you referred to - in the interests of balance. I can understand you being puzzled though since the concept of balance is probably a bit new to you.

Think you must be confusing me with someone else. I already made my initial thoughts on this signing quite clear.

Quote: mystic messiah "People are entitled to there opinion (even me Adey!) and my opinion is that Danny Sculthorpe is a terrible signing who will do nothing to improve our side whatsoever. Maybe he will prove me wrong?'"


That is the posting you should have made in the first place, is it not?

Quote: debaser "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.'"


Your second point - indeed. But my post was about fans' reactions to Danny Sculthorpe the player. Not about whether the club could or should have made a "better" signing.

It does seriously look like now that we are doing things on the cheap contrary to what we've been told. Do the club expect these signings to attract back the floating fans.

I am pretty sure that lots who have not bought season tickets will be floating off before they do now...

Ok, so 5 or 6 fans rate him as ok. That's cheered us all up.

I know the point you are making - you are saying we should get behind him. However, all the "getting behind him in the world" is not gonna suddenly stop him being e now is it?

I'm not saying it will. I think it is pretty clear what the overall feeling is regarding this signing though perhaps in varying degrees. I just hope that now though that we do not have a full off season of people bagging him before he's given a shot at the Bulls. At his stage of his career he isn't going to improve his skills but he may well 'fit' at the Bulls and do an decent job for the money we're paying him.

I might have worded the first sentence very slightly differently, but I think you will find a general consensus with that post on this board.

Glad it has cheered you up, cos it hasn't cheered me up dramatically... icon_wink.gif

Except my point, since maybe you left that behind on that last bend, was about fans damning the guy before he pulls on a jersey, not about whether any of us should be ecstatic about the signing given what sort of signing we would all want to see if there were no limitations. Was it not?

I'm not damning him, but history seems to.

I'm more p155ed off that a "big" club like the Bulls can no longer attract any decent signings.

I guess that comes down to what people mean by "decent", given that the likes of e.g. Peacock (D), Withers, Hape, Henderson... well were they seen as "decent" signings at the time? And "any"? Not one of our signings last year or two has been "decent"?

But, to widen it out to being pîssed off about us not now seeming to be able to retain a squad relative to other clubs which looked a match for every one of theirs, then yes indeed. And get in the line...there are loads of us already in front of you!

Quote: cieranblonde "I think Kearney will prove to be a much better player than Jeffries. If Sculthorpe puts any effort in he'll be just as good as Burgess was for the first half of the season. And if Hall plays every game he's beaten Glenn's record for the year. Reardon for Semi isn't a great swap but needs must. And i'd rather you get your boots on and play hooker than bother with Newton anymore Ewen'"


as a 30 year Wakefield fan and a two year sharks fan..


I can confirm Kearney is a better player the Ben Jeffries ... at full back

BJ is a far better half back/ stand off than Kearney

if you play Brett at half or 5/8 you will be devastatingly dissapionted...
