Jordan will prove to be a valuable signing!! Strong in deffence in the middle of the pitch is EXACTLY what you are lacking at the moment, and atleast he cant take a flat ball to the line at speed!!

Let him play before judging him, think hes played in all 8 of the Crusaders last 8 matches at starting prop not bad considering all your opinions of him on here

I agree with you as I have also previousley said I shall wait to see how he performs in a Reds shirt prior to making any judgment. I think our fans views are that he doesnt seem to be the high calliber of player we are expecting to sign to fill big Ray's boots.

You can never have too many work horse's!!

the men who do the donkeyb work, the hard ball carries the 3rd n 4th man in secure tacklers

Fans can feel underwhelmed by signings. That's fine. But we should not cast judgement on someone until they actually play for us. Players can be invigorated by a Club switch. Good players in one side may become mediocre in another and mediocre players can shine and become good players in others.

Pre-judgement is a human failing. Let JJ's performances dictate how you feel.

Listening to Matt during the recent interview, he sees JJ "toughening up" the defence and appears to rate him as a professional pretty highly.

Like my lad says: a switch of clubs can alter a lot of things for a player. If he's good enough for Matt, he's good enough for me.

Did he used to work on the doors at the bluebell?

I'm really hoping the signings of Gledhill and James are more, Finnigan and Wilshire, than Jim Smith and Makin.

If Sidlow can't reach his potential, still think we need to sign a better quality prop.

Matt Parish might get the best out of him its happened before.

You can't polish a Turd , but you can roll it in glitter ...

smacks of a Harrison era ' pet project ' signing

Last pre season it was all ' top 8 ' we're going to sign Sinfield & Morley Etc, to the point where performances were never going to meet the hysteria.

low key signings could work in the new coach's favour;- everyone will write us off and better than average performances will add to the Parish myth like status,

However JJ like signings arn't going to make pre season ticket sales fly.

He sure did.
