Quote: Moe syslak "The ONE position we don't need to strengthen. We've got thewlis first choice and Ashton as cover. And what message does this send to that wonder kid taylor-wray in the scholarship? He's seen a young full back crack into the first team and cement his place with some excellent performances only for the club to go out and sign a full back. It beggars belief.'"
Minikin can play there, and Widdop too! I'd rather have signed another winger to improve cover for next season if we were after a back. For this season we need a big nasty prop, there was a hint this morning that we have a prop incoming, no idea who but it says from the west!
Dufty needs to be excellent or fans will be on the club and coach's back for signing a player who will likely get in the way of the development of our brightest academy graduate. I'm not going to write him off yet because he could be brilliant but I can't say I'm happy with this signing. I agree with you, we are really struggling and have gone and strengthened what has probably been our strongest position this season. I guess that makes it very likely that ratchford won't be retained too.
