You'll think that, but it seems in the last couple of seasons, for every stroke of magic there is also a bad mistake. He looks for the offload too much, but perhaps Smith will coach that out of him.


I agree though, good signing if he can keep up to it.

Sadly.

Given his recent injuries, it would be interesting to know if they've signed him on a pay as you play contract, so if he does his shoulder in again then we don't pay him.

Either way I reckon the size of his contract will have taken the injury into account.

PC seemed to me to have a policy of not signing players that were injury prone and getting rid of them if they did - Wilshire/Cardiss spring to mind, but then seemed to go away from that.
I think you've got to take each case as it comes along on it's own merits. Arguably with PJ and Rau going we've got less injury prone players.

Funny though how some clubs (eh Hull) always seem to have major issues at the start of the season - could be to do with their training techniques.

But surely we'll miss the heart stopping excitement/pain of the will he/won't he get the ball away.

If you look at teams in the top 8 all have impact players who come off the bench and trun games around.

Saints: Roby
Wigan: Feka
Hudds: Eorl

All players who can change a game and Solomona did it for Bradford and now he will be important to us. Its a very decent signing given he will have another 2-3 months off and then back to work with Warrington.

easily had his best years at Wakey,where he was high class.has been prone to injuries since joining bradford.great signing if he stays fit and thats a big if.a better ball playing forward would have been Danny Sculthorpe.

Noticed Andy Curriers name on the team sheet, I'd forgotten that he played for us.

Last seen last Saturday night, driving taxis around Widnes

Danny Sculthorpe is now no more than average and would bring baggage with him, his Father.

As far as David Solomona goes.......I.T.S.W.T

Solomona can win games on his own, providing he is fit. He is by far the best ball handling forward in the game bar none, with a great short kicking game. But i think his shoulder is well and truly gone.

solo could prove to be our most inspiring signing since nat wood imo.
