| After watching the game back you culd have easily given the MoM to either Ratchford or Carvell.
There was a piece of game changing defence by Ratchford on the 21st minute as well when Huddersfield looked certain to score and go in front for the second time in the game.

| His signing have been top notch... However wat also impresses me is how he has developed and helped mentor the players we had from average players to champions !
I think I have a man crush

| i did the list but not my order so here it is
atkins (has come on leaps and bounds and always one of the first names on the sheet)
hodgson (why hudds refused a 2 year deal to the man of steel is anyones guess)
ratchford (best is yet to come and already you struggle to leave him out the team)
hill (one of the shrewdest signings made imo better than anyone thought)
j monas (made the transition to sl look like a piece of pee)
waterhouse (rate him highly hard working, honest second rower)
myler (when he is hot hes hot and his defense has improved ten fold)
solo (a real game changer i just feel his days are numbered with the reduction of subs)
mathers (had one or two fine games and was unlucky not to get the lance todd at wembley 2010)
carney (did he really impress anyone lol)

| Unless my memory is playing tricks, there seems to be very little in the way of signings or rumours of signings at this point in the season compared to previous years? ?
I wonder if all clubs are waiting on the outcome of theBradford situation ?

Are you saying that you think we only need two, or that you believe the club will only make two ?

interesting to compare Smithys signings V Cullens later "HJ" signings
Reardon v Hodgson
Gleeson v Atkins
Hicks v J Monas
Mike Monas v Myler (well Cull did sign him as a scrum half)
Carvell v Hill ( I think he was signed before Cullen left maybe wrong)
King v Ratchford
Grose v Mathers
Morley v Solomona
Louis Anderson v Waterhouse
Joey Johns v Carney (similar amount of games played !!)
whatever your views on him Cullen did Alright

Most of those players Cullen signed were already internationals or high level NRL players, the only one who was really a 'find' was Grose who had 3 good seasons and 2 disappointing ones.
But actually you do highlight something which is that Tony Smith does not go for galactico type signings, he goes more for the types of player Alex Ferguson does at United - either talented young players on the way up or hard working dependable quality who are not the game's biggest names.
Also a lot of the Smith signings have become better players since they joined us. Not sure you could say that for the Cullen signings.

Hodgson is miles better than Reardon ever was
Gleeson vs Atkins is tough Gleeson on his day was unbelievable but Atkins is arguably the best centre in SL
Hicks vs J Monas hicks for me all day long Joel is class but Hicks had everything Joel had and also speed and could kick goals if necessary
M Monas vs Myler Monas but Myler is still young and quality (see myler thread for reasons) Monas is one of the clubs best ever signings in my opinion so he wins that one
Carvell and Hill is about a draw Carvell edges it slightly as he has played longer at the top level
Grose vs Mathers is a tough one probably Grose but again two players who did well at the club
Morley beats big Dave but they are different types of player so a comparison is tough
Louis Anderson just ahead of Waterhouse but thats mainly because its Waterhouse's first season and their maybe even more to come when he settles like King
Joey Johns beats Carney because of the Leeds game and by the time we got Carney he was a crock (would have liked to have seen Carney here in his prime)
King was quality truly a great player after the first season and Ratchford will end up at FB so it is hard to draw a comparison
