Gidley's on a one year deal, is he a panic buy?

The club should be applauded for offering contracts that mean the player has to prove their worth especially considering certain other signings of recent times.

I too get totally ed of with the constant negativity from certain spoilt fans. Duck off and support Leeds. By the way, Dodds (unless injured) has always been in the Broncos 1st 17 where the successful prop named Garbutt at a Leeds was very rarely in there.

No, no, no! You don't understand this game! What if he turns into a world beater (despite being a panic buy) and flies off to the NRL after a year. It's shortsighted is what it is!

Hey Gary no it's just the suddenness of signing him. Someone mentioned we enquired about him 3 months ago which I hadn't heard. First I heard was he got told about a week ago he was unwanted and the the Akuma signing fell through and we suddenly sign him. It just looked like a panic buy. I hope he is the answer we're looking for I was just really excited for Akuma coming to us as I think he would be amazing for us........so I spat my dummy out and threw a paddy.

The Aussies are laughing at us on Twitter for having Dodds, Sandow, Gidley, and Sims in the same side. I think "prone to the odd error' is polite. We shall see.

Was not me that said we enquired about him, i reguarly read zero tackle and it was about 3 months ago i saw on there he was looking for a SL club.

Mitchell Dodds has been on our radar for ages

I asked Moley on Twitter last night what his opinion is of him. He replied with 'Good, honest battler.'

He also said he knows of one more signing we've made. When I asked if it was Eastmond he favourited my tweet. Probably means nothing though.

If you believe Matt King he's on a 1 year deal to make way for Cronk who's coming to us 2017.

But if I wanted to constantly live with "...but next year we'll be great" then I'd start supporting Hull FC.

Well Sandow is only on a 1 year deal after all.
