I don't think I've missed a game of his since he has played for rovers and i can tell you he is definitely not a dirty sod the lad doesn't have a bad bone in his body

I must have missed this. Where has it been said about Dodds missing the start of the season?

I think Roger mentioned it in a radio interview yesterday ? Hasn't he had surgery in Australia after the gf ?

and theres the text from tony smith, jordan cox on a one year deal.

i saw it in the league express yesterday, he had a pin put in his wrist after the NRL gf, so it'll be affecting his pre season, same thing with ratch he's had a shoulder op.

Been posted now that it was League Express - thanks - useful update.

It says he is already training with the club.

At least he'll give Wheeler some company in the physio room.

Just the kind of signing that makes you excited and want to buy/renew a season ticket, the corner is turned, awesome.


#whatsarcasm

last year we got rid of a prop with no heart and one with no brain...... now we have signed a prop with no spleen.

**BREAKING NEWS** - club announce new female physio.. short girl with brown platted hair and shiny read shoes.

A player who looked okay a few years ago and whose career seemed to be petering out.

The fact he will still qualify for the U23s may have something to do with it.

Jordan who? 9 games for us last season, only 1 start. All instantly forgettable. He was blowing like a whale after 5-10 minutes of each appearance. Never took his chance when offered and always lacked intensity.

Has all the physical attributes to be a top player, except brain, heart and spleen.

That said, I hope he goes well for you and expect a change of environment will mean he makes me eat my words.

Looked a very good talent at the younger age groups when he was a lot taller and therefore bigger than his opposition. He ruptured a spleen against Wigan a couple of years ago and after having his spleen removed had to have the rest of that year out.

Last year he struggled with the training and didn't bulk up or improve his fitness, so he was neither fit enough to play second row for long enough periods (his preferred position) and not muscular enough to play in the props (coaches preferred position for him)

I don't know who had seen and thought of him as a dirty player, but he's the opposite and lacks the aggression needed. I would say he was the atypical big, soft, daft lad!

A very strange signing. I am not sure that this one should go into the 'Prop' thread.

Perhaps best to start a 'lucky dip' thread instead.

Direct replacement for England by the look of it.. low earner with a chance to prove himself.

like all new signings, i wont make a judgment until we have seen him do his thing.... sounds like we may have to get him fit before we see what he can do though... As suggested, he could well play 23's until he is up to speed, which may not be until half way through the season.

Im still expecting another prop.
