Quote: simonsays "Let's hope the 4 1/2 year contract is justified. He has never played Super League so it will take time to adjust.
What about Simpson ? One of our own, I had high hopes of him at full back. Seems Grix exit at end of season will please all his critics. Tansey and Foster surplus to requirements , Has Anderson got a plan or being told by the CO who he can have.???'"
I'm also dubious about 4 1/2 years- it's obviously a gamble but the club seem quite good at "looking after" players. They wanted Ryan to move over here, he's not going to up sticks with his family for a one year deal so it had to be worth his while. We need to show we will invest in him as a player.
Simpson is currently injured too, and we do need another FB at the club! We also need a back up winger as ATM if Murphy / Jerry are injured we would struggle- hence giving foster a go. He seems quite happy with that. Tansey is just a loan for a month to cover our FB injury situation.
