Quote: Hangerman2 "I can't see why we have offered such a lot to tempt Uate to be honest. All the reports talk of the 'lucrative super league deal'. I agree that he's a luxury player the kind you sign when you have a great side and are looking for the icing to turn you into trophy winners, we are a long long way from that. That being said, he's undoubtedly a good player , just i would much rather it been spent on up and coming quality forwards or halfbacks as that is where we really lack.'"
If you think of Uate like another Gerry then you have 200m+ per game between them that your forwards don’t have to make, two players who will make line breaks and score tries, and makes for good watching too, it would be a good signing/plan in my opinion if he does come to us.
We needed to make a statement and this is what this signing is signifying our intention to improve and challenge the top 4 and challenge cup again. If we were also to get Hastings plus maybe a big nasty horrible Luke O’Donnell style pack leader the crowds would increase and Sky become interested in us again.
