Quote: fartown since 1961 "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.'"
Yeah spot on. That must be our game plan going forward. Like ive said in my previous post, its not looking like we are going to recruit another prop as we have way too many next year ...unless Walne and Roche leave. We therefore have a really small set of prop forwards so Adding Uate to Jerry we will have 2 wingers who can make breaks and make massive metres and will take the pressure off our props.
I think 2nd row is where we will strengthen and we might try get someone like Matt Whitley from Widnes if they go down. A cracking young 2nd rower who has made the England Knights.
