I know baloo thinks very highly of Moore, he sang his praises to me at the start of his initial loan period and laid it on very thick. He did do well for us. Lets be honest nb and baloo havent been weong in any of their signings so far except simpson-and i think a lot of that was just down to unfortunate bad luck. Part of the deal is he moves to hudds (similar to brough) and stays away from certain bad influences.

for me even though i prefer lunt as a player, moore does offer us more in the style of play we currently play, he has a much better offload and much more creativity, hopefully with nb and baloo knowing scotty and what makes him tick, then his off field problems can be sorted.

WOW very surprised at this signing. Why fix something that isn't broken. You guys are going a long very nicely, why sign a player who could potentially bring that crashing down. Particulary one like Scott Moore.

All those saying he'e talented, he had half a good season in 09 and got in the dream team. But lets remember Kevin penny got in the dream team once. He's OK but there are plenty of better hookers than him.

I actually want you guys to win SL this year (Behind Braford of course haha), but i would be fuming at letting this idiot come into a well run, close knitted team.

A mistake is somthing you do once. He's done it at every club he's been at.

Sorry Durham Giant, I had not seen that. Could the post be amended so that it doesn't seem like I've posted something I haven't

Crackerjack, I sense a slight hint of anamosity towards me yet I've just signed up. A case of jealously perhaps towards those that know more?

I totally agree mate.

Moore must think he's a cat!

Falling from grace at the basement club and landing a contract with the current leaders.

Well this board seems to be split 50/50 on this one, question is , just how many games will Moore actually play in?, Lunty has not played much so will we really miss him?, LUNTY was a good asset but obviously Browny & Baloo seem to think he is dispensible so he`s gone , the jury will have to wait and see what Moore does on or off the pitch before they hang draw & quarter him on here , but then again . I just hope this move doesn`t throw a spanner in our well oiled machine and everyone can get along nicely.

Heard he's only coming to serve the soup

Let's be honest - we aren't going to see him for a few weeks, until the coaches get him to the fitness levels expected for Giants players, by which time this will all have blown over, Lunty will be setting the Stobart alight, Gregg Eden and Robbo will be in the England set up and Broughy will have signed for another 5 years. Grrrreat.

Moore would give away about two per game for us, quite often at really important times too. The missed tackles may be symptomatic of Widnes though. He did miss the occasional tackle when at Saints but generally speaking he works his butt off in defence and puts in some humdingers sometimes. He can also pass spectacularly well (and spectacularly badly) and he can kick in play as well, although he has not been called upon to do that much. He had a good speed of pass when he was with us but his choice of pass was not always right, but that's to be expected really as nobody is perfect.

On the field his problem really is (a) giving away penalties, and (b) consistency. But overall the real problem is the off-field stuff. He could let the team, club and fans down, just as he did at Saints in spite of getting (yet another) chance.

Perhaps that's been part of the problem, it can't be easy for a talented player with an England call up to handle getting tonked every week. Or to sit and watch as roby plays 80 mins. He'll move to hudds with his young lady away from bad influences amongst mates who provide a good example with coaches who know him and how to handle him. If he messes up Thewlis will have him out -no fear!

i do really see this as a pointless signing if his not gonna play straight away for the level of fitness then whats he gonna have 2 games if that before tommy lee is back. fooey at hooker would do me fine wouldnt have to change owt thats going perfect atm and no chance of any distruptions.

dont want him taking mason astray again !!

Only the people who have made this decision can explain it i guess, they wont so we will just have to accept it and trust them.

I started this post last Thursday with no inside info. I just knew we would go for him for some reason.

All we can do now is wait and see. I hope he is a marvel(I won't hold my breath though)
