We've got burned on unfit players before.

So no.

He is not fit. He is not a marquee name. He's not even that good.
No way do we make another mistake on a player who will not have the "team" ethos that Big Mac has instilled in the team.
Let him rot (or even worse, go to a championship side and earn 10% of his previous wage)...
As for being away from his ex-wife......I suggest you split from your partner of a few years before commenting on how he would react from 200 miles away as against 20 miles away.
He would be a big mistake IMO.

I know he isn't but IF he was fit I would take a gamble on him, there is little back-up for the backs at QRL so he'd be worth a punt.

But he is unfit so I would steer clear

BF....as a club we rarely take a punt on players who are (to put it mildly) carrying baggage. Danny Williams was an exception to the rule, but let's face it, he lost it on the field and it was his only "issue".
Reardon has a number of things going on and I would suspect that Big Mac wouldn't touch him with Brian Nobles barge pole.
As for cover in the backs.....we have loads in the back 5.
Wells, Melling, Sharp, Gardner, Clubb, Howell, Gafa and if need be O'Callaghan and Big Mick Nanyn , so we wouldn't need a prima-donner with a "don't you know who I am attitude" in that group.
As a Club, we have an aim to field more home grown players than the "traditional" clubs and I would rather stick with our current back 5 than pay that idiot 1 penny.

5 full-backs yes but you are weakening other positions if injuries occur

We have Melling....a GB full back, but this year, played on the wing when wells has been fit.
Wells, a wing, who has been brilliant this year at FB.
Sharp, great prospect on the wing.
Gardner....by no means the complete winger, but getting there
Clubb...centre, wing or even loose forward if he puts his mind to it.
Gafa....class centre
Howell, class centre
O'callaghan, work in progress, but without doubt, one of outstanding prospects we have.
Nanyn.....he can kick goals and play centre if need be.

We do not need cover in positions 1-5....6&7 we need orr to stay fit and 8,9,10, 11,12,13 have talent throughout.
FFS....we start with LMS on the bench in most games and he is an England international.
If we have cash available, Reardon isn't where it should go.
By the way....stop getting me involved in non-marketing threads....people will think I am starting to understand the game after 7 years

sign a WIFEBEATER is someone havin a laugh

I thought it was good? thinking on the part of Hull, when they are supporting a "Stop Abuse Campaign" - annoyed that Saints think Pryce deserves no further punishment, does club and team success come before justice? - next they will be asking for his 100 hours community service to be a Knowsley Road??

Wonder if the RFL and Super League will stand up and be counted, now the ball is back in their court?

Really? There are quite a few players who were drinking in the last saloon before they signed for us either on loan or permanently, Richard Moore for one springs to mind. In fact we have been pretty bad at turning players who have the talent around, Timu, Hammond, Harmono amongst others all did well for the club when others would have left well alone.

WHY OH WHY OH WHY.......can't you leave factless posts alone without throwing your OH SO OH SO OH accurate oar in

Oh aye but be do still shop in the scratch and dent aisle, how many clubs (Widnes fans apart) do you think were sniffing around Marty when we signed him.

Wasn't Danny Ward seen as a wrong'un before he came here?
