I don’t feel the need to post often, but WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with this sentiment. I can only hope that the appointment of ‘Psycho’ brings a shot-in-the-arm to our sport..... not to the rules, not to the clubs, not to the players, not to the referees..... but to the direction-makers that sit above the AMAZING sport that ours truly is.

| Quote TheDreadnought="TheDreadnought"Pointless because you don’t understand or don’t agree?
My point is that we have more than enough cover at halfback, Brough, Miller, Reynolds, Rocky, Jowitt and even probably Wood. Who have we got for the wing? Especially when you look at MCB’s record for us, it speaks volumes in iteself.
I get that Reynolds was probably signed thinking more long term, I have no problem with him or the signing of him. I just can’t see him playing a right lot until Broughs departure and considering how it’s been made clear in the past that we have “limited funds”, a signing like that could come to bite a club like ours in the backside. Short term of course so providing we have cover for the wings, it shouldn’t really matter but out of the two I would prefer MCB. What’s wrong with that?'"
I did and wingers will never be as important as pivot players, you simply can't have to many - also Hampshire is clearly going to be played as a FB whilst Jowitt has played twice at HB at A team level. That actually only leaves Broough 36, Miller and Reynolds. Also we have deprived Cas of the chance to sign one of the better second string HB's, which in itself is a coup. I know Cas will call him a reject but right now I reckon the coaching staff would take him.
Wingers we can cover, TJ, BJB, Lyne, Tupou, Kershaw and Hooley - in an emergency there are no shortage of wingers out there to get on loan, SH's with a kickijng game, find one if you can who obviously isn't overseas.
So yes I don't get the reason why you lumped Reynolds in - you should have stopped at having MCB back if we had the money IMHO, I would have agreed with that so why embelish it to the detriment of another player. If saying you prefer an ex-player to a new one who's done nothing wrong is liking the lad then lets hope you never turn on him.

| Wingers are interchangeable, admittedly with varying degrees of quality but I think it's easier to get by with make shift three-quarters than a make shift half.

I could not care less about Cas, you could make that argument for any player that’s not brought through the academy and considering Rocky and Jowitt have played there, they can be classed as available to cover imo. Genuine question are Kershaw and Hooley with us or out on loan again this season?
You say it’s not as important but as Phil Clarke says “to win a game you must score tries” and MCB clearly can score a try so even for cover I’d much rather see him on the wing instead of Lyne or Mini beast, they’re much more important at centre.
MCB - 1 try in every 1.35 games
Lyne - 1 try in every 2.86 games
Mini Beast - 1 try in every 2.29 games
I hope to actually see Reynolds at our starting 7 at some point in the near future.
All I am saying is when we’re clearly strapped for cash given the choice between the two and depending on the salaries... Id of gone for MCB.

Also, again I couldn’t care less if you agree with me or not. It’s my opinion... you’re entitled to your own

Course it's your opinion,you posted it on the Wakey board where you have people that don't agree with you, if you don't like it then don't post it, you must really be full of yourself if you believe people will always agree with you.

Go on then Woody Lad, you point out where I said that’s what I believe or in fact where I even said anyone had to agree with me because all I seem to remember posting is that Vastman is entitled to his opinion

| MCB would be a great addition - not just for us but for any team in SL. However, in our case, its worth remembering that CC let him go as he couldnt guarantee him 1st team action with the players we had - he wasnt getting in front of TJ or BJB. To have him back to be in the same situation would be harsh on him and frankly a waste of salary.

You might be getting your wendyballers mixed up. It's Tony Adams, the ex-Arsenal defender, who's been given a role. Stuart Pearce is just a fan, I think.

Well you obviously said what you believe or you wouldn't have said it that's called an opinion, and no you did not say everybody had to agree with you and I didn't say they had to either, and yes you did say grudgingly imo, that he was also entitled to his opinion which is what I pointed out to you in the first place, so what's the point your trying to make?
