Could be a shrewd signing. A skilful player who will give us other options on attack . Been involved in the game for for over 50 years in various capacities and am yet to be convinced about Jowitt. To me he is average when compared to other regular Superleague fullbacks.
As for comparison with Trinity full backs of the past he is nowhere near Metcalfe, Round, Cooper , Wraith, Sheard, Box , Spencer or Holland.

He was offered a contract - on less than he is on now = Dufty is tipped Saints #1 next year. He's another level.

Coote would be an overseas, frontline signing.

Gaskell is a UK utility. that's where his value lies.

Got to agree .Haskell will be the wrong side of 30 and gets injured a lot .Hampshire is not perfect but got more to is game

Do you mean first-choice squad player or FB?

If you mean the former I agree, if you mean the latter I don't agree.

As it stands, I can see him at centre to start with depending on Bills recovery but who knows. He covers quite a range.

Seriously, you think Hampshire has more to his game than Gaskell? I think not.

Why though are we again pre-judging a player who hasn't even played a game for us. Will fans never learn? How many times do fans get it wrong on signings, about 90% of the time in my opinion, so why not judge a player on what he actually does rather than some preconceived prejudice?
