Hardly going to get the masses running out to buy season tickets, although the scapegoat position is now sorted. His demeanour is the thing thats lets him down the most but imho he is nothing better than average anyway. 3 years for an average player, have we learned nothing?

Gutted - saw nothing from him with us last year - apart from looking totally disinterested and having a great ability to wander around with his hands on his hips. Doesn't look much of an athlete to me. One of the laziest players i've seen - 3 years is mental.

1-2 year deal with options to extend would've been a more prudent offer. If Owen and his agent didn't accept those terms it should have been no deal.

Will there be anymore?

I believe that Tim Smith and Chris Riley were offered longer deals but were only prepared to sign one year deals.

Not a Wakefield type player apparently hopefully he'll be given the chance to be one, whatever a Wakefield type player is

Cas away last season showed him up - they just kicked/attacked his corner as much as possible & he couldn't cope .

Then why didn't some of the Wakey type players' help him out?

They'd have probably been pulled up for obstruction & penalised ...being Wakey type players .

Pull your necks in, I havnt got a problem with the signing just the length of it. Would have prefered maybe Tim Smith getting the 3 year deal.

In terms of length of contract, without knowing the details, how can anyone complain?
KH does not seem like someone to be messed about with on contract negotiations.

For all we know it could be a lower cost deal over 3 years rather than a more expensive one for 1 year.
I personally don't like him as a person (and I only know him through 3rd hand stories and seeing him play) but I defer on rugby knowledge to Webster and contract negotiations to Kath.

Have to b honest don't know which cas game sum people were watching.But from wot I saw they kicked at him all first half he did very well .so they started kicking at sum one else.I would ac gave him 2 not 3 years.but iam not running the club

3 years is amazing , when we couldn’t even offer one of our own (who has more utility, determination and guts), a contract to resign . The judgement sits full square at the door step of j/W

Unlike others I don't mind Owen. I think finding a home for 3 years rather than being a loan player will do a guy like him good. Surprisingly he's still only 24 and could have his best years in front of him.

Personally wouldn't have gone for 3 years , more like 2. But hey I don't know what his contact is or how the negotiating went down. Under MC I just can't see any over the top contracts being handed out.

Strange we reward a player that had given so little apart from 2 games he was here one against Cas and other against Widens rest of the time he didn't try and got a telling off on several occassions by Tim Smith for not bothering to run. We should have just loaned a better winger and saves cash. I will not here the club moaning about money when we waste it like that for 3 years. I have seen more life in a tramps vest than Richard Owen. Worse signing of the lot!!!
