Surely would'nt that put you in the best possible position to offer an opinion on the player?.

Im sure the same could be said about Richard Moore, Ricky Bibey, Jase Golden etc etc, they came in from the lower leagues and did a job for us.
In fact all the players we have signed in recent years seem to be 'cast offs' with the exception on Shane Tronc and David Solomona- and we're still in SL and remain competitive!!

Hey, if you're happy, fair do's owd cock!
I'm not a supporter of your club so I'm dispassionate about my observations. There are those of us who thought jjp was NOT the best centre at fev. I've seen Kevin Penny a few times and was NOT impressed by him in any of his performances v Fev - he was gash!! Sam Barlow, ok player. Young and big - ok in championship - but nowt more special than ok - and I've seen him player a fair bit this season for sheff and fax.
My thoughts that at SL, when the intensity, fitness and skills level are much higher, your team is being filled with recruits who have only performed, and some (Penny) who have been absolutely average, in the championship!
Still, if you're happy, that's ok.

Different environments have different affects upon players, Paul White was so appalling whilst on loan at Halifax they sent him back, and to be fair to the lad he went on to play fairly well for the rest of the season at SL level.
The signings this season are not so different from the usual ones Trinity make. Older players with SL experience, players written off by other clubs and a few championship players. So far they have managed to keep the club hovering around the top 8 aside from last year, which ironically the recruitment policy appeared deviate from the norm and go for a higher quality of player.

| You only have to look at Peter Fox and Jason Golden. Both were plucked from lower league clubs when Rhino's didn't think they were good enough. Both are still playing at superleague level one of them rated as one of the best wingers in the country.

Its the circumstances surrounding this that I would not want him at my club, not a reflection on his ability.

Exactly, we all know that, but, supporters of other teams would rather come on here and sneer at the signings. Ho hum.

| Taking on players who 'have had' discipline issues does not bother me one bit,
JK has proved time after time that he can sort troubled players out and get the best out of them plus more
We got rid of Brough frist time around due to discipline issues and very few fans wanted him back after his stint with hull and cas (I thought his signing insane at the time), he's now the best british scrum half in the game, he is one of numerous players that JK has sorted out
Todd Carney was sacked for a breech of discipline, one year later he is stand off and player of the year
We will start our season with a team of unknows, kids and has beings not for the first time and I am sure we will compete and finish higher than any one will give us credit for as ususal
