| I'm really struggling with this signing, from what I see, he's no different to Titus Gwaze, a player who has been playing most of the season for London and done pretty well, whilst this lad had been crook most of the year with quite a serious injury. I don't see anything that he offers that we wouldn't have still had if we'd kept Titus.
Really starting to doubt my 1873 commit 6 payments and what they are actually being used for

Although I get your point Titus was a tight call but they rightly saw Aydin as the better option. Let’s be right here you only really want one rookie prop in the first team at any one time.
Also the comparison is not right. Titus purely pays prop as far a I’m aware, this lad seems to play everywhere in the pack and is that little bit older and more experienced. Also if we’d have kept Titus he too may have been injured, it is something of a curse at the club.
I know it’s been tough for you but we or are least I pay that money into the club for it to use as it sees fit. It’s unconditional even though I like you don’t always like how it’s used. I do it because one day it might allow us to sign a superstar of the future he we wouldn’t otherwise have been able. And by that I don’t mean some 15 year old wonder kid as they don’t always pan out. I’m talking the Gareth Ellis types who were just part of a number of ok players. For me it’s a numbers game with youngsters, we take what we can afford and we refine and occasionally we find a golden nugget.
It’s brutal as you know but if we stop doing it then lads like yours and many other may never have gotten the chance. True Dewsbury is probably not where he wants to be but he’s still in the mix so it has to be worth it surely.
My lad got nowhere near that far but I always paid up in the hope that he would. I still do but at 27 I’ve finally accepted that he won’t get signed
There are currently 11 genuine club produced players in the first team. I can remember when it was far less.
I remember when we played Cas in 2006 there were virtually no British players in the team let alone Academy product, bad days indeed.

as for my lad, he never really got the chance, but I'll leave it there for another day as not getting in to it whilst he's effectively still under contract until 30th November
Is that his nickname then, Sid ??

They are in build but not sure they are in skill set.
Truth is WP is a new coach and he hasn’t been with us long. He also seems to be going through the club with a big brush. So maybe he wouldn’t have let Titus go in the first place but now wants that style of player and he thinks Sid a better option, just surmising.
Ditto with your lad, I may be wrong but I would imagine WP didn’t have much contact with Ollie? So to him he’s not a known quantity. I don’t like laying blame but I suppose you’d have to point the finger at CC. As to me the bringing in of Senior was a truly poor decision, especially as he was used at centre which he clearly wasn’t. I suppose it’s bad luck, but Dewsbury is a club where he can still get noticed and if he does I pray it’s not Cas because that’s where my sympathies end

Well you would wouldn’t you. I’m all for respecting people ethnic origins but his name is a mouthful to your average RL fan,
So Sid it is.

| Nah....think we should call him "Good" as hopefully he will turn out to be a Good Buyi, but if he doesn't then at the end of the season it will be Good Byi
I'll get my coat.....

Sadiq isn't exactly a hard name to say.
I've no problem with people who want to give nicknames but not just for the international names.
If he's OK with it, like Tini instead of Tinirau then great, which in this case it seems it is.

Don’t make it serious PT, he calls himself Sid and WP calls him Sid and his surname is hard work, just go with the flow for once

That won’t happen, apparently he has a super contact for one year that runs for two

Sorry but no I don’t agree, it’s ok in almost any case IMO.
You don’t choose nicknames you are given them. And unless they are deeply offensive in someway or indeed illegal ie racial abusive there is nothing you can do about it and rightly so, that to me is extreme snowflakery (I just made that word up).
Unless there is some incredible deep meaning to the Sid moniker then in no way is it an issue, even though everything seems to be an issue these days.
I’ve had two nicknames in my life, Sevi and Vast, both started as mild micky takes over something or other and neither ruined my life.
Especially relevant was Sevi, I’m not Spanish but it worked.

You are wrong, both WP and AL had more involvement in the day to day coaching of the team than CC, unfortunately a decision was made early on in the season under CC's tenure (but Ollie didn't find out until 2nd September) that the team would be massively reduced in numbers due to reduced funding and he and a good few players were being taken off the books (I believe there are still another 2 or 3 to be announced as leaving) thankfully Lee greenwood had seen and heard enough good about Ollie to approach him and although he had offers from 3 other championship clubs, dewsbury offered the best opportunity for him to develop. BTW I don't blame WP or AL, I know exactly where to lay the blame and the reasons behind the decisions
