Because if he's not on marquee money that could give us an option to spend it on a centre. As fans we like to speculate how the caps been managed and what we could potentially still bring in, to me it matters if we're getting financial value out of a player, especially given the precarious financial position we are in. If we have any more Reynolds/Brown/Pele/Evans/Hoy I could probably go on it could have a horrendous impact on the club, I don't fancy seeing us do a Bradford (which could be a real possibility depending on investment).

If we had signed him certain posters would be on here moaning that we've signed someone from another bottom two club who's only played 74 games in five Super League Seasons with a pretty average try scoring ratio.

If Kershaw is the answer, you’re asking the wrong question.

Marty Dawson Jones MKII

I posted a while back on the qualities of Lewis, he’s been good on the wing, but can’t help thinking he could help our centre problem, he breaks tackles, he’s danced round Welsby on his debut and outpaced Dodd, tall and rangy, quite quick, and looking solid in defence, obviously still learning all the time, we’ve a couple of flyers coming through in the academy as well.

On Lee Kershaw I’ve seen him finish a few long range efforts a while back for Wakey though, he’s good competitor but we have our own prospects I’d rather develop than investing in him.

Jai field was in the clear last week against the dobbins.

I’ve seen Martin play for the reserves. He is fast.
Both him and Barron are making mistakes but those mistakes in part are down to the lack of confidence playing in a beaten team.
I’m confident these kids wil fulfill their promise with experienced players around them.

Except he's older and slower than both Martin and Barron.
