As stated some time ago Tuson was still welcome at wakefield should he decide to come. He was given the option to nagotiate elsewhere should he wish as at Wakey there were some signing lined up to come along side Tuson (Sure Adam Swift was all but signed) but the finances reared their heads.

Wakey were good enough to do the correct thing by Tuson. He should go well for you and although I don't see tickle much I think I'd rather have Tuson than tickle any day.

Part of me thinks we could have made someone pay a few for him but that wouldn't have been very tasteful given the situation. Wakeys loss is hulls gain but we aren't struggling for good second rowers so could be been worse.

Not once in Danny Tickle's duration with us did I see him as an attacking forward. I agree with you, barring coming on to a short ball near the line, which nine times out of ten was put down, all he was was a solid back-rower who could kick a dead ball. A good salary off the cap.

Pleased with this signing, he should go well for us.

Tickle has 4 times as many offloads and twice as many tackle busts in less games and playing for a worst team, who can't attack.

Very happy with this signing, a good strong back rower coming into the peak of his career. An upgrade on tickle IMO.

Totally agree with you, there is no way anyone can surely believe that Tickle is a better attacking backrower.
Much rather have Tuson over someone like Mika, but was he really needed? Needed another impact prop much more than a back rower. But seeing as we signed a back rower, it should of been someone in the same mould as Manu. We're never going to improve our predictable attacking signing grafters.

An upgrade on the Tickle of 2013 who had become something of a penalty machine, couldn't pass a ball and is injury prone. Prior to that Danny T has been a great servant to the club both as a 2nd rower and a supreme goal kicker, but the timing of his departure is err timely.

Happy with this signing as mentioned coming from a winning and disiplined culture at Wigan. Welcome to the black & whites Chris.

How old was Tickle when he first signed for us?

Fits the mold of young and English, agree we need a prop more, but then people tell me a couple of the young players could be making a step up.

Correct , says it all . Very good signing .

I like this signing better than some of our others!

Also glad to see we have only given him a 2 year deal. I don't think bringing players in with potential on long contracts always works & maybe Pearson has realised this with Crookes & Arundel?

Tbf to Tuson Wigan as a team don't offload much, they've made they least amount of offloads of all the teams in the league. Also in less games Danny has managed to give away more penalties, make more errors & miss more tackles.

But Tuson scored, or was involved, in 3 times as many tries, made twice as many clean breaks and averages more metres per carry.

Stats are just stats, and it depends on how players are used.

Don't get the problem with Arundel, personally. I'm glad we've got him signed up, think he looked good when he had a run of games & will get better. He'd start next season with Crooks for me.

Good signing, we weren't the only club in for him either.
