Quote: PAUL M "Reading the thread I think some of the complaints are that if we had money to spend then they would have rather seen it spent on a more needy position, scrum half. However the fact is we have already tried that with Myler and there are no other options available this season.

It's a really good signing and with Rovelli covering the halves then we look well equipped for next season. The club are aware that the halves will need addressing next season with Horne and Long both ooc but that is next season, we had the money and have signed a good player who could go on to be a star. Nothing to be unhappy about from what I can see.'"



Frequent references to Rovelli, Paul...

...you that confident we've signed him?

So you think rovelli is a done deal mate ? Let's hope we kick on and make a right go of next season and who knows rovwlli could be a good signing let's not forgot nrl is a higher standard so could stand out here

That's what I don't get though. I too would have preferred to see us buy a scrum half. Doesn't mean that's possible, and I think people need to realise we can't just click our fingers and make everyone dance to our tune.

Joe Westerman is young, British and talented.

He effectively cost us nothing unless you believe

1. the money would be better in the bank
2. we should have spent the money on anything but strengthening the playing squad
3. there is someone else who is available for a fee and would have been be a better signing.

Anyway, I'm off to the KC tomorrow to buy 3 season passes.

I'm quite surprised that he's come out with such bile. And from someone who thinks Agar is a super coach.

Ultimately as i've said earlier on this thread we've spent the money and it will be seen as a good or bad move based on performances over the coming seasons. If he is dire then i'd say we should have kept the money in the bank for someone better. If he is fantastic it's money well spent.

My only concern would be that spending this kind of money on a transfer might stop us being able to pay a large transfer fee for a player we really need. Before anyone comes back with the usual "who would you sign then" rubbish or "nobody is available" I'll just say that anyone is available for the right price and its not my job to identify them. The fact we have paid a fee for a player in a position that wasn't a massive priority just seems like it could be a wasted opportunity to me. I think some people are grasping at straws suggesting he will bring a more creative aspect to the team at 13 as he has never struck me a particularly creative player, perhaps I'm wrong about that though?

I'm not saying he is a bad player at all and if he had come free or the transfer fee paid would have zero impact on cash available for a more vital signing I'd be more than happy to have him in the team. I just hope we are not all sat here halfway through the season complaining about our style of play and lack of creativity yet again.
