I doubt abdul had much choice. rovers and catalans not interested and most of the other teams in SL have better half back options. Too much of a risk. Slightly derisked if we are counting him as marquee but will still cost a hefty sum per game he plays

Martin definitely has another gear in him. Seen him in the reserves and he's rapid.

Never said he was. It was in reply to Kershaw has speed. If Martin isn't quick what does that make Kershaw who he left for dead

Surprised he hasn't used it when he's been in the clear then

Dun I but I've seen kershaw score a few long range tries. Martin less so

I mean he dusted Kershaw when we beat them back in Match

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.

Martin and Barron are quick. They've hunted down some speedsters when they've broken our line.

He's just sat there with his Red and White tinted glasses on!

No one said he's the best long term option but he's better than briscoe and ahead of martin and Barron right now. He would have given us a cheap option for a couple of years. Moot point anyway, he wasn't choosing us over rovers

IMO, but I'd have all three of those over him, like a poor man's Greg Eden

Depends if he wants to play rugby. He ain't getting on the wing ahead of Rovers first choice wingers next season unless injuries occur. You'd maybe say he'd get in our starting 13

I think he's better than all 3 of them currently but we all have our opinions. He's certainly no worse a signing than Ed chamberlain

Well he can't play any position than wing, so he probably is.

Chamberlain's utility value make him a decent squad player, but that's what he should be.

A below average centre and an even lower quality 2nd rower. Whoop de doo

But your suggesting we sign a below average winger.

Blimey. Having another pop at the club because we haven’t signed Lee Kershaw is stretching it a bit.

I'd suggest putting the London Vs Cats game on.
.
JA is the biggest I've ever seen him. It does not look good at all

Our running half back.

I cannot understand how a professional athlete can let himself go like that.

It's a good job we've got Cust signed for next year really to play alongside sezer in the halves, Abdul needs to have the pre season of his life to be fit for next season

He must have above 15kg to lose surely.

Even the commentator said "Don't be fooled he's a half back not a prop he's carrying a bit of weight"

It's almost as though we've signed someone who Rovers and Catalan you know two regular top6 teams didn't want..But it's oK fitness training at this club is elite, and Anlaby Road is filled with organic eateries
