| As far as McGoldrick is concerned you could have stuck a fork in him 2 years ago.
That said I will reserve judgement until we know his role. If he is cover for fullback and standoff then fine I can see his experience being useful but if he to form part of our 17 then it's as bad a signing as I can remember.
FWIW I think Horne will play FB and Holdsworth (a n other) will play SO he is likely to be cover.
Need some answers on this one.

Disappointing if one of the six deals for next season was him though the way they were talked about

If his role is cleaning the KC toilets then i will be happy, otherwise totally baffled and bemused.
All the bull about us signing Lovegrove and he signs on for Dobbins (suprise suprise) and we get this numpty.

| Awful, awful signing as I said yesterday, can't think of a time I've been more disapointted in a signing in my life.
Cant see any positives in this at all, goes against all that Pearson and Gentle have told us, I:E better than we have have and young and British etc.
We have just signed a 31 year Aussie who is one of the worst players in the worst team in the league ( that they didn't want to keep).
Was on big money at Cas and could count on the quota.
Very disapointted.
Lets hope he proves us all wrong.

Hardly comparable though.
I'd guess we've missed out on McDonnell, while I appreciate Lovegroves talents I don't see where he would fit in with us.

Ok
Pluses .. he can play anywhere within reason, he is tough, no one messes with him much and we do need some grunt, AND as shown in his last match he is a better player than most give him credit for.
Bad parts.. well hes a bad boy, likes his wine and women pure and simple, however so were a few of those in the past we hail as heros
its a done deal now so lets give the dude a chance and see how he goes, like i said i have a sneaky feeling that PG and AH know the kid better than any forum warriors so clearly they can see a shoe fit for him
welcome Goldie

| It must be so reassuring for hull fc fans that adam pearson and peter gentle are men of their words,"we will be signing young british talent" and ryan mcgoldrick fits the bill perfectly.!
I see the castleford fans are devastated to see him go.Cracking signing.!

I think we've got Paea which why we cooled on Lovegrove.

Bomber talks to agents and gets the deals done. Do you honestly think he is the sole decider of the clubs' recruitment?
And who said we wont be signing Rangi, or Holdsworth, or Brough or whoever? I seriously doubt he's on big money and has been brought in to play first team. Squad player at best, better then Ellis with more experience.
I'm no where near happy with the signing, but what's done is done and from what I'm hearing there are a few pleasant surprises to be announced come September 1st.

The only role I can see is covering FB and SO, we've lost Ellis and who knows maybe Nicklas. So I guess he could be the cover. If that's the case and we are not paying him much (like with Martin) then I can live with that.

| Could we have signed him to help out in the injury crisis this year and then pay him off at the end of the season?

If he's on quota then using as back up is a complete waste of time. Very very disappointing if true.

Why is it if AP and PG know the rest of our signings?
It's not like we've signed him instead of Paea.

No. Because it says in the paper we were going to bring him in next year anyway. As like Potts the deal has been done earlier because of injuries

Easily wound up though, so will be messed with to get a rise

Just the sort that were good in the 80s/90s are in the past and we're running a professional club where that sort of thing is off limits. Tansey liked "wine" too and was sacked. Players were banned from Weir Bar.
He's a penalty machine and copped a 2 match ban for a disgraceful high shot on Obst last year. He's already had a 2 match ban this season too.
If he can turn over a new leaf then fine, and I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt (and will support him if and when he pulls on the shirt), but this is not the type of signing to take us to the next level, or encourage bums on seats at the KC.

| I wonder if the official press release will call him 1 of the best players from the NRL never the receive rep honours which seems to be the standard line.
Thought Martin was a poor signing but this guy has got to be the worst signing of recent memory.

I can't think of a worse one. It's not like he's an unknown quantity, we've been watching him play gash for years!

However Martin is a good example to use because he came here with baggage , got a slap on the wrist and then has been a solid player for us since and has put in some great performances for us hanst he
Whilst Goldie is never going to be the Benji Marshall of the team he is certainly a tough nut, can play rugby , has a great engine and can cover many positions and somewhat similar to rich W in many ways but a tad faster .... and will be i assume cheap too
TBH even though I am shocked by the signing like everyone else i have to admit to being intrigued by it also and have to say Andy Hay will know him better than anyone on here eh so lets trust in the team in charge till proved wrong.
got a feeling he could turn into a firm favourite to be honest ...... and clearly not the last of our signings is he!

Thats the misconception though he isnt gash at all but has been a cheap shot merchant in the past , but far from gash...and anyone who levels Maguire is good enough for me LOL. i am glad i am not the only one interested to see how this pans out though both on and off the field!!
I trust AH to know him better than we do ....
