It's good news for us, I'm not so sure it's good news for him.

I was very pleased when we signed him from Wire, he was a very hot young prospect who came over here as his pathway was blocked and he needed game time, I don't think it's really worked out for him. Yes he's had injuries but I think a change of club might have done him good, Smith has obviously persuaded him that this is the right decision for him and when he turns into Georgie "Ginner" Fairburn v2.0 I'll be the first to be pleased to be wrong, as well as my Mum because she loved Gorgeous Georgie.

Dagger seems like a good kid, still young, still learning, I'm sure he'll get plenty of game time over the next two seasons whilst learning from Coote

My thoughts exactly. Dagger is only 22. In a couple of year time he 'll be only 24 whilst Coote will be 34 and likely hanging up his boots. Dagger can only improve during those two years while learning of Coote and also been available to cover should Coote get injured. Dagger can also cover other positions so is likely to get plenty of game time .

He does look sharp, maybe he should have a stab at it.

Get out.
