He’s back.

Never saw that one coming.

Really interesting to see how he goes under Peet.

Replaces Hanley in the squad but can provide options at 6 & 7 too rather than just outside backs.

Could be a very useful addition hope he has recovered from injury and it hasn’t had an effect on his pace.

Re: Rocky : Fri Jan 27, 2023 9:01 am  

I imagine he’s on a low wage and he adds needed cover in the halves but it’s a very uninspiring signing.

Re: Rocky : Fri Jan 27, 2023 9:06 am  

Played well for Cas last year before he got injured and we do need more squad depth.

Not one to get excited about but its low risk and hopefully he turns out to be a useful option for us.

Peet will know all about him having brought him through at Wigan as a junior.

If he lets him play his game with his eyes up then I think he could be a very useful addition.

Just when you thought the club had rid itself of its addiction to signing ex-players........

Happy enough with this.

Unintelligent people on twitter sounded off like all the Bateman money has been used on this.

A free agent without a club so will be on a very low salary (I praised Russell signing at Warrington for similar reasons).

Adds to squad depth. Ultility.

Low risk signing.

Peet and the staff will know him well.

Sports fans and twitter really do not mix well.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts there.

Adds depth and a reliable backup option to call upon. Also, it's pretty much a given that he'll be on a cheap wage.

To add another level, I'm hoping this + the recent Eckersley performance gives the club enough comfort to explore the possibility of moving Miski on. Nothing against the lad, but we've got money available to spend and just need that quota spot.

Plenty of highlights packages on YouTube if people want to check out.

Like Jonh has said if he still has his pace he could be an asset.

2 months away from being fully fit.
