It's only 2 weeks and knowing Huddersfield it's probably a freebie. I think plenty of the supporters know what we want but so late into the season getting players is going to be difficult especially with having no quota spots. I also think the way that things are at the club, no money will be available , So it's just a matter of accepting any scraps that may come along.
Let's hope and pray something happens,

Sam is a good player but were already playing a 2nd row forward out of postion

Re: Sam Hewitt : Sat Mar 11, 2023 10:51 am  

Well getting Sam is in no way 'accepting scraps'.
This lad is quality and I'm sure you'll all warm to him. Skill, speed and a heart like a dustbin lid.
Good luck.

I’m almost past caring but personally, a half back with half a brain cell wouldn’t be a bad shout.

Sorry but I didn't mean it in that way, no doubt he is good. It's just a matter of picking up bits and bats should we get the chance, rather than going out a getting what we really need.

No slight meant against the lad, I'm sure he's a cracking player, but a back rower who is excellent defensively is far down the list of whilst we need. Will he be dislodging Pitts, if not its a pointless signing.

Sam is a fantastic player and will massively improve your squad.

You were supposed to be doing a deal for Olly Russell too once Jake Connor was back but with Theo Fages getting injured that is probably going to be off now.

Re: Sam Hewitt : Sat Mar 11, 2023 7:47 pm  

Hewitt is not just a defensive player, he has got good attacking skills too, and scores his share of tries. Earlier in his career he made too many mistakes and that limited his first team appearances, but if we hadn't have signed Rushton and Harvey Livett (no idea why we signed Livett he adds zero to our team and we have loads of cover for that position), Hewitt would probably be a fixture on the bench for us this year. Hope the move isn't made permanent as he is a player with a great future ahead of him

I brought Sam from football where he was highly regarded to Rugby when he was 12 and then coached him at community, school and Academy level.

He has a great force of character, aggression and positivity which he spreads to his team mates. As has already been said by others he gives nothing less than 100% in everything and crucially the more the adversity builds the more he doubles down and gets stuck in to the opposition and his own team if necessary. I’d want him stood with me in a battle!

He has good footwork, reads plays very well on both sides of the ball and has an equally good attacking game as defence.

I don’t know if this is a compliment or not but Wigan have tried to take him from Huddersfield numerous times since he was 16. They (Matty Peet) saw a bit of Jon Bateman in him.

Anyway, I hope he goes well during his stint at Trinity

Looks to me that he can also play centre according to some reports, now that is a position we are struggling with at present imo.
