I feel like we're starting to go backwards signing all our old players like Jacko etc. Wonder if we'll re-sign Boyle one day?

Orr has proven this season he can still cut the mustard and control a game. Having him spelling with hooker means we have someone coming off the bench and providing fresh ideas and momentum (which is what we need!)

Plus, it's an extra body at half-back if the dreaded injury curse arrives.

Totally agree about Orr. If he can do a job at hooker for us we'll be laughing. Hudson clearly can't manage the whole game and we're poorer when he's off the field.

I'm not so keen on the idea of Orr coming back. In my opinion his best days are behind him in, and appart from Cas I couldn't really see him getting a position at any other superleague club. I think that signing Orr would be for old time sentimental reasons, rather than to progress the team forward.

If we do then it should not be for anything more than a 1 year stop gap, whilst such as Brierly comes of age.

I agree. His best days are behind him.

Over the past year he has shown some good touches, but thats it. We need a younger, enthusiastic, talented player who has some SL (or NRL) experience.

I agree we need some back up and a more in depth squad and maybe Danny would be good for that. But we need someone more long term

But at what price ? minst brad made a return (wish we had a 25yr old davis)

I think Orr will be an awesome signing for you, playing at hooker

Re: New Signing : Tue May 25, 2010 5:28 am  

After watching Orr dismantle us down at The Stoop recently...I can't see how his signing would be a backwards step. The guy is at the top of his game at the minute, and would an excellent signing..IMO

Yes we do.

I don't think danny orr is past it, so is worth having back and i am sure he would bust a gut back in a Cas shirt. Danny has some great qualities and can do a role for us i am sure. Just look at the pensioner on mega money we have just offloaded, signing sherwin was a step back imho.
We could use Danny to bring on some young talent if he has signed..

Just to throw this into the discussion

Brent Sherwin: b 20.03.78
Danny Orr: b 17.05.78

That is all.
