I don't know much about Dawson but apparently he's a typical Brown type player. He's big, at 95kg and reportedly very quick.

Only two things concern me about this signing: the injury that apparently entailed a doctor defying return, and whether he would usurp Makinson who (as everyone knows) I believe is worth a starting spot, preferably on the left wing with Percy and Manu.

I certainly hope not! The left side partnership of Manu, Percy and Makinson has been very good this year.

I think Brown sees a partnership between Makinson and Percival long term so I'm fairly certain you'll be happy in that respect next year. Why he didn't stick to that last night and just slot Meli in on the right wing I'm not sure.

Looks like he was hot property as a 19-20 year old but has had his development curtailed by injury. If he can understand the difference between his posterior and his elbow and can outrun a stationary object then he will be one of our top wingers straight away.

I'd rather have Matt Dawson off question of sport

Re: Matt Dawson : Tue Jun 04, 2013 7:40 pm  

Who?

Remember when we had the likes of Darren Albert, Anthony Sullivan and Alan Hunte on the wings?!

Like I've been saying, this squad is very very poor. Most fans are kidding themselves if they think we are a top team. Only one player in the England squad shows how poor we are.

Wonder if we can officially sign the bloke before people slag him off?
