I'm pretty sure he was involved in the England/GB system before his injury, so I'm far from sure how anyone could really describe him as 'crap', since it's clear he had some ability at that time and was performing at a decent level. On the negative side he's [for whatever reason] fallen off the radar a bit and there must be a reason.

Worth a punt? Dunno, but if it didn't prevent the signing of the 'strike' centre we could really do with, I wouldn't actually be against it. As I guess he'd not exactly be going to be on a cap busting salary and I'd expect Franny to be a bit more aware of the background than I am, I'd go along with his views.

Still seems very much an outside bet though..

Looked like a really promising player 2-3 years ago, but he won't be topping many Santa's lists any more.

I rated Owen a few seasons ago, I thought he'd be cracking by now. I still keep an eye out for him to come good. As for having him at Odsal, I would've said yes but I think we're ok for wingers and outside backs (specialist centres aside). However just reading Bulliac's post and misreading his "Dunno", I suppose I always likened him to the outside back equivalent of Donaldson.
