Good signings. Pitts a back rower but can play at prop so a good signing. Happy with Arundel. While we may have Some depth, we conceded 132 points in last two games so its not as if they are playing well. Its another player that wont cost us anything (i presume) not Really a downside. Henry is struggling defensively as well.

I guess there has to be some advantage in having ex-Bulls coaching all over SL...

Re: New Signings : Fri Apr 25, 2014 10:24 am  

Weren't we in the hunt to sign Pitts in the off season?

Re: New Signings : Fri Apr 25, 2014 10:38 am  

Think minimum initial loan is one month with no recall option so at least we can plan round them being available for next four weeks, unlike our 'season long' loaners. By end of that month we should be getting some bodies back plus it's around time any overseas recruits could feasibly arrive.

With you for rest of season but subject to recall according to FC website. Expect both will be with you for full period as we have sufficient cover, with another player arival imminent.

Arundel is a good centre, definite SL quality and IMO better than what you've got. Quick, good feet and can find a gap.

Pitts is a very good 2nd rower with excellent defence and very good hands for a forward. Can play prop, but if you lack size, he's not your man.
Two very good signings for you, and although they're initially on loan I reckon both would be available permanently.

Interesting. I've been thinking that a method of signing someone permanently for us may well be via an initial loan spell. That way they can sell themselves to the club and visa versa. Try before you buy!

Re: New Signings : Fri Apr 25, 2014 11:36 am  

win win for me both get SL game time and hopefully help get the Bulls away from the bottom 2.
Both too good to be at Donny (with all due respect). I believe their's a quality centre in Arundel waiting to be unleashed and with Pitts 100% reliable and real good grafter.

Happy with them two - if anything adds depth to the squad - thanks to the Airlie birds
