He got a hatrick... only 6 tries this season though

Bit of a meh signing (mind you i thought that about Johnny Campbell) looks decent on the highlights (but you'd expect that for a winger) seems to have decent awareness though on his highlights providing aome good assists.

I really hope Ryan Butterworth gets a crack next year. Looks the real deal.

I’d be surprised if they didn’t give butterworth another year in the academy he’s only 17 or 18

Yeah Butterworth is still eligible for U19s next year.

While we do need some cover on the wing I think our main areas that need strengthening are in the pack where we are too inexperienced.

I remember Fogging-Johnston very well to be honest, he was a very lively winger and very quick, reminds me a little bit of a shorter, more slightly built version of Touyo Egodo. Decent player, imo.

My thoughts too.

Im not really a fan of what I deem "project" signings. Plenty of projects in our own ranks.

I would have loved Campbell to stay. Got everything you need in a winger

Campbell would've been better, more versatile too. DFG seems to only have played on the left wing. Can't see him displacing Ethan Ryan.

After DFG signed up for us I had a look on You Tube to see if he had any highlights. There was a decent video on there put up by his agent ShowMeTheMoneyUk (Craig Harrison). He makes sure his players have decent highlight reels on You Tube and he can often been seen around the club, he’s been co-commentating with Mick recently too.

He represents the following Bulls players if the videos on you tube are anything to go by: DFG, Milnes, Storton, Wilson, Brining, Bustin, Scurr, Foster, Egodo, Hodgson, Vaznys, Garside, Hallas, Reiss Butterworth, Wood and Milton. That’s 16. The majority being younger lads.

He also seems to represent Matty Wildie.

A very influential bloke by the looks of it. We seem to be his pet club.

To be honest there are only a small number of player agents in operation as far as I'm aware so the likelyhood is that we will have to deal with this guy quite a lot anyway.
