If England stays fit, it's a very good signing. There must be a few concerns over whether he will though as he's no spring chicken and I may be wrong but don't think his recent injury record is all that great? Fingers crossed he's over it though as could make a big difference.
The idea he's the best signing in the Championship is a bit laughable. Hall, Winterstein & Tomkins I would argue are certainly better, others probably debatable. But I suppose it's also about what the squad is looking for. Widnes badly needed a hooker so Tomkins was a superb deal for them. Similarly England is a better signing for Bradford than just being a former SL player because the club are severely lacking experience and grunt in the pack.

Spot on Dilligaf, you can't leave out the context when coming up with "the best" signing. We badly needed a decent prop and we've signed an excellent one. It's top drawer, however you define it.
