Richard Owen : Sat Sep 07, 2013 8:58 pm  

Rumours on facebook that we've signed him and also ben evans has agreed another year on loan.Anyone heard owt about this, would be two more good signings for mine.

Looked a decent prospect a couple of years ago. Not seen much of him recently, is he at FB or on wing?

Averages about a try every 2 games not a bad record.

I dont rate him, I never have. But he seems a Cummins type of signing. He did have some potential before he got injured. Lets hope he can extract some performance from him if it's true.

Wire fans have posted about Evans loan being extended so suspect that's correct. First I've heard about Owen and can't see where he'd fit in squad.

After what we saw from Naughton tonight why would the club want him?!

Re: Richard Owen : Sat Sep 07, 2013 10:33 pm  

Agree... Naughton looked a real prospect!!

Owen looked to be a real rising star a few years back until the injury, ironically sustained at Odsal, which seemed to set him back. certainly not been the same since and I'd be surprised if we've signed him.

Owen has played wing, and centre as well as full back. I think he would make a decent centre but Franny would have to work on his mindset (drinking culture not helped his recovery from the bad injury) .

What does make me think this is possible is the fact that Franny said he wanted some projects and he would come under this for me. he is strong, fast and has good hands - could he learn the art of being a good centre and putting your winger away and being defensively strong? A change of environment might make him improve.
