And that explains his poor form and bad discipline as well?

Bad form? He's only played in a few matches this year but he's our 3rd best try scorer, only after Shenny and Carney.

18 months ago I would have given him a lift over to bell view but he really seems to have turned things around to the point where I have been questioning his omission from games this season, he has been solid defensively and scoring for fun and looks like the Richie Owen of old before the leg break, give him a chance if he has signed, I am sure he will do a decent job for you

:shock: thought this would happen one reason I didn't post this when I heard, reading some of your post make me believe you could do a better job

I've no problems with him as long as he tows the line and knuckles down

I heard this rumour about a week to ten days ago.
Was one of Cas's bright young things a few years ago.
If he is on an inflated contract maybe it was a bit too soon for him.
Probably been looking to try to put things right after what happened but has fallen down the pecking order.
We all know what throwing big contracts at unproven players leads to!

I havent seen him but wasnt he meant to be the next best thing 2/3 years ago or whenever it was? I presume it went a bit pear shaped then?

Re: New Signing : Wed May 14, 2014 8:58 pm  

If he pulls off tackles like he did on Cockayne at MW a couple of year back welcome aboard!
Same complaints when Ben signed for us and look how he turned out.

He was tipped for England as a future star at full back, horrible double leg break at Bradford and never looked fully recovered until this season. If true you have a good player if (and it's a 50/50 call) his head is screwed on now

Not sure if we are trying to help you or hinder you.
He has been in decent form this year but not sure whats in it for us or whether he is any better than what you already have.

Re: New Signing : Wed May 14, 2014 9:26 pm  

Had the "pleasure" of his company.
Easily one of the most arrogant kids I have come across.

Richard Owen, terrible banter, beats uo people who are dressed as Santa.

In all seriousness though, think he's changed his ways, young family, keen to get his head down but behind Carney Dixon and clare.

Played good Friday and bagged 2 and set one up, he will score trys mark my words. He is now playing for his future in Super League. He will make clangers but his try scoring record is decent, whilst a numnut at times I can't help but like him. So with that, if he signs Wakefield will become my second team
