It's a gamble similar to taking Ricky Bibey from the championship or Richard Moore off a building site in Bradford.

Ricky Bibey a bit similar , however Richard Moore was much younger, still had many years left and something to prove, totally different in his case

Bibey & Moore are the same age.

Bibey and Moore were relatively injury free, Bailey isn't.
Not a gamble we can take, even if things get desperate.
Would have rather sign Tickle.
When JK was last in charge, he brought in Bibey, Sculthorpe, Pryce and Fox from his 2003 England squad.
Ferres was also acquired from Bradford and Wilkes and Grix signed from Widnes when they went bust straight after their NFP Grand Final loss.
I hope that JK can unearth some more like these that he knew how to get the best out of.

Neither were injury prone and 33 by the start of the season when they came to Trinity unlike Bailey who may follow others before him to clubs like Featherstone. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard ... gby_league) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Bibey Cox at 24 is a different proposition and played 18 games for Warrington this season. It comes down to CC and JK though, CC was happy that Cox moved on at Hull KR and didn't give him much game time there so it makes you wonder.

Exactly the same age and to be honest the same case. Bibey is one of the most under rated forwards we have ever had at BV, had he had an Aussie accent some on here would be calling him a legend.

And you know this how, you've spent to long talking to Belly

Personally think you're wrong but for now it's speculative but for me if he dons the RW&B all is forgiven and he's a superstar in my book.

Agreed - always made the hard yards, always a starting prop, very rare did you see him fall on his ass.

Took the ball up, made his yards, fell on his belly and a quick play the ball.

Very underrated.

I'm also a Dwyer fan. I think he would be a good fit for us, young and hungry.
