beswick is 26 - hardly over the hill... still i cant comment on his ability as ive never seen him play

Everything positive just hope they are decent signings the likes of dowes, rayleigh, wood , beswick, kermit would these guys make a difference really?

Re: The Five Signings : Fri Oct 07, 2011 12:51 pm  

Raleigh and Kirmond will

Re: The Five Signings : Fri Oct 07, 2011 12:54 pm  

I think only Beswick would be a total waste. Rest of the bunch could do a job.

Just checked that out, 27 in early december. Thought he qwas a touch older than that but doesn't alter the fact that if he was going to get a go in superleague in should have been 3 or 4 years ago. As for ability, IMHO not as good as either Howarth or Washbrook at loose and not as effective as Ellis, Wildie or Davey at hooker. And if Wood does sign then he'd be a better option there as well. Put it this way, he's a similar style of player as Peter Lupton who is looking for a club, just that Beswick not up to superleague speed and doesn't have as much versility.

Elston suggests that we tried to keep smurph. If we did but were realistically unable to do so I can live with it

Play him at hooker and he will be ok. Unfortunately we didnt have much choice as at times he was our main half back who we needed to lead us around the park, something he couldnt quite manage on a consistant basis, which was dissapointing after a promising start to the season.

His defense and general play in the centre of the park if playing there consistently, will be far better im sure, than we have seen this year, although i cant see him playing much unless you get injuries?

Best moment: Putting Ben Westwood flat on his back with a belting shot that got a pat of appreciation from Ben himself at the resulting scrum.

That's a very fair and reasonable assessment - I concur completely.
