Good signing, if he can stay fit.

JC hasn't had a lot of injury problems in the last few years. He had a ankle problem which kept him out of the Wembley side in '09, other than that he's been ok. He will push your forwards around the park well, has a more than decent kicking game and a good defender.
Best of luck to him.

And what's wrong with Jon Clarke? quality player, model professional. Coming from the wire is irrelevant. Pickers does have a hot head but as he has shown several times this year, when he directs it properly he is a wrecking ball. Nor do I see why Cullen is particularly inept. With all due respect you sound offensively parochial.

Yeah cullen is inept,the last two seasons speak for themselves,the players he has brought to the club says it all. As for PIckersgill being a wreaking ball he could'nt wreck a good sunday dinner,hot head maybe, CRAP definitely. Parochial no,honest in the opinion that it is a case of jobs for Cullens boys.

I am not sure why bringing in Jon Clarke fits in to this. We needed a super league quality hooker, we got one. I'm not over the moon about pickersgill either but let's not pretend there is some sort of conspiracy behind all this. Be reasonable. We've signed clubs from a few clubs so far, the only bias appears to be crusaders and it's not difficult to work out why we've been signing theirs.

Apparently three players constitutes jobs for the boys. Players who happen to have been at Warrington when Cullen was. Hmmmmm.

3 players, two of which are contracted for next season, one of which is involved in one of the best squads in super league right now.

It's only pickersgill I'm personally sceptical of as well but it's a joke moaning about "jobs for the boys" isnt it?
