All I would say is... he turned down an offer from Widnes expecting to be snapped up by a SL club... he ended up at Rochdale where he has been since.

I think that says it all really. No better than what you have already... unless you are going to do a Salford and claim him as your own and publicise that you brought him through the Academy etc

Re: Michael Ostick : Thu Apr 01, 2010 2:28 pm  

Not really big enough for a prop but has reasonable defence.

Re: Michael Ostick : Thu Apr 01, 2010 2:35 pm  

Well we only have a couple props doing anything at the moment so hopefully be a good addition!!

Half our props can't do more than 10 minute spells!!

Unfair id say. The offer from Widnes was pants and I think he was let down by SL clubs after that.

Still good enough for this league. Been standing out down at Rochdale.

I love watching Dave Houghon but Ozzy is further ahead development wise (...I appreciate he is somewhat older).

Tries hard but just not big enough, his defence can also be dodgy at times. In one of his last games for us - the play-off against Whitehaven, he was awful and his missed tackles on our line lead to 2 Whitehaven tries and very nearly cost us the game.

Plently of promise though and should go well in a decent team.

He was that bad you offered him a contract

We offered him a reduced contract. Did you read V4E's post? He said he would go well for you.

If your having a pint by the side of the pitch just keep your eye on it as he's a renowned mine - sweeper when he's warming up lol.
