The owners of the club need to stop messing about with signings like this. It's not a trainset to play with. Publicity? For what purpose? We are already very well known as a mouthy, wealthy, yet perennially failing laughing stock. I would much prefer we go about our business quietly and thoughtfully.

The Andrew Johns signing, as big as it was for profile, was another complete gimmick. Sure it boosted shirt sales, made the news and increased attendance. But sporting wise few like to recall the last of his 3 games was a 40-6 home hammering by Hull FC to knock us out of the playoffs at the first round. The good old Cullen years.

I think KFP has a framed motto hanging behind his desk which reads 'If you're going to do business, do it quietly and thoughtfully'....or maybe not.

Not according to Abe.

I reckon everyone would agree to this.

Jiffy was a magnificent player poetry in motion but also a bit of a turnstile defensively in his 2-3 seasons with us.

Now The Ox on the other hand was the real deal in his 13 seasons with us.

I never said anything being a success.

I said ‘signing’..’to play at centre’.

Probably more like Andrew Johns over term, but he didn’t play centre.

Paul Cullen referenced to him as the ‘best defence player he’d ever played with.’

Davis would tell Cullen where he wanted him to be, and he would do his tackling for him.

His mind was reading the opposing plays way ahead of anyone else. Hence Cullen’s reasoning.

Errrmm, hang on a minute you said







The clear inference was a signing as impactful as that to Blake and Davies. I disagreed.



It would have made headlines as another gimmick I agree. As for ruffling feathers, I'd rather we leave our ruffling to the Grand Final.

I think he has a framed motto now that reads "STFU you narcissistic clown" to remind him daily to stop crowing.

No I didn’t. I wrote what I wrote.

I appreciate it could be perceived as leading to success, because the former 2 were successful in varying degrees.

But didn’t say that, I wrote a signing to play centre.

Nether Blake or Davis were centres, but their talent put them as 2 of the best centres at Wire I’ve ever seen.

So you are saying that Owen Farrell would have been "up there" with Blake and Davies as one of the best centres at Wire you've ever seen ?
