If he gets fit he'll be an average prop in our league. Nowt more.
Not anywhere near the class of Tonks, Hill, Maloney, Dickens, Aizue etc.

He's a plodder with a similar diet to myself. I suppose there's a shortage of decent props at this level hence the interest in Paddy.
Morrison (if you get him) despite being smaller in stature has a much greater physical presence than Paddy.
Disguarded by Daryl Powell and unwanted by John Kear. - Karl takes a punt. Fair do's - and good on Paddy for securing another season's worth of income

Unwanted by John Kear, how'd you find that out? But I agree, I know he won't be a stand out prop (Hope he proves me wrong) but to be fair, a solid strong prop is just what we need. We still need to sign another stand out forward, but I'm happy with the Hesketh signing. If anything, he'd be a good replacement if Franky leaves, they seem to have a similar playing style.

Great signing, will give us competition in the back line we lacked last season.
Could Sean Hesketh be the next signing?

Hope not

I think Dickens, is underrated.
Obviously I only see him when we play Fev, but he always looks solid, nothing fancy, A hard worker.
And with the other thread, I also think Liam is a very solid player.
again I only see him when he plays against us, does he raise his game for that?
I don't think so. I would think he is like that week in week out.
A quality player.

Bit harsh, he spent the majority of the last two games concussed

For fear of appearing unkind, I was going to point out that he seems to have an annoying knack of being knocked out by his own team mates, but decided against!

But I think I might now have done that

That explains the straight replacement for Dylan, best he keeps clear of Sam in a tussle.

the second time he got concussion against fev was a freak accident and it was the fev second rows elbow he hit and it ripped his lip to bits, straight through and upto his nostrel it was a shocker, and left him in plastic surgery getting 20+sticthes,thats not an annoying knack its called a raised elbow or and accident

Was it not a collision with Craven trying to stop a try? And the first was Logan Tomkins at POR so he must have annoyed the teenagers in the group
