I'll give the lad his due. I bet he is a player with most percentage goal kicks this season. Nanyn being a close 2nd. But unfortunately, he is a little one-dimensional with the ball in hand.

Re: Danny Jones : Sun Sep 25, 2011 1:03 pm  

Jonesey always tried and wore his heart on his sleeve. But the question is "Would you be concerned to see a player playing AGAINST your team?" The obvious answers with the likes of Makka and Penky would be a resounding "YES", and I was glad to see Handforth not return for the 2nd half when we played Batley.

But would I be concerned to see Danny oppose us? No, not at all. Very "bland" in attack, even though his goal kicking got better as the season progressed. Cannot seeing him being offered a contract, but wish him all the best wherever he might end up.

In which case it will have to be a massive turn around in form. I know Blacky's had his injury problems, but all in all not being an automatic choice for one of the half back positions really says it all, especially when there's been no real competition for the spot. Were Handforth or Roonie ever played from the bench? I doubt it (unless they were returning from injury). Blacky had a good season two years ago and before I get swamped by mad hysteria .... yes ... he dropped "that" goal in last year's GF.

I sincerely wish Ben all the best at Batley. And I will certainly applaud his re-appearances at the Shay. But I think their fans will be expecting too much and will end up disappointed.

What He said,

I'm actually a little concerned about whats going on at Batley, a club who have run on a tight budget are suddenly signing or talking to players who don't come cheap, hope they don't get too excited having finished 3rd and break the bank trying to better it.

If Danny Jones was to move and play against us next year, then good luck to him, Keighley could well be back in this league...

Other than Ben Black we have carried on with exactly the same recruitment policy as we have for the past few seasons, young lads from the lower division or from SL academies. All of the other stuff is hearsay!

...

Maybe Ben Black's deal is less than the one offered to the person he replaced?
