Hope not to be honest, I'm hoping we haven't missed the boat on half backs again.

Re: Simon Brown to Fax? : Mon Sep 02, 2013 3:10 pm  

Was overheard before yesterdays game informing a few people he has, indeed, joined yourselves for 2014.

Could be a good signing.Remember Mark Aston been
upset when he left Sheffield.Im intriged as to who the
significant signings KH mentioned are now.

From memory this lad has a good kicking game but can't remember much else. Unless Charlie knows as he seems to know everything else!!!!!

I'm currently on holiday in turkey but catching up where I can, read the courier article entitled one in five, I mean seriously Karl, Fev and Sheffield favourites as finished 1st and 2nd and we are probably third favourites. You should have been a bookie, that should only read we are confident and full of confidence!!. No wonder the teams confidence hit the floor only a month back. It's player recruitment last year that's to blame and not getting playmakers in, that's your job, so FFS be confident get the fans confident in you as a coach and tell the world it's "our year" again, and for god sake lets recruit well for next year.

On recruitment in this weeks RL press KH just says that there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes but things take time and no need to panic.

A lot no doubt will become clearer once the season is finally over which for us hopefully will not be anytime soon.

Simon Brown is a very dangerous player with a good kicking game - he would be a good signing IMHO

Re: Simon Brown to Fax? : Tue Sep 03, 2013 10:05 am  

decent kicking game yes, decent goal kicker yes...dangerous ? He does not take the line on at all in a game and in the last 3 years he has only scored 4 times which is a pretty poor return for any half back.
Whilst he will certainly offer a better kicking game than Thackery he certainly wont chip in with the 10-15 tries per season that Thackery has done consistently, and that in general most top championship half backs do....

Reeks of a panic buy. Theres got to be a young half back on the fringes in SL or even an Aussie who we could sign to do a better job hasnt there?

People thinking the play is boring this year wont be excited at the prospect of Brown and Mennell coming in to the team.
