your hysterical over reaction has led to mass hilarity on the dobbins board,well done

If you go back there and read a little more carefully, you'll find that they're all having a great laugh at our new signing. Just as we would be if they had carried out such an uninspiring bit of business.

It seems that most of them couldn't initially believe it either ! (and they know poor 2012 recruitment when they see it)

shows the lack of talent available at the moment IMO.

Murphy has just signed for the Giants so there was a quality centre available who is British, must also be a huge kick in the teeth for Turner the signing of Martin.

Perhaps Murphy didn't want to sign a one year contract and we want hell of alot better than Murphy anyways.

Very much doubt we could of signed him for a season anyways.

I doubt he would have done but there was better a player than Martin available to sign and Murphey is certainly one of them.

Shall we all just wait and see. All these negative comments must make him feel really welcome. Surely the time for any criticism (if needed) will be after we see him perform in our colours.

Don't forget the 2 players going to Wakey so Hudds could sign him.

Yeah, Murphy is a better player but like I said, why would Murphy want to sign for us when he knows we'd be looking at a top player in 2013? Whereas Martin at 33, this will probably be his last contract before he retires.
Very much doubt there was any chance we could of signed a young player such as Murphy for just one season.

Well said, what do we know he may be there just as back up and maybe mentoring Turner and Crooks in centre play, he may only get a couple of games. Judge him as you say 10 games in IF he plays.
