Sorry to steal MR's thunder. I was digging around for an English equivalent to ZDC and thought of Paul McShane at Cas for comparison. He is 1.68cm tall and weighs 81kg, so an inch shorter and a stone lighter than ZDC, making McShane an anorexic shortarse by comparison.

Height and weight wise he's very similar to Mickey Higham

Reminds me of Issac Luke, obviously not ability wise

Re: New signing : Tue Mar 28, 2017 7:05 pm  

Johnson is a bit of a strange signing IMO, seems one for the future and a bit of a project, which Roverscseem to have loads of, I would have though you needed experience and size(which Hudds fans claim he doesn't have).

Yes we need a prop who is aggressive and able to offload the ball like many other teams do I can't understand this signing too when we have young George Milton who never gets a look in .Also I thought we would have gone for Luke page or why can't we sign a unknown Tongan like other teams do always turn out to be great players.

TS obviously feels Josh will add something to the squad and is what we need at the moment.

I know what you mean. Even after the signing of Kavanagh, I think there's room for another prop, but I'd ideally have liked another Scruton type. Just finding and attracting them, innit? Or maybe focusing on youth is part of the plan.

I've not seen much of Johnson, so fingers crossed. Hopefully he's a bit ahead of some of the real projects like Milton, and maybe someone like Mulhearn too.

What info you haven't told us anything

Re: New signing : Wed Mar 29, 2017 9:15 pm  

Half back possibly the guy from Huddersfield who's being told he can go. And for a forward possibly page or halal or going cheap getting Harrison leaves quota spot

Re: New signing : Wed Mar 29, 2017 10:59 pm  

A half back and a forward.....that will be Johnson and Clay then.
Clay looks a player. Cover at halves d hooker is needed. Disappointed for Harris and Jubb but promotion is the priority this year I suppose.
