2014 - Rochdale 3 sub

I got it off Wiki ,Haven't the time to search all the clubs he's played for stats -still not the sort of stats I would want to help us in the next few weeks .,but if he does it on the pitch I would be happy, but looking back all the good props we have had (street etc) played more games than that lot put together every season, but we can only judge by Gregs play on the pitch ,so lets see how he does on Friday if he plays.

Doubt he'll play Friday, but possibly a decent long term prospect if he can show his potential

He's going to wish he hadn't signed, if he reads this site! I would suggest that 70 SL games at a top club, isn't bad going for a 22 year old. Of course, we could have done a HKR and persuaded a 34 year old half back (he'll be 35 by the start of next season) to join us?

They apparently have signed Masoe who played for Saints last season- now he is a massive player in every sense!!

Should be here anytime soon, apparently he's one of four on our radar.

Given Acton's suspension, the signing of Greg Richards has assumed greater importance.

Re: Greg Richards : Tue Jul 18, 2017 9:49 pm  

A welcome addition to the squad.

You can say that again..

The Watcher is thankful that we have signed a player young enough to make a tackle, release the tackled player without giving a penalty away & get back onside for more than the 1st 20 mins of the game. The Watcher is disappointed that the club does not appear to have learned from our previous time in SL, old players aren't the way forward, however this time we will get a 2nd chance in the form of the middle 8's.
