John Davies signs for Sheffield. : Mon Sep 15, 2014 10:28 pm  

23 year old second row forward from Batley Bulldogs. A straight replacement for Matty Garside, but Davies can kick in-play as well. He's played stand off for Batley sometimes too so a bit of cover for Briggs if he gets injured. With most of the current squad signed up for next year, we're getting a half decent team.

An excellent signing,and like Matt Garside,also coached by Dave Woods,earlier in his career.

I seem to recall he may be the original 40/20 - as when he was 20,with his loss of hair and beard growth, some suggested his appearance resembled that of someone aged 40.

A 100%er who as Danny has indicated above,skilled in many facets of the game.

Get your season ticket now....

Half decent that means you will finish half way in the League , and go in the bottom group at the end of the season .

I'm modest Charlie, I think we'll be fine next season. Assembling a half decent squad as I say, a couple of more players and I think we can compete.

I agree , I to think you will be fine next year , my only criticism is your lightweight pack , where I feel you are dominated , everyone knows you have skilled backs who like to swing the ball out and run , but your pack cant boss other teams around which has been why your season has been poor .

To say our pack is lightweight, we've coped alright in the last month or two against teams such as Fev and Donny. We nearly caused a shock at your place also. The lads seem to be enjoying their rugby a lot more, not a coincidence we've had such an upturn in form.
