3 years? Wow. I guess as a negotiation Trinity split his desired wage over three years rather than two to make it more manageable but still it's a hell of a long deal for such an average player.

I'm content with this. Okay 3 is a little steep but he's got years ahead of him and for the most part did a good job for us this year.

Tim smith 1year
Riley 1 year

He may as well not bother turning up next season with the way a lot are carrying on on here.

It's funny that for all our signings, this one is getting a very cold response.
And I think it is more to has manner and his off field stories than his playing ability.

If he can get in to the team work ethic he could be very good for us and we could be very good for him.
Before his injury he looked like he would be a real star. He clearly hasn't lost it altogether and being back in a club like our could help him.

Problem is, we don't know for sure and it's hard to win over fans when they've made up their mind. I'm not the type to hold a grudge against a player, it's just a game after all, but I'll take some convincing that he is a Wakefield type player.

Owen improved when Tim Smith came into the team. With a good preseason I think he'll go well. He can also play wing or full back.

Forget about past off field antics and give the lad a chance.
Pre his injury he was far above 'average'.
Lets hope he can get it back!

A bit of hypocrisy from you PopTart starting another thread on Owen when you always criticise others for doing so.
