That's exactly what you get with him.
He's a very useful impact player, but his distribution from DH is awful.
I'm sure he'll do well and will be popular for a while.
But when things are going against you, he will very quickly become a target.

To be fair, we get slow distribution from Houghton now without the running game so he might be an improvement.

The club has got big hopes for Denive Balmforth so he'll help bridge the gap till he's ready I guess

That is almost any of our players. If we had 13 Ellery Hanley's we'd be scapegoating them on a weekly basis.

Confirmed as a Hull FC player tonight

Oddly they also announced that they’ve extended Houghton and Lovodua, I suppose the latter can play loose forward but seems a bit odd when Dwyer has presumably gone for game time.

Dwyers gone because he's not been offered a contract, I presume his role will be pretty similar off the bench as at leeds.

doing what he feels like?

Amazing how differently he's viewed on the Farcebook groups etc.

He always puts in the effort, so I assume it looks good to them?

Love Brett Hodgson's quote on signing Dwyer and extending Houghton. Says it all.
"He can be a good foil for someone like Houghton who delivers real quality and consistency in his defensive work and distribution, whilst Brad can bring pace and flair"
In other words, Dwyer does not bring consistency in his defence and distribution.....

Facebook groups are a different breed! Apparently Marty’s on there all time now……can’t quite believe it!

It emphasises how little people understand in terms of what is actually needed to be a good 9.

A bit of flash and some dogged defence is enough for those that don’t understand how a 9 effects the timing of the rest of your attack. And that’s not to say Dwyer always messes it up, but his inconsistency has, for me, become as infuriating as his lack of decision making. I suppose what I mean by that is if he played the same as the other week when he started I could have seen him still being here.
