The good the bad and the ugly signings of 2017

Number one worst signing is very interesting

Farah has been an OK signing this year. The bargain price has been the biggest positive. I still don't understand why Madge showed no faith in cook though especially after the end of last year. I feel sorry for the bloke.

Yea maguire could have at least started cook in a few games this year

Oh wait...

Farah has been okay, but thats it... just okay. We need more from him. He hasn't lived up to the hype at all.

Not at the moment. P.Hunt is still young

 

[Travitoh]

Terrible article. 4 of the 5 'ugly' signings were low cost and for depth purposes with the exception being a freak injury.

Big wraps on him? How old is he?

There were big wraps on Whitelaw too and look how that turned out lol.

Yeah there's a lot of players who struggle to adapt to the pace of first grade but there's some players who just relish it!

Yeah--some players do find it difficult to cement a place in first grade--look at Cook for EG. he was 24 yrs old before he could string a few games together in firsts & that was due to an injury to Lichaa a couple of season's back-----he is still struggling to get a top & permanent spot!!
He's doesn't quite have the goods to be a top flight hooker---he lacks the vision,the brain or the craftiness.
He's now 26 yrs & has probably only ever started in a handful of games in his whole career.

He made his debut in 2013 with 2 games from the bench for Saints.
In 2014,when Lichaa was injured he filled in quite well, I thought,at the time

But,IMO,he hasn't shown much improvement;certainly not in the cagey,crafty area!!
