So do I.



Would be nice to see him with a bit of grit and determination.

If we had based our opinion of most of our squad on there first four appearances we,d not still have two thirds of them.

TheButcher has been on our forum quite a lot and always gives a balanced viewpoint on what he sees.

I can't believe, all of a sudden he is the devil incarnate for giving his opinion on a player that he's seen more than us!

I like Salford as they are similar to us, perennial strugglers but now they have a good squad and shaking the big boys up like us.

Can only be good for the game.

I agree Fickle

We get a lot of trolls from other clubs but TheButcher is always a welcome poster.

When I saw that Salford had picked him up I was a little jealous as I think he's a good player!



Hope he now proves me right in a Trinity shirt!

His integrity isn't the issue so why are you making it so?



The question is can you seriously judge a player on four games, I can't. Evidence suggests no on on this forum ca - see Tupou as latest example.



So an you judge a player on four games?

I thought Jarrad Hickey gave us enough info after his first appearance.

Yep and he also got more than four go's at it. I thinkMr Hickey's issues were not RL related - if this guy arrives 5 stone overweight then yo may have a point

It's fair enough if you think nobody can judge a player after four games. The fact here is that is what I have to go off, plus a scattering of NRL appearances. I was just offering an honest opinion to supporters of the club he's joining. I don't think I said anything truly awful and was hopeful that he'd do well for you. I understand the tribal mentality of taking the side of your club/coach. I've done the same thing. In fact, I did the same thing when Hasson arrived at Salford. I was a little baffled by the signing but gave Watson/Salford the benefit of the doubt. Turns out it wasn't a good fit for either Hasson or the club.



All I was doing, vastman, was offering an opinion. I'm not bothered either way what you think of it. After all, he may be the next best thing for you and turn out to be the buy of the season.



He'll definitely have a blinder against us in the super 8's, guaranteed!

I accept that just didn't think you had much to go on. As for the blinder tends not to work that way for us in my experience so I wouldn't worry

Alternatively, my comment was nothing to do with yours and I was just agreeing with the poster who said he was a good guy.

Some people would come on here with the same information just to wind people up. I don't think he did so I said so.

Maybe the change of club is what James needs, Tim Smith played a lot better for us than with Salford
