I don't want to say too much really until he's had a chance to play and prove himself. He has the ability as some have said, it's just whether he shows it. We are not the club we once were and can't compete with Saints who have made two big signings already, but we all know that. We have had some terrible luck with injuries and yes BJ is not a bad short term fix for our club and where we are at the minute. He is obviously not being brought here as part of any long term plan. My main worry is with all the injury woes we have had....is bringin someone in with a fairly bad recent fitness history what we need? Who knows...I hope he stays fit and sorts out our lack of creativity. If I'm honest I want to see him making sure the ball gets out wide a little more. A lot of teams are being caught out wide defensively this year...not just us (though we seem to be particularly bad out wide) and all it takes is some shifting of the ball. it would be nice to see us bring some dummy runners in too aswell.
If only I could win the lottery and help the club out...although that would mean playing it first!
He'd come for the same contract and wage if it meant he'd definitely be in a job in 2012. Unlikely the Wakey will be in SL for 2012 in all honesty. Look we can all think of players we'd rather have, but I'm satisfied he'll do a decent job for us. The recruitment for next year needs a dramatic increase in quality though.
Ben Jeffries, we've been here before. Not the greatest by any means but does have some great games. A bit of pace which we're lacking in the halves and a damn site better than Herbert. Hopefully he can strike up a partnership with Briggs but that doesn't look like it's going to happen. Hopefully we can bring in a quality 6 next year with Jeffries playing at which I think is his best position, but I wouldn't bank on that either.
I'd be very surprised if we offered him more than what he was on at wakey, maybe the offer to play for Bradford again was too good to turn down, as i recall he really didn't want to leave us in the first place, can't blame him really! wb BJ! there's a lot worse half backs out there we could have brought in at such short notice!
