To be fair Rupert has had the pleasure of watching the world-class hooker that is Ben Fisher over the past years and his standards are too high for anyone to live up to.

He'll go well.

I like Godwin, always gives 100% but would be behind L'Estrange & Diskin in the pecking order.

wagga is has honest has the days long and while he wont set the world on fire his work rate his top draw and he`s a ready made replacement for malcolm alker.

he is a top bloke off the field to boot who will do his fair share in community work and has always been approachable.

Be a shame if we have lost out on Latu, start with Godwin, then Latu to spark that play ball area up after the first 25 mins or so. I was always a little curious on Latus ability to have that impact if we had had to play him for 80 mins. That play of the ball area is so key to sparking everything I just hope that Godwins the man.
Both playing for us great, if he is gone then we still have just the one seasoned hooker starting the season which is the one area most agreed we needed to strengthen.

Both Godwin and Latu are not 80 minute hookers (there is not many 80 minute hookers left in the game). But given that to win some games by having that bit more of a spark or edge when needed Latu would prove more of a match winner than Godwin. Yes Latu is a bit of a hot head but adds a bit more power to a side when needed.

Maybe Godwin was released by Bradford on compassionate grounds ... maybe because he's homesick?!

Far to subtle

[iI'm sure he will fit in well down at the Willows.

WHO'S NEXT ?

Sorry for the thread drift guys.

But I did see Fisher recently rip the most fearsome pack up in the league(well according to most FC fans)down the middle of the park in a recent play-off game. You may have left the match by this point though!!!

Good Luck to Wagga he isn't a world beater but always gives 110% in every game and is one of the best technical tacklers I have seen for a while! Much better than some of the pathetic attempts we had to witness last season! All the best and he will do you no harm!

For those in the know does this mean with Latu not coming we can sign an overseas player of some type?

Interesting they were after Stef www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/s ... _arrivals/

Good signing IMO

As mentioned, we needed a hooker and now we've got a consistant one.

Just checked his stats and, compared to Latu, he's a great addition. Not as many yards but his tackling and error count is by far superior. It's just a shame no-one seems to match Malc in the work rate. Those are some big shoes to fill!!

Godwins stats are a lot more like Alkers - minus a few hundred tackles. Much better option than Latu for the full 80 but would like to have them both as Latu will make things happen in attack and mix things up a bit. Very happy with Godwin as a steady replacement for Malc though. Will give a stable platform for the Halfs to do their thing.

I think that just about sums up my thinking - more reliable than Leo-Latu but less dangerous going forward. Both would have been a good mix but if we can only have one thenI'd rather have Godwin.

My guess is that Ratchford will come off the bench for him after 25 mins with Smith moving to 9 when he does

Ha Ha! Class


whatever happened to Hudson Smith ?

For Sale: Ruck sack and size 16 walking boots - unused.
One of the best Scarlet Turkey moments.

Getting quite impressed with Salfords recruitment for next season, be surprised if you don't get a top 8 spot now.

Solid signing for you and a far more reliable option than Latu on and off the field.

I think we'd settle for a season where we're not a guaranteed two points for every other team (except Saints).

You've got Ian Sibbitt. You can't ask for much more than The Terminator you cheeky get!!

so what's the latest with Latu? Anyone know?

We've beat Saints twice in the past 2 season's, both at the Willows. Lets make it a hat-trick on consecutive home wins in our last every game agaist them at the Willows? That would be nice.

the RL press are reporting that leo Latu deal was scuppered by outstanding traffic offenses comitted in West yorkshire ..

just how fast can a horse and cart go?
