Quote ="victarmeldrew"Pre Richards illness I would have been delighted with this signing , but not now , the last time I saw him play was at Stanningley two seasons ago (yes we were robbed by the referee at Leeds again) and he was nowhere near the best prop on show . It also raises the question if we are able to attract this standard of player on what must be a decent wage (otherwise he wouldn’t have left the Rhinos) why can’t we afford full time contracts to OUR OWN.'"
He would of left Leeds because they didnt want him, he was released 1 or 2 month back anyway. Cant imagine him been on a big chunk at Leeds anyway, he was signed as a squad playe.
He had one other offer on the table which was a lower league club,
"A club in a lower league offered me a three-year deal that would have involved coaching too but I still think I have something to give at Super League level."
Good signing, just what we need.
