Hvy wg Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Huddersfield signed Kenny Edwards on a 1 million deal from Catalans. Are you guys crazy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 1 million over how many years? He’s probably the best attacking 2nd row in Super League. I’d of liked Leeds to have signed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d of liked Leeds to have signed him. 3 years. There are reasons why we don't play him anymore. He's decent going forward but gets penalised a lot, is prone to brain fart and his work ethic is lower than Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerner80 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Is the move instant? And if so does this mean Les Dracs may use Cap space to bring in a decent NSW cup Half back ala Drinkwater last year to help the side have some structure in attack? Edwards is a good player, however a HB is needed above all right now for Les Dracs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I find it hard to believe that Huddersfield have paid that for a second row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Rich Tea aka the Biscuit Richardson would be a interesting signing. He's got alot of skill however I feel would not be the best choice right now as Les Dracs need a Chad Townsend or Adam Reynolds (I know both unrealistic more a player like these but not quite as good) type player. Richardson is not the best at organising. He seems very good when he's confident however he's not matched his early to mid season form of 2018 since. His decision making V London Broncos a game I saw live, probably cost Saints the game. Risky signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZH Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hull were linked with him at one stage. If this figure is true then it explains why that never happened. FWIW I don't believe that they are really paying him that much. He is at best just an above average player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have plenty of safe players, Smith/Tomkins can organise, we desperately need a running halfback which Richardson is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clogiron Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Think the million mentioned was in Aussie dollars, whatever the cost it's a brainfart signing, he's a penalty machine always has been, always will be, thats in the limited amount of time he spends on the field. Look out for Ferres returning if that's a indication of their team building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel Smith is doing a good enough job at organising tbh hence hes only probably playing as Bird is injured and Tomkins to me as a FB/HB is more of a runner. Josh Drinkwater made alot of difference last year. Shame he's gone. They need a player like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stirk Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 If this story turns out to be true, the one million Aussie dollars turns out at something like £9000 per game if he plays 60 games over three years. Where is that money coming from with attendance’s at around 5000 on a good day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whippet13 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I presume this is actually a 3.5 year deal if it's with immediate effect. 1 million Australian dollars is around £550,000 sterling. Over 3.5 years that is just over £150,000 per year. Good money, but not exactly breaking the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh as Huddersfield are near the bottom now a top quality forward who offers flair in attack is worth bringing in. The contract does seem maybe a year too long but I guess they really wanted the player! Steve Price rates him highly and apparently wanted him at Wire and he has done well for the Dragons imo. Maybe given how well paid the NRL is now, 100k pa is minimum for a quality second row unless they are coming under a cloud of controversy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulwalker71 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Every time I've seen him on TV he seems to be more of a luxury player. The occasional moment of great skill, then poor ball retention or total brain f*rt. Is he really what Huddersfield need as 'marquee'? Is he even marquee-level at all?

Rupert Prince Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 So not in Aussie dollars, in fact it's about £550,000 for 3 years, that's about 185k pa. I am guessing (possibly incorrectly) that this is really the going rate. That's certainly a long way from £333k a season (or possibly a cool million as suggested) and not really worthy of a "?", or even a "!" Why were articles recorded in dollars?
