phildog 640 Report post Posted November 30, 2019 Like I said before and said to the coach last night, just ask....we never thought we'd get Shaun Lunt, that was really out of leftfield and nobody had to talk big money. Get him on loan even, that could suit everybody, us, Wigan and player. He'll have seen us get Shaun and he might just think that there could be something in this..... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When he was at Workington he was a fantastic professional in everything he done how he was with fans, sponsors, a brilliant speaker and he gave everything every game often when his team mates weren't on his wave length and on occasion light on numbers. He will be a great signing for whoever is lucky enough to get him. 5 1 Quote Forget Chuck and Chad I am the real legend killer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we were going to sign him, our best shot was on Black Friday or at the very latest, Cyber Monday, when we could have got him with 50% off rrp. Maybe we'll get him next year...

I’d rather have Ben black back on one leg even Halifax & Leigh turned him down For Halifax I believe it were down to money with Huddersfield wanting us to contribute over 20k to his wages which was never going to happen. I do believe he will have to find a new club though because of quota issues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They had Woods, Ridyard and Reynolds already, unless they are going to play a HB on the bench? But it seems an expensive luxury having 2 good and presumably expensive HBs sat in the stand every week, it smacks a bit of signing him so nobody else can.

phildog 640 Report post Posted December 5, 2019 Blimey Dogfather, they accuse ME of being the negative one!! Smith is only 31, a year younger than Lunty and nobody said he'd had his day!! Having him would be another shot in the arm, a couple of seasons of that experience couldn't do us any harm at all, after all Rams still go head over heels for Sykes and how old is he? We've now shown that we're not afraid to ask players to come to Batley.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We've now shown that we're not afraid to ask players to come to Batley.... Age isn't the issue, the fact that Smith has seemingly lost his ability to play, is though. He has looked appalling everytime I've seen him for the last 3 seasons. He didn't even shine for Sheffield when he played for them on DR whilst he was still at Saints. He doesn't look to have improved since then either. Gareth Moore's pet snail is faster than Smith these days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
