Squidward Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 If there was any doubt that we were not going 'all out' for SL, well this should dispel that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardypaul Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Although I’m not sure we need another fullback I think he is a good player. Let’s see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbaldnmad Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Would have liked to have seen a rough house prop, as that is where we are short. Pickersgill has been good so far this season, if anything better than I thought he would be. Not sure how we are going to keep all the backs we have happy.

Yep this is true but you see the same thing on just about every other club's forums including SL clubs. Demand massively outstrips supply in that position.

haskey Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Cannot see Pickersgill being too happy , he is performing very well for us linking up when necessary. Do we rewally need another full back ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingaro Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 My only criticism of Pickersgill is his pace, I don't think he has a top gear. Other than that he is very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeymagic22 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Pickersgill had been great, but not as good as Kheirallah in my view. We've signed a game changer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player who has scored 91 tries ad 492 goals in 119 games becomes available it would be prudent to give him a go irrespective of position 23 hours ago, bigbaldnmad said: .Pickersgill has been good so far this season, That's true but he;s only a youngun starting his 4th season and at this moment in time is only a good championship fullback so plenty of time for him to get better especially under the tutelage of Kheirallah 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam B Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Out of everyone in the squad this year I'd argue Pickersgill has had to earn his place more than anyone else (aside perhaps from Smith in the halves), and he's gone great so far. Looks to have already gone up a level since joining us from Bradford Admin. It would be pretty harsh if he (and his development) now got interrupted by this signing. Maybe Kheirallah can also play as a centre/wing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidward Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I fully understand that point of view but professional sport is harsh and there's no sentiment either. It's about Fev being the best they can and Pickersgill will hopefully accept that. It should even improve him. He will surely still get plenty more game time. Fatigue, form and injury means you can never rely on one player in one position with the task ahead. As Monkey said he's a game changer and we're lucky that we've now got 2 or 3 in the squad and at this level that is fantastic. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Briscoe Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 If he refuses to have the vaccine will he definitely be allowed in the country and to play? I know there are professional sportspeople already here who won’t have it but it’s a bit different when you’re looking to come in. I’m sure the club will have done their homework on it.
