TO me, i think they signed him cos he was available and a reasonable 'name' he's certainly not a strike player that they needed.

Best centre in the league, yet once again he came from Wakefield

Players I was wrong about (going back a bit)

Andy Currier
I thought he was going to be total gash.......you can guess the rest!

he was worse?

why the question mark, Cat....I'd have thought the answer was crystal clear.

To stay within the swear filter boundaries, let's just say Currier was "sewage" (for the benefit of anyone under the age of say, 25, who didn't get to see this "master" ply his trade in P&B)

Edited.

He is actually from Leeds

Michael Monaghan.

I remember the pre-season friendly vs Wigan when he was brilliant with bullet passes out to the right and Bridge was playing at full back in Hodgson style. Then, Monaghan had a great start to the season - 3 MoMs out of 4 matches I think and then got injured. When he came back, he was very sloppy, giving intercepts all the time and his kicking game had disappeared. I then got a real downer on him right up until the Challenge Cup Semi Final in 2009. He's not done too badly since then....

i`ll admit sam tomkins never thought he would go to the level he is at now...still cant stand the cheating orrible little scroat..by the way for what its worth he is still some way off from being world class..

Patrick Ah Van. I thought he was gonna be complete and utter gash. But fair play, he's brought the 'Volcano' excitement back to the Bradford supporter's this season.

Brendan 'baby face assasin' Tuuta. When we signed him I thought Christ no he's a penalty machine who'll spend more games banned than on the pitch. imo he worked his socks off at Warrington and changed my opinion of him. He could still whack people but his tackling and effort was first class alas in a crap side.

Morley. I thought he would be spent. Turns out he aint too bad a player at all.

widnes are lucky to have secured the services of such an exciting and commited player.

I can't believe this thread isn't 6 or 7 pages long already, with people admitting how they truly thought getting rid of Richie Mathers for an aging Brett Hodgson, was a huge error....

'The (Dormant) Volcano' is their most exciting arrival since that of another Polynesian winger, Misili 'The Missile' Manu.

I wasn't one of them until Mathers' performance at Wembley. Really unlucky not to get the Lance Todd. Hodgy though has been fantastic.

Going into the future here with Ratchford. I know he is a good player but don't see how he will fit into our team for next season. Most likely will be at centre but would rather Bridge and Atkins play there.

John Wilshire Gash when Cull signed him played a few games for us got a bad facial injury think it was against quins away never seen him again after that.

Went to Salford where he grabbed the headlines every week at fullback stand off centre or on the wing couldnt get my head round that one at all.

This is just ace - I can't get my head round it. Are you already wrong about him? Or are you going to be wrong about him?

I think you've got the wrong end of the stick to be fair.

The way I read it, WersyourMylerGone was telling us that he has gone into the future and that's where he's posting from. Therefore, having gone into the future, he is now telling us that with hindsight, he was wrong in the past. The past being where we are now.

I expect to be wrong about him. Sounded good in my head

no need to apologise...... some of his stats have also come from and 1.... and 13.. which makes them even more impressive... Do you not think?

If your in the **** with injuries yes nice to have a player who can cover a few positions but for me Bridge is not a centre
