God this is easy

You don't need to leave the stupid comments to us two, you've got that more than capably covered yourself

Grown men...how scary is that



[size=150Obst[/size, hope he plays Friday.

Just read Obst won Wildcats' Man of Steel awards for the 2009 and 2010 seasons. I know it's Wakey, but still.

Obst will give you options. He can play in the halves but is a better hooker. His defence is surprisingly good but at times he has been left exposed by others. His distribution probably isn't consistent enough for a top class player. That said, he has a variety to his attacking play, has a decent short kicking game and will work his socks off.

I think he'll do well for you, but don't be expecting miracles

Apparently he has the heart of a lion, had a chat with my hubby he reckons he could be a decent signing who could really shine playing with players like Orgre, Manu, Fitz, Westerman etc...



2 creative players to come in Obst & Phelps

Here's a quote from one of Wakey's posters:

did berro play 22 times last year?? thought he was injured for 15 weeks

Quote ="Dave K."Stats compared to Berrigan. www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2010'" Jesus! 50 tackles busts and 120 kicks in play?! Over 100 more tackles then Berro, too.

Quote ="Dave K."Stats compared to Berrigan. www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2010'" I think he's gonna go well for us and is a great signing. Not every player has to be a world beater. Berrigan was on paper a better player but poor in reality and Obst stats certainly look a lot better.

Agreed.

His stats do look impressive, but I hope he doesn't try any crazy s**t in a black and white shirt like kicking 2 40/20's

Agreed, tbf some of us have been slated for saying how average Berro was



No huge expectations (or wage bill

) with Obst he should go well!

Wash your mouth out son

His stats don't even begin to stack up to Richard Horne though who according to many is a spent force.

I think he'll do alright for us and is certainly what we need this year, somebody to interchange with Houghton and a bit of extra cover in the halves.
It's the two years I'm dubious about but I doubt we'd have got him without it. Whether the two years is a good move or not will become clearer as next years recruitment is sorted I suppose.

then compare him with mcguire. www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2010 Look at them stats, wow! Just shows how much quality the leeds team has, we are a long way off from challenging for honors, especially with agar in charge, its fact we will never win anything with agar in charge.

What a strange comparison?

Comparing SL best stand off to our bench hooker.

Also isn't Mcguire out for the next three months.

Wouldn't back any team coached by Mcdermott to win anything either.

Obst isn't a world beater but provide good backup and cover for key positions.

Comparing Sam Obst's stats to McGuire's, from the 2010 season, shows how we will never win anything with RA in charge?! Truly weird comparison. He's our back-up half/rotating hooker, McGuire is arguably the best in SL.

You do realise they play in different positions don't you? also McGuire is an International and most players stats will be inferior to his.

Don't know if this has been mentioned as I have not read every post. But at the forum Agar said we have missed out on players who wanted 2 year deals, we were only prepared to offer 1 year. Now we have given Obst (who I like by the way) a 2 year deal, what calibre of player have we missed out on who wanted 2 years

Maybe he meant 2 year deals for quota players.
