Shame he's not a foot taller. Looses out on high balls which is why I assume DP prefers Clare as backup and we can use the quota on somebody to improve the starting 17
Genuinely think this is the reason we’re looking for another Winger.
He’s just too small for a winger or fullback. Not in the stature sense but height wise he gets bullied. It’s a weak link.
I’d take a steady signing like Kirk Dixon was for us, not a world star, just someone talented and tall. And quick. And a good finisher. And a good tackler..lol....
Height wise...you mean like Justin Carney???

Carney has the ability to jump and catch the ball above his head. Jy doesn’t. Carney’s build also means it is difficult to challenge him in the air as often the attacker needs to run around him first.

Sad to see Jy go. He's never let us down. Just gets on and does a good job.

Dixon was a good finisher and great in the air, but lacked speed to make him a top winger.

Bradford were rumoured to be in for him if they got promoted. Hopefully the 75% thing is not true. Would fit in nicely at Bradford with his mate Dane Chisholm.

Jy said himself on the radio show he needs to play a certain amount of games to be able to get a visa.

but in an interview with QLT he said he had the chance of a a contract with warrington a couple of years since but tony smith couldn't guarantee him first team rugby which his visa required. so have we guaranteed QLT first team rugby?

Was rumoured only going to Bradford of they get promoted. So would be at an ambitious Championship club and would get his games in if the visa rule thing is correct.

Probably came from after his loan spell with them and that he's got friends there too.
