Coley confirmed
Re: Coley confirmed
I suppose it had to happen. Another Fielden, wrong physique for a prop and not quick enough to play in the back row. We will never win anything with hybrid props
Where does one start with Coley? Penalties? Mistakes? Thinking he is something other than a prop and not doing what a prop should do?
Gutted it has happened. So hoped it would be Carvell.

Re: Coley confirmed
I would have liked Mcarthy-Scarsbrook from Quins hes at the right age and a prop.

The thing that worries me most about the Coley signing is this quote from Maurice (already mentioned earlier in the thread:
"The announcement of Andy Coley today is an indication of our ambition"
I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks we should have higher ambitions than that.
Coley as a useful squad player, yes, but an "indication of our ambition"? Surely not.

Re: Coley confirmed
Give the lad a chance hes not even played a game for us and hes being slagged off.Nobby must have faith in him or he would not have signed for us.

Is it a case of 'he'll have to do?' if Noble has his eye on a quality fullback/centre to pay more in wages too?jaws1 posted:

as I said at the start we'll have:
Fielen
Coley
Feka
Ocarroll
Prescott
which looking around other SL teams is fairly decent

Re: Coley confirmed
IMO he is just a stop gap player who can play prop/second row signed to replace Fletcher but not as good we need another prop as well as.

Re: Coley confirmed
I think for the money we probably got him for he will be worth it, if we paid over the odds he'd be a bad signing but judging by us dropping out of the race for quite a few others as we offered less looks like we have learned not to throw money at players and overspend.
I think if we replace Fletcher in the 2nd, then Coley will help us nicely at prop as we have missed that extra experience prop this year

Coly is leading the charts as the player who gives away the most penalties this year.
With Lockers and Hock i feel we will be in big trouble next year.
Coley needs to take the penalties out of his game.
nobby stated that contrary to rumours chev walker has not been training with wigan and has committed his future to bath and has NOT signed for wigan
