[Brin]

......Brin, I'm still wondering how Eaves got the "nod", for a 3yr contract, from our Transfer Selection Panel. Was he actually the best we could get????

Absolute last minute panic signing by all involved at the club. No fee involved so Stewart happy, therefore Warne could offer more in terms, Eaves/Agent dug their heels in for a 3 year contract, season ready for starting and couldn't find anyone else so Warne signed him.

So far no goals and as the highest earner at the club thats deplorable. Mind you, he has managed to straighten his ponytail 9 times and straighten the lines of his socks during games 15 times so I suppose that's a return.

How do you come to the conclusion that Tom Eaves was a last minute panic signing Brin.?
Hull City didn't take up the option on his contract. RUFC would have been aware of that.
Michael Smith signed for S6 on 22nd June.
Peter Kioso signed around 22nd June - was he a panic buy.?
Tom Eaves signed around 23rd June - doesn't look like a last minute panic buy to me.
Transfer window was into August wasn't??
