New signing being announced tomorrow

[phil PLT]

I'm looking forward to watching him play. He adds size to our D and it appears he is not afraid to drop the gloves either. We were all impressed with Batch last season so hopefully he will be able to make a similar step up. It's also a shot across the bowe's of the likes of Batch, who IMO has started slowly this year and the other D men that we have someone else if they are not performing.

Lets give the guy a chance and get behind him and the team on Saturday.

+1

The guy is a big lad - got a feeling he tangoed with Ross Wilkinson in the recent NIHL 1 game against Streatham Redskins & gave a good account of himself.

Those fans expressing disappointment with the hype around this signing possibly need to give some credit to G and PR for doing something proactive about a situation that needed something being done. They are damned if they do something, they are damned if they don't. If the message doesn't get out in a positive way, one can hardly expect to get positive results.

Totally agree with you. I am just amazed at the negativity by some people. Who did they expect ? Some NHL'er ?

As for PR's PR....we need to welcome players and make a big deal out of it whether it be an import or some fresh faced 16 yr old Brit !! They are all members of OUR team.

i think some people were expting a name to come in a save the day, the devils do have a habbiet of finding little gems, lets see what happends with the d

 

[Ger-Devils]

PR can't take credit for the signing surely?

Well done to Cudds for getting him and G agreeing on the two way.

 

[Jones72]

Personally I think it's a great signing.

 

[Slartibartfast]

This signing makes sense. We need 6 D but dropping G back has taken away from our offense particularly with Max out for 3 games.
This will allow 3 D pairings to get used to playing together and give us a reasonable third line offense.
Shrewd move

Pfffttttt! Where would be the fun in that!!!!!

 

[Ingramator]

Do you think this new guy will play on Saturday?

 

[Tyke Devil]

Be good to give him some ice time tomorrow.

One thing for certain, the NIHL Devils team is looking very decent. Think I will be heading down the BBT on Sunday.

 

[Kipper]

Saw Rupert on the ice this morning and he knows what he is doing. He will be a good option in the Josh Batch mould and could develop into a good GB player given the chance.He is very keen to be here and earn his place. A hungry player can only benefit the room and the more competition the better.Good luck to him and well done Cudd and G for giving the guy a chance to show if he can cut it at Elite level.

My guess is he will be very cheap so PR won't have to break the bank to afford him

 

[kettdevil1]

I very much doubt it will be an import.

Young Brit with potential. Josh Batch type player.

Good shout.

Intriguing signing and one that could be very good indeed. I suspect he might see some ice time on Sunday when Olsen is around, the only way to combat a 6 foot 6 player is often to come up with one of your own..

 

[osh]

Good luck to him, hope he does well.

( the whisper is he's been brought in to protect Didiomete :lol: :lol: )

 

[ASHIPP]

Best of luck to Rupert. Hope he is given some shifts on Saturday. We could certainly do with balanced pairings on D which will allow G to play forward. Most of the teams in this league have 2 British defencemen.

WELCOME RUPERT TO OUR TENT
ANY HELP IS WELL SENT
JOIN STU AND MAC AND THE REST
SQUEELERS TOMORROW WILL BE A TEST


oh dear ............ sure others can do better!

As long as his team mates don't leave him exposed at the back - it wouldn't be right to leave Rupert bare...





I'll get me coat
