He can play anywhere across the back line and he played both left and right back last season.


Does this put any Bennett rumours to rest now? "The Mariners are delighted to announce the signing of defender Harvey Rodgers from Accrington Stanley on a three-year deal after his contract with them came to an end." He can play anywhere across the back line and he played both left and right back last season. “He has, though, been predominantly brought in as a centre back."

Think this guy replaces Waterfall for me, I'd not be surprised to see Luke leave, but Bennett ain't gonna sign to be a bench warmer, so its either Waterfall out the door and Bennett in or Bennett ain't signing imo.

Has anyone considered Mullarkey might be played in a defensive midfield role in a 4-1-4-1?

Never heard of him before the last couple of days but sounds like a really good signing.

You aint got a Clodagh?

Four forwards, two defenders so far.

3yr deal, so PH must rate him.

Welcome Harvey.

Described as your typical lower league versatility player according to BBC Lancs, not particularly an expert in any one position or technically gifted enough to play it out from the back. Sounds like he can do a job and will put his body on the line.

Anybody who mentions any link to the band Free again is a genuine legend in my eyes!

Now, I’m off to the Wishing Well to keep up the eternal hope of a return for Ryan Bennett.

53 appearances last season at a higher level AND he's already suffixed the 's' onto his name for us, great signing

I've just told my brother Jake about this signing.

I notice we are giving 3 year contracts out- obviously looking to the future. That lad from Hull will be coming on loan probably as reserve goalie. Going by the transfers it looks as though Hurst is trying to get a more settled team instead of getting loan players in to fill the gaps.

More pertinently I think having our own actual experienced front line rather than a series of young loanees will be the telling part.

Listening to the Radio Lancashire's description of him he sounds Carl Magnay and Elliott Hewitt-esque. Can play anywhere across the back line and be dependable, not afraid to block, head and tackle like Waterfall but versatile to play centre half and full back so would be very useful in the team or as an only defensive cover substitute to allow more attacking minded on the bench.
Wouldn't say he's been out standout signing but very useful especially if we end up playing a similar amount of games like last season. He's also a good age and brings height to the team which at the moment isn't particularly tall.
Welcome to the Mariners, the fans are gonna love ya

Luke Waterfall will be 33 when we kick off the new season with 1 year contract left, so I can see the baton being handed over (in slo-mo) during the 2023-24 season. Harvey Rodgers, at 26, has an engine more durable (should have more)  than LW, however, LW has the Knowledge.
As for Ryan Bennet, he is of the same age as LW, so not the future. Still a great player though.
Shame that Use By Dates on players are short, you get all that knowledge and then your legs give up.

Unless that knowledge is so superlative that you are a mind reader of the player in possession of the ball then you can play walking football and are called Fuchenstein…

Luke is a great asset in our and the opposition's penalty areas. Reads the game well, and is a student of sh#thousery.

Do we need a new 'Sh!thousery' award to be presented at the end of season bash,  sponsored by the fishy?  Maybe a bronze figure of Orsi with his broken back at Southampton....
