Best Signing has to be James Evans. He Looks quality in attack and can Tackle.
He is closely followed by Stuart Jones. he plays well above his weight and is a tackling machine

There is no doubt Chris Feather is a natural athlete and a talented footballer. Yet in all honesty he has been a waste of space for most of his career. However I have no doubt he may be playing well as we have seen a similar near miraculouse transformation in Bibey who for the past three games has been nothing short of fantastic.
Maybe it proves the old adage that props don't hit their peak untill they are in their late 20's early 30's. |

He started the season very strong and is out side chance playing for England at the end of the season. |

Not very I'm afraid, in my opinion he never looks fit, not very big, not overly skillful but a trier - average at best the sort only home fans rate. Nothing wrong with that but don't get carried away. Boyle looks a far better long term bet.
I know you won't agree - but as far as I'm aware he has never gained rep honours and that tells a story. Bibey and Feather both have, the fact that they wasted it also tell a story. None of these players IMHO will ever be International class (which is what I'd call fecking good) in the future. If you think Huby will prepare to be disappointed. |

Agreed, at SL level injuries etc permitting he will hold his own and be a useful squad member.
However to be in that top group of "f-ing good" you need a bit more.
James Graham plays for Saints which helps - but he is also
1: A very big man, about 3" taller and a stone heavier.
2: More athletic, faster and more agile. Also has an engine that allows him to play for 80 mins.
3: Proper hard as nails.
4: Clever footballer with that winners mentality.
None of the above can be matched by Huby and IMHO never will, same applies to Bibey and Feather for that matter. |

You've not seen enough of him this season, Craig Huby is getting better all the time, he has put on weight but it's all muscle, he has a really good rugby brain, is no slouch across the park, is strong as an ox and really does take some tackling, as I'm sure Sheffuddersfield will testify to that, plus he's an excellent goal kicker to boot! The majority of props get better with age and that is true of Craig, but the best is still yet to come and I must add that he's as tough as any player in superleague.
Say what you want Vasty, but I would much rather have Huby than Graham in my side, have to accept what you say about Bibey, as not seen too much of him, but Feather is also finally realising his great potential.

To be fair, if he can draw five onto him he probably won't mind getting 'bitched'.
