What you looking at?....Butt Head!!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_68072.jpg



I think it is pretty good.when compared to the nrl fullbacks though it would then look average but they have do have incredible depth in that position in particular.

'when my life is over, the thing which will have given me greatest pride is that I was first to plunge into the sea, swimming freely underwater without any connection to the terrestrial world' Yves Le Prieur, the real inventor of the aqualung:



Quote: Hessle Roader "I'm amazed nobody is bigging up Greg Eden. He's the opposition's first choice when they're playing Rovers. Can concede tries out of nothing.'"


Never a dull moment when he is playing thats for sure.

To be fair, when he plays well he looks very good, unfortunately he keeps having brain farts and costing us tries. I would say that for half of each game we get a talented, exciting player and for the other 40 minutes .......................... icon_eek.gif

If he plays on Saturday he is just as likely to score a hat trick of excellent tries as he is to cost us the game with phukupps, we just don't know which Eden will turn up.

"I've been rich & I've been poor. Rich is better." DLR:



Quote: Hessle Roader "I'm amazed nobody is bigging up Greg Eden. He's the opposition's first choice when they're playing Rovers. Can concede tries out of nothing.'"


Eden sums Rovers up perfectly, brilliant & shocking in equal measure. Every game's a toss of the coin.

Tomkins is in a league of his own in SL. Some promising / talented players elsewhere but no consistent standouts just yet & some proven quality slowing down with age. Take your pick.

HUDDERSFIELD - THE BIRTHPLACE OF RUGBY LEAGUE:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_43854.jpg



Quote: Charlie Sheen "Is Grix really better than Greg Eden?'"


both have qualities, grix is great under the high ball, organising the defence and backing up plays

but can have utterly awful days and often comes into the half back position and messes things up.

eden has the same awful days but great in attack... needs to learn, that why we have sent him off to hull kr to do his learning there icon_wink.gif

I don't see how Escare can be listed as he's only played a handful of SL matches. He shows great potential and ability, yes, but he hasn't played enough to be listed on this as he hasn't totally proved himself.

What I'm trying to say is that some players have one excellent season and look fantastic but then drop off and are poor during the next. I don't think he can be listed until he's had more time there and proven that he's the real deal.

My point is pretty similar to the point Jimlav has previously made about Lomax at fullback.

Simple fact is that there's only one true top quality FB in SL and that's Tomkins.

There's a not bad bunch, consisting of Wellens, Hodgson, McDonnell, Kearney.

There's a young, talented bunch with potential, the likes of Escare, Ratchford, Hardaker.

The rest are rubbish or not even really full backs.

"I should go":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_66958.jpg



Quote: Offside Monkey "It would appear that there is a bit of competetion for this, so I ask, which clubs have a fullback who you'd rate as poor?'"


Brett Hodgson.

He's utter dog s*** that bloke. How he won Man of Steel is beyond me and he's the Exiles captain too. Deary me today. Why isn't Shannon McDonnell not in the squad? He would be a better choice. Why isn't Rhys Hanbury captain? After all, he is much better than Hodgson.

Dear, oh dear......

Anyone who saw Morgan Escare play yesterday will agree that he is one of the top 5 full backs in Super League.

It doesn't matter how many games he has played, because he has been consistently outstanding in every game.

Morgan Escare has class written all over him.

Hardaker was the better of the 2 full backs tonight IMO.

Surprised at the MOTM for Tomkins tonight - he was seriously quiet by his standards!
