dont think we need to watch every ex player otherwise we would be here all day!

eden and ferguson would like to keep an eye on

ferguson looks to be going well for them...and they want to keep him, like durham says id have him in for cording or fairbank..gives taai more time too to get fit.

just wondering if Eden might make a better half back than full back. got a good eye for the game, good passing game and looked very sharp in attack against salford.

his deffence on the other hand... he got the ball ripped from him on his own try line, cant be making mistakes like that at full back

I suggested Eden at 6 last year when he was struggling in defence but got told to shurrup as he wasn't good enough !.

i will be nice to see liam fulton playing for wests again from next week , nice to see an ex fartown laddie playing well in the nrl

Eden was good and bad against Salford. No disrespect to Salford but his tries wouldn't have been so easy to score against top 8 opposition yet he'd still have made those mistakes and probably more due to the attack and defense being quicker off the mark from a higher club. There's no doubt he has some talent but that's outweighed by his mistakes at the moment.

From the game the key thing is whether his positional sense is getting better to deal with kicks etc.

It stil seems like an area that work needs to be done but after another 20 to 30 games should improve.

If they get to the playoffs i think we can judge if he has improved. or not

see eden went quite well for hull kr and had a hand in a few tries...but we know he can do this so no surprise

also what wasnt a surprise was his mistakes!!!! aslong as he can get more experience and iron them out by the time he comes back to us that will be fine

Kev Brown debuted but limped off with an ankle injury. Not good for him or Widnes, but glad he's not on our injury list.

Kev Brown was looking good till he turned his ankle too, showed flashes of why we missed him at 6 last season

I agree . Was pleased to see him playing again and really felt for him when he did his ankle. It is the same one he has just had operated on.

A good player and decent bloke by all accounts i really hope he comes back soon.
I wonder whether the Widnes pitch is going to help him though.

Anyone watch HKR vs Cas.

Eden gifted all 3 Cas tries. His catching and passing skills were apalling.

The commentators all made the point that the role of the full back is first and foremost to catch and return the ball and organise the defence.

At the minute Eden can do neither. It was the right decision to let him go IMHO.

I wonder whether he would make a better half back ala McGuire than full back.

Yes watched it and it was evident we have made the correct decision on him for where we were and are.
This year is about starting a fresh putting the slump of last year behind us. For this we need to be defensively sound and this is Grix, once we have a greater confidence we can implement more risk taking. Eden is great at times but not consistent enough!

not a bad first game for david faalogo tonight

Is he playing for nz warriors? Was a quality player when he linked games together just couldn't keep injury free
