He (Fielden) may be in Wales !

I'm struggling because the thing they're lacking, and their fans felt they were desperately lacking prior to Finch signing for us was another quality halfback to work with Dobson so that they're more difficult to shut down.

The could go and sign the world best winger, but it won't do them much good if they've got problems elsewhere - which I was led to believe they were both from my own observations, and their own fan's comment.

I think Fielden moving to Crusaders would be the worst decison he could possibly make...





Ever since MM has come in he has started to look like his old self, moving back to the Noble regime would be a huge step down

HKR have also signed Canterbury Bulldogs no 6 Blake Green on a 2 year deal !!!!!!!!

We've signed Blake Greene, Dobson's former half-back partner rlhttp://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/hullkr/HULL-KR-Green-s-keen-excite-Rovers-fans/article-2601154-detail/article.htmlrl

As far as Mason goes, it is a slightly different signing than the overseas players we've signed before with the likes of Newton, Galea, Clinton, Dobson etc. proving to be excellent signings even though they are less high profile names.

On the playing side of things; he's still only 30yrs old, not missed a game all season for the Cowboys, is in the NRL top-six for both metres gained and tackle busts so he'll still playing very well.

Commercially it is a massive signing for the club and one that will help us kick on back into the top-four no doubt next season.

For too long we've had several players no where near the pitch such as Cooke & Walker both in excess of 100k a piece so in that respect Mason's wages would be to good use.

Blake Green? oh dear....

I honestly hope Mason works out for you, i've always liked KR - I just can't for the life of me see it.

hope it works out for KR but I'd be amazed if Mason is still in SL for 2012.

He will put bums on seats/feet on the terraces at hull kr i reckon they have only got to sell an extra 1000 season tickets to re-coup his wages.

Some huge packs next season.

How does our pack compare?

Stuart Fielden
Thomas Leuluai
Andy Coley
Ryan Hoffman
Joel Tomkins
Sean O'loughlin

Lima?

Saints will probably have the best pack IMO, followed by those above

Hock ? Hanson ? Farrell ?

Does he start or used from the bench?

Stuart Fielden
Mike McIlorum
Jeff Lima
Ryan Hoffman
Joel Tomkins
Sean O'loughlin

I think we're really lacking at hooker.

That second row is the best in the league, and by some distance too imo.

You only have to look at the players not starting - Hansen + Farrell who'd walk in most of the other teams in the league.

Plus we have the best 13 in the league - Sean O'loughlin.

Some monster packs next season. I think we'll see a return of the biff for sure!

I think the difference between us and other teams (in the forwards) is our bench & squad depth. We have Lee Mossop, Harrison Hansen, Liam Farrell, Chris Tuson, Jeff Lima, Paul Prescott, Eamon O'carroll, Ben Davies & one of Thomas Leuluai/Mike McIlorum all competing for bench spots. I don't think the same can be said for some of the other sides.
