Is Yates OOc?

That's my point, just because they were in a poor team last year doesn't make them individually poor players, same as the likes of Huby, Wood & Grix. I too thought Lunt and Walker especially would be good signings and even Boudebza might be worth a shout at the right price.

Last year you need to remember we had horrendous injuries at Hull KR and lost Campese for most of the season and justifiably dropped Kelly at a crucial time for disciplinary reasons after he shat on us big time.

Back on topic. John Boudebza definitely worth a punt, Larroyer is useless and Allgood is a solid and brave prop who played injured last season with very good defence and half decent go forward.

I did say earlier in this thread that at one point I did rate Huby and if we get something like him at his best would do ok.

As for Grix he was good for us first time round but has picked up injuries and what is he now 33. Just hope really he is covering full back.

I think Kyle Wood will be cover for the halves but dont buy this smarter than Miller tag.

Personally, I would have looked to bring someone in who can cover both full back and half back efficiently. With what was paid on two salaries could have brought one really good player for the same value

Thanks for that Pickering.

As Wakey and Hull KR games didnt clash much toward the end of last season, I was able to se both Wakey and Rovers games. My wife is a Robin so we try watch both where we can

Could tell that with the lack of Kelly and Campese the sides confidence just looked shot to bits. Blair and Marsh tried hard but just think he was a little out of his depth at that time.

Hope you come straight back up. Will miss the banter in the East Stand and patties

Grix is 32 mate and as CC said, he just offers decent utility value in a few places and will cover and help Jowittt to bring his game along.

You say we should have brought one player in who can play F/B & H/B instead of Wood and Grix but surely Wood's here to play Hooker for us, even if by some miracle we see Moore again. I think the Club saw Wood playing at Hooker even when we first made inquiries about him, which was before Moore's brainfart. With Moore starting Hooker and Wood off the bench, to free Sio up to play Loose. Obviously those plans are up in the air waiting on Moore's Court date, leaving us only Wood, Finn and Moules who can play hooker.

If we can get Huby playing even near his best stuff (if he comes) he'll be a good signing imo.
