Quote: Mary Millington "If the rumours are right, then Fozzard and Wheeldon are a good addition. Our pack this season have been lethargic and too one dimensional.

You know what you're going to get from chain smoking Foz and didn't Wheeldon score a couple of tries against us recently.

For me Korky and particulary Moore have been well below par. Hope we keep King however.

We certainly need change in our pack for next season thats for sure.

Will admit to being impressed with young Watts at Hull KR too.'"


agree about moore but not korki, i think he has had a decent season. imho !

It's all about opinions but I've never really rated Korky however I know he's a fans favourite.

Agreed Mary, liability in defence when he ambles up from defensive line, and liability in attack, never gets a quick play of ball for us...
But..if he does another big run like he did about 5 years ago no doubt he'll get a new contract..

Wasn't overly enamoured with his first spell with us but to be fair when he came back he was a steady performer and remained so up until 6/7 games ago. When the team is playing so poorly it's difficult for anyone to shine. When we first went into the slump our pack was still playing reasonably well it was the backs and halfs letting us down. Because results have been so poor the confidence has drained out of the entire team and is the result is the pack are now playing gash as well.

Have to agree - he pulls all the right faces and runs like a train, but his technique is awful; leads with the ball-carrying arm so that it pops out in collision with alarming regularity. Is easily turtled on almost every tackle, resulting in a slooooow play the ball. Also has the capacity to be a penalty machine.

IMHO the likes of Bracek and Ostick in NL would be better in a Wakey shirt than Korki and Moore...If its true what i have heard on another thread that Moore is playing injured...well Kear needs to drop him as soon as poss...All good offering your hand up to play but if your not right you shouldnt be in the team for ne...

HULL KINGSTON ROVERS is my religion, Craven Park is my church and Jordan Abdull is my God:



Quote: very red robin "Not our worse player, but certainly not our best.
Can offload and has got good handling skills, with a bit more grunt he could become a good player.

Only reason hes gone down at HKR is that we signed Clinton, and that our youngster Watts has come on enormously and taken his place.'"



I honestly can't see where you've got this can offload malarky and good ball handling statement from. Scott is a no nonsense prop forward, who'll come on put in a shift both in attack and defence. A solid grafter and one who'd i'd like us to keep at rovers given his form in the last 6-8 weeks even though his gametime is down alot from last year.

But an offloader and ball handler he is not

the original sandy, no aussie imitation!:



Quote: PHe "JK on Radio Leeds says we definitely have NOT signed Wheeldon. May as well 'lock it''"


might that be because of the the anti-tampering deadline farce that means you cannot technically sign another clubs player until september??? Don't know mind, did kear say he wasn't interested????

I'd agree with PhilB that he is an honest grafter of a prop, we would have liked to keep him but what with the salary cap we have priorites elsewhere in the squad, most people I reckon would think its a shame he is leaving but there is not the mass wringing of hands over here about it, if you do sign him that might give you a pointer on what type of player he is.

Thats because Morgan seems to coach it out of people; if youve seen him play in his more youthful days (yes i know hes still young) then you wouldnt agree with your statement.

I see what you mean, he managed 10 offloads in his 3 seasons and 56 appearances at Hull FC. Before Morgan managed to coach it out of his game icon_lol.gif
