Huby is a quality forward but offers nothing off the bench and needs to start and play long minutes, he is very much like Scruton, what you get in the first minute, you get in the 80th.

Arona has always been involved in the play until this year.
I think it's more a Chester thing than the players not being capable.

Keegan is a massive unit and seems willing - but he is flawed; in a similar manner to Talima Tautai, he was born with the unfortunate affliction of having his hands on backwards. Unlike Tautai though, he also doesn't run his weight or size - and he smokes like a chimney, which can't help his conditioning.

I like him and I want him to succeed - I guess this season will be the one that decides if he has a future with us or not; at this stage, I expect the jury is still out.

Is he? Maybe he was a couple of years ago but I'm not seeing it.

I agree Adam_Harrison9... Form seems to have disappeared.

He's never produced his peak Cas form since leaving them and signing for Shudds. He has appeared to pile on the weight.

I would still put him light years in front of Nick Scruton though and do prefer him on the pitch for us before Hirst. Still far more positives then negatives for me.

When Huby starts he's a different player to the one that comes off the bench.
Had a ropey start last season but once he got his fitness back and got into a rhythm he was quality, too many coaches go with the 'have to rotate my props after 20 minutes'. Huby isn't one of these.
Would you rather start with Huby or Fifita?

On a like for like comparison with 2016 I think we're much better off with Huby & Hirst than we were with Scruton & Anderson.

Hirst is doing a solid enough job currently, question whether he will develop much further but he has improved since he arrived.
