Quote: east hull FC fan "How was Tickle a better attacking forward? Granted he was put on crash balls near the line, but had little else to his game. He had no offload or passing ability at all and gave penalties away (usually for laying on). Not saying Tuson is SBW like, far from it, just don't get how you can say he's a [imuch[/i better attacker. Tickle's major strength was the power in his tackles.'"
Not once in Danny Tickle's duration with us did I see him as an attacking forward. I agree with you, barring coming on to a short ball near the line, which nine times out of ten was put down, all he was was a solid back-rower who could kick a dead ball. A good salary off the cap.
