broughton was another will sharp....i think its just down to experiance why he is getting more try's etc etc than he used too..... will be a solid sl winger in his day, but wont tear up any trees from what i can see.......

I've backed Broughton e/way at 100-1 for leading try scorer so am chuffed to see him notch 4 in a match! He is rapid, there's no doubting that but the Catalans defence was utterly shocking.

He does seem to have an outsanding player inside him in Ratchford. He's the one we should have pinched from Salford, we got that badly wrong.

Be intersting to see how he goes on for a full year as first choice for Salford.

Agreed.

Thought we were right not to sign Broughton and still do. He's doing well for Salford, but not to the extent that I think any top side will be coveting him, and nor should we be.

Based on performances over the last 18/24 months i would take Sharp over Broughton any day.

To be fair a couple of his try's from that game are a bit special, great play between him and Ratchford. Was impressed with him a few times last season aswell, looks like he will make a really good winger. To be honest from the little Ive seen of Broughton and the bit more Ive seen of Sharp I dont see how anyone could say one is better then the other. It would be either rose tinted specs because Sharp is a Hull player or someone looking to slag the club off for not signing Broughton, both look to have good potential and will be interesting to see them develop, they are of a similar age and experience.

Sharp looks to have a bit more to his overall game, were as Broughton looks to be more of an out and out sprinter, although that dosnt always transfer onto the field, as Richie Barnett Jrn (playing for Hunslet tonight) was probabally one of the fastest players over 100 meters Ive ever seen, he was lightning quick, and although he was a decent player for us never made a massive impact with ball in hand.

Great tackle on Gardner in the CC semi 2005 though. Pivotal point in the match.

From today - There are 20 players registered in SL who have played for Hull FC!!!

Jeez, that's not many. I thought we would have had at least 25 ourselves.

What are the stats on players that have played for other teams?

Far be it for me to question how many Harlequins & Salford games you have taken in over the last '18/24 months', but it's worth pointing out that, playing in what were pretty comparable sides, Broughton has outscored Sharp by 23 trys to 16 in that time period. Also, Broughton's trys to games ratio is more than twice as good as Sharp's.

Sorry playing for other Clubs (and you know that is what I meant clever B) Good Quiz question.

He was really shifting tonight when chasing tansey. Deffo one of the quickest players in SL
