I'd take Arundel at Rovers in a heartbeat. Then again, have you seen our centres?

Good piece of business top class wingers are hard to find, especially those without a club.

Indeed they are. When you find one, what will you do with Colbon?

If its a swap of injured Crookes for a fit Colbon then I'm ok with it and it probably frees up cap space.

Don't understand the lack of love for Arundel, Crooks and Yeaman have both been regularly injured over the last couple of seasons, who's going to fill in for them ?

Tut Tut, Colbon one of the great wingers of our time, shame you can't see class when it's right in front of you, or did you stand in the South Stand?

The chances are Crooks or Yeaman will be missing a few games and Arundel gives us good cover, I don't know what he earns, what would be the point in releasing him now? Is there any available players better? Colbons not and we can afford them all under the cap.

And as proven with Briscoe, even harder to keep.

With Crookes injured and no sign of Biggs, makes sense to have some experienced cover. Stark still 12 months away IMO.

Welcome to the Black & Whites Liam

Very true, when the big boys come knocking not a lot you can do.

Even without injuries Arundel can push for a place IMO. Yeaman looked much better than last year against Catalan, but if his form goes back to like last year I'd personally give Arundel a go. Likewise if Crooks misses tackles for fun like on Friday his place should also come under threat. I think it's far from cut and dried who are our 2 best centres.

hold your horses guys. You might be pleasantly surprised as with other signings
that went ok on Friday

To be fair, I often had an obsured view of him, usually caused by my hands over my eyes as he prepared to diffuse a bomb.

I am not sure about Colbon either but like any new player at the club he deserves a chance at least. To write him off already at a new club with a different set up and culture is just crazy. I like the way Radders is going about things and not playing players out of position, which as been our downfall in recent years. He will be wearing the black and white of Hull now and he will get my support. I just hope he is yet another one to prove all the doubters wrong again. Welcome To Hull F.C. Liam.

Yeamo certainly looked better on Friday night than he did last season and I believe Radford said that he hadn't been enjoying his rugby under Gentle? Hopefully that means Yeaman can now keep up the kind of performance he gave on Friday night.

I personally think that Crooks is better than Arundel but it's good that we now have depth in the squad (not just at centre but in all positions) that if someone's form dips that they can be replaced and there is someone waiting to take their chance.

Not sure on this one for you guys, although signing someone with a point to prove is not a bad thing...

When he played for us I thought he had a reasonable/decent first season, he is more like a second rower so although not that pacey is quite strong on exit sets and not too bad close to the opposition line.

He wasn't the same after getting his jaw broken, in that he seemed to lose a bit of confidence and made some errors particularly under the high ball. It moved him from being a solid unspectacular winger to just an unspectacular winger.

Our backup winger is likely to be Caro, so I can't say that Colbon is bad as far as back ups go. Although Alex Brown would have likely been a better option for both clubs.
