nobodys saying obst is a world class half back,but he will do for me.he gives 100% is versatile ,tricky and is good in defence.a lot of big name aussies come over on big contracts and dont deliver.i like players who look commited to the cause,obst is such a player.

In a nutshell.

fair doo's. just pointing out that a club as big as fc should be challenging wire, wigan, shudds and saints (my top 4 prediction for this year btw). obst is not of that quality imo. brough seems to be getting better every year, the club let him go, hind sights a wonderful thing.

dobson is probably the best 7 in sl. i will admit were garbage without him, but our club seem to know the importance of spending to the cap and putting quality where its needed even if there is no plan b.

Agree with that. Thought he'd be a good signing for you. Obst, T.Leuluai, M. Monaghan - just so valuable to their squads, IMO. Not saying they're all of equivalent quality, necessarily, but Hull, Wigan and Warrington would look a good bit weaker without them.

Tommy Lee

He still isn't brilliant, no matter how highly you rate him. he's looked OK in a Hull side who have been crying out for someone with a bit of energy in the halfs. he isn't a great organiser and he isn't particularly creative, he hasn't got a great kicking game but he is enthusiastic and he hasn't even been injured yet. The deficiencies we've had in the halfs for 4 years now do not make sam obst brilliant by any stretch of the imagination

Brough wouldn't be the player he is now if he'd stayed at Hull

we could sign cooper cronk and some on here would say what we signed that plodder for.id like to know who some on here would sign.just say we havent signed obst for next year,who do we go for?
