Because thats the sort of player you sign nowadays?

resigned with cas 2 year deal

Rather we went for someone like matty smith

No he hasn't.

I presume your referring to Long and Fitz?

Long is one of the best scrum halves this country has ever produced and Fitzgibbon is a solid rep player who would still have a genuine shot of making the current NSW setup if he was still plying his trade in the NRL. I would continue to be delighted all the time Hull FC are able to attract players of this calibre, regardless of their age.

The similarities between Danny Orr and the two above player’s end once you have identified they are all in the same age bracket.

For what it is worth my belief is that DO is still an extremely fit and capeable player as are many other players of his age in the SL sheds!!
why does age define most conversations these days or shall we say that a certain Oz Test and SOO captain is past it too??

I’m sure MrPhilb believes that he is too old and past his best. However, I imagine that would have been another story had he signed for the dobbins when they were allegedly after him.

ill guess at

Fielden to replace yak

melli to replace calderwood

tomas bosc as cover in the halfs

think berro,moa,o'meley,fitz and hame will tell you different

At least you are consistant with your bull www.independent.co.uk/sport/gene ... 14970.html
