Quote: carl_spackler "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.'"


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.

Quote: F.C. Aces "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.
Well said. Too many times we make up our minds about a player before they've even played. Look at Thompson last week. Some people didn't even want him in the team and had written him off yet he scored a cracking try with his first touch of the ball.

I always liked Colbon but his lack of pace was his undoing for a winger, as was said earlier in this thread his form plummeted after his broken jaw and that saw him targeted by kickers. Solid pro all the same just a surprising signing. Does one of your 1st choice wingers have an injury that may be worse than feared?

Jason Crookes (not that I would say he's first choice) is out injured but I have no idea how long for. Anyone else shed any light on this?

Don't be bitter it must have hurt when he left for London, like I said before when the bigger clubs come knocking not a lot you can do.

I also heard we had to fight off Brisbane and Melbourne for his signature and a late bid from NZW

Can't believe we pulled it off.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?:



Maybe Lineham/Talanoa aren't 100% fit?

Still having Briscoe nightmares? Understandable.

Most disapointting for me is that we couldn't find a winger in the lower leagues with some potential.

Personally I would have looked at hurst or will sharp.

Alex Brown would have done a job for you, better than Colbon, couldn't understand why we let him go.

Not good enough for rovers or london, i know people say arundel isnt a winger but he has more pace ,younger, and would give him game time, hopefully colbon wont be even needed, imo still think arundel could do a job on the wing, i like the kid and think given the chance could be a good centre for us in the years to come,

I can only assume he can't afford to pay off his bar tab at Lenny's and is training/playing for free.

I also like Arundel and would be very shocked if he left.

Colbon as a replacement for Crookes i wouldn't have a problem with however. He let the club down before even pulling on the shirt.

Quote: Hasbag "Would be a kick in the teeth for young Tom Stark.'"


Comments like these are based on no more than the romantic sentiment that the club can produce a string of players through the ranks.

Should we really be throwing youngsters in before they are ready like Agar did to Reece Lyne and destroying his confidence.

Quote: hullovateam! "As mcgoldrick could cover at centre and push a faster player to the wing. Just saying rather have him than Colborn. Surely Doncaster would loan us a winger if in need. I think we have plenty of cover in the backs. Colborn just not required and not SL standard imo.'"


Good job the club don't ask for your opinion then. Amazing that now 4 different SL clubs have offered him work.

Some of our fans really need to have a look at themselves at times.
