What he is decent ish at is being solid and metres out of our end! Nothing more for me. Appreciate his efforts for us but isn't super league standard.
If we was playing some top teams like saints in next few weeks I'd be massively worried! The try was a poor poor effort! If he'd been run over fair enough but to get stepped and walked round from there wasn't good. Not knocking him as such but if Sa comes in I'd push whiting to wing (really didn't wanna see whiting in backs anymore though) hurry up lineham!!!'"
Exactly how I see it. There's a reason that the worst team in SL didn't renew his contract and that he was sat around kicking his heels when we gave him a chance. He will be badly found out when we play a team who start to kick the ball high to him or in behind him near the line

| Quote: Mrs Barista "Not watched it back yet, but thought we did a decent job. Hudds were obviously weakened by a short turnaround, but we still controlled the game from start to finish and were led superbly by Ellis, Paea and Carvell who were all relentless. Our long kicking found their back 3 on the full too often, and goal-kicking remains an issue. Shaul showed some real flair and I like Talanoa a lot. Whilst Huddersfield were poor, we have often been criticised for failing to capitalise on opposition weakness and errors. When we do so, that's used to belittle a handy performance. Weird.'"
I've not seen anyone belittling the performance anywhere. Who is?

| Huddersfield was just as low in confidence as much as FC was..we responded better & got on the front foot better through our pack digging in...so anyone saying we beat a poor side is talking rubbish...remember this is the team that embarrassed us not so long ago & imo they've strengthened if out...so fair play to our lads for not letting them in the game even with the man of steel!

Fook me, if that's your idea of belittling you should stay away from these boards when we lose

Belittle to consider or speak of (something) as less valuable or important than it really is; disparage'"
Sounded like it to me, especially after a positive result. Still, what do I know?

Rubbish is a pretty big call against someone who goes into a super league game and apart from one defensive fail holds their own. A stop gap for sure but rubbish is too strong imo.

We all have opinions I guess. Fact is he was considered not good enough for london and no one else wanted him. He offers no attacking threat whatsoever and is shaky under the high ball (in fact he hides when they come his way)

People can try and convince themselves that colborn is a decent winger all they want but they'll realise at some point that he's way below the standard we need

Probably? I'd hope your mate has more sense than that. Just had a look at colborn's stats. he's attempted 26 tackles this year and missed 11 of them (58% success). talanoa has attempted 31 and missed 3 (90% success). The much maligned ben crooks has missed 19 of the 130 he's attempted (85% success)and arundel has missed 1 of 30 (975 success). Add in colborn being really poor under the high ball and his sluggishness and I stick by my opinion of him. By far the weakest experienced player in the squad. He's not bad at bringing the ball back but you always know it's just a case of him driving it in whereas with the other wingers look like they will break tackles once in a while

I know enough to see that huddersfield were below par last night but if you want to convince yourself otherwise knock yourself out.
