Liam Colbon

Quote: Bomber's tash "Out recruitment & retainment is baffling at times. Tom Briscoe had a contract pulled away as he took too long weighing up his options. We were led to believe that this money was allocated for a replacement or other recruits. Before people start I know Lineham got an upgrade etc.

Last season Lineham, Crookes & Briscoe

This year Lineham, Crookes, talanoa, Biggs & Colbon

So we've replaced an international with one who has been out of the game as a dust man, one who has never been in the game and another who couldn't get a club!

I don't know what players are on but I'm guessing Biggs won't be leaving union for pittance & Talanoa didn't fly halfway across the world for nothing. We can't be far off paying what we'd have paid Briscoe?

Only one can play at a time as Lineham is a shoe-in so we appear to have wasted the chance to strengthen in other areas.'"

I would say radders is recruiting in areas we need and getting rid of players who where signed on far too much money and taking far to much of the cap up ie Macdonell , I exspect Arundale and crooks to follow when we get the chance

bomber signed people on far to much money in positions where we should be paying less remember what Pearson said in his interview on Fc live we no longer going to pay big money on the edges and we will pay out in the areas where it is important in the middle. Briscoe went to Leeds for a less than we originally offered him when he came back to the club he was offered less and choose to go to Leeds simple good move by Hull good cover who will be on next to nowt which will free up cap space for other more important areas like next year a cracking scrum half once a few more overpaid earners have been shipped out and just to add Biggs is not in the cap due to him being a union convert I think, so again good business with the cap in mind
