| Quote: Rock God X "For what it's worth, I'm neither impressed nor unimpressed. I'm keeping an open mind. He seems to be a talented player who's had a bit of a nightmare with injuries. On that basis, 3 years is a bit of a risk, but I'd like to think that this risk has been accounted for in his contract terms. If he manages an extended injury free run, he could turn out to be just the ticket.'"
Pretty much my stance also. Maybe a tad more optimistic based on comments from the Wigan fans. I really haven't seen enough of him to form a more rounded opinion at this point. The injury record doesn't concern me as much as some, since it appears to be a single underlying problem that took a long time to diagnose and rectify.

I doubt they will release him, looks a great prospect.

Not a bad shout but seems to ball watch alot to me although wether thats because every time I've seen him play theyve been preety poor.

Think he's signed for Widnes hasn't he?
Not sure what to make of O'Carroll to be honest, the only game I ever remember seeing him play was the Bradford game, so nowhere near enough to decide.
As others have said hope his contract is weighted to include appearances so if he does get injuries then it won't hit us too hard in the pocket.

We've let him go to Widnes. Atrocious move.
And now we've let another young English prop go. Not a good move again IMO.
Eamon O'carroll has been back for a few weeks. He's gained some fitness in the U20's. He impressed enough to quickly make his return against Bradford and had a good game. rlhttp://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics_player?hs1
The injury he sustained that kept him out of the game for 18 months was something no-one had heard of at the club. We got advice from all over Europe and eventually something has worked out. I'm pleased we stood by him during this, but disappointed we haven't seen if it was all worth it. Prior to his injury when both him and Paul Prescott were coming through I would have labelled him the better prospect. Prescott though has had a more consistent run in the team and has done very well in fairness.
He's a tough lad. Stocky and hard to tackle. Will give his all and is a likeable character. He's at a young age and if he stays fit he could be a very shrewd signing with the lack of quality English prop forwards in the game and the ever decreasing overseas quota.
Hull FC (and Wigan had we kept him) have nothing to lose.

| Not sure what to think about this signing as I don't think I've ever seen him play so will wait till next year to judge him.
And hasn't Davies signed for Widnes?

Surprised you let him go to Widnes, like mentioned he looks a very good prospect. O'Carol may prove to be a decent signing (I hope so), bit of a risk but hopefully the price will have reflected that...thanks for the information.

Don't start that all I said was he needs to work on his defence before he's ready for SL. Then everybody's down my throat. I think he's a cracking prospect but I wouldn't throw him straight in as that could ruin him.
