loved him when he played for us thought he was a class act, only seen him play a few games for you,, how have y'all took to him?

He's a good little player and seems like a smashing bloke, as a replacement 9 I think he can do a job. As a 7 he isn't good enough IMO. I hope he ends up back with you guys, as rumours would suggest.

Good at times, 100% effort, pretty injury prone but done a good job for us in difficult circumstances, and a great bloke: can he take us to the next level, seriously doubt it, so we are now sending him back with thanks!

Big mate of your new coach though!

100% player but not good enough IMO

Player i like a lot but to be effective he needs quick play the balls and the chance to use his pace off the mark.
Sadly that was all to infrequent in our team.
Good luck to him if he does return to Wakey.

Can't fault his effort and enthusiasm, but we have better options in his positions next year so I hope he moves on.

hope he does end up back with us,,,but yeah i agree hes better as a 9

another one in the 'can't fault his effort and not a bad player, but not world class either' category...a category the squad is overloaded with.

I like the little guy.

Don't disagree although oddly enough he might not have been a good enough 7 as some say but was the most "7 like" player we have had in that position since Adam Dykes. Obst with an improved kicking game would be a first choice SL half IMO but overall we need better. If he goes good luck to him - 100% player not afraid to take the line on.

I wouldn't say so. That's still Long, he just didn't play often enough. His game was still that of a 'proper 7' though.

I know you're going to say that he didn't take the line on enough, but I think a lot of that came from rarely ever being truly fully fit whilst here. And if anything Obst had the opposite problem, taking the line on was most of what he had to offer.

I like Obst, and I shudder to think how bad 2011 would have been if he hadn't become 'unexpectedly available'. The alternatives were not good.
His defence was exposed a few times - he hasn't got the physical presence to compensate for being even slightly out of position. His kicking game is not really good enough, but we should have recruited a half back with a good kicking game years ago.
I'm not sure how much game time he'll get at Hull next year, but I wish him well whether he stays or goes.

I like Obst and don't see why people would want to get rid of him as he is a fantastic squad player. In the past when our major half back has being out injured we have just fell to pieces and in Obst I certainly feel we have a player who can step in and at least hold the team together. We won't be world class but he'll do a job against the lower teams.

If we were to get rid I would hope it is only to help make way for a major signing, otherwise I'd be happy for him to see his contract out.

Too expensive to be playing 20's most weeks

with our luck on the injury front , I'd highly doubt that!
