"Robins in for Eden" on front page of League Weekly tomorrow.

Got a mate who is a hudds fan who says that it appears eden is leaving for rovers. Looked great when hudds were going great guns, cack when they weren't

I've got to be honest and say that I haven't seen enough of him to have a fully formed opinion. I certainly remember him having an absolute shocker against us at CP.

He's got potential and seems half a fullback at the moment in that he looks good going forward but his positional sense seems lacking.

I'm surprised that Huddersfield would be willing to let him go, seems a bit early to make a decision to get rid even though they've got Grix and Murphy.

Interesting points on the Giants board about what you want from a modern fullback, it's certainly a position that's changed a lot over the last few years. I'd rate my priorities as this.

1. Organising the defence.
2. Being solid under the high ball.
3. Joining the attack.
4. Kick returns.
5. One on one defence.

From the little I've seen I'd say Eden is good at numbers 3 and 4, I haven't seen enough to judge him on point 1 and has a lot of work to do on points 2 and 5.

Move East for Eden?

You'd think journalists might be capable of the occasional oblique literary reference.

Anyway - I'd have to accept Jake's assessment. Still be delighted if it comes off though.

Grix is a good option for at fb Hudds, Murphy looks much better on the wing or at centre IMO.
