Quote: SirStan "Sands, as our "full back" guru on here, what do you think to Eden?
Despite his error count (thanks to La Cafe for bringing this to a wider audience), he had a promising debut season for the Giants. I think they would be mad to let him go.'"
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.
