I can honestly say good riddance to him, he wasn't interested in playing for us and it showed. I'll take Eden for all his inexperience. McDonnell was a waste of space and money.

CS has made some very poor signings, Eden ain't one of them!

Of course FC fans are going to say McDonell is better than Eden but its just not the case.

McDonnell will create more tries though, Eden is a fast Shaun Briscoe, but not even a tenth as good defensively.

I'll not comment on the wage thing, as neither you nor me have a clue what either is earning.

That's just BS.

Which bit?

I'd say he pretty much sums it up.

Eden's not better than McDonnell Stan, and I'd have said that last year too. McDonnell is capable of being a pivot, Eden isn't. He sums up your team perfectly. Fast and able to score tries, but shocking defensively.

Hudds were not bothered about him leaving.

Agreed, Eden scored a try last night that only him and Sam Tompkins could of scored in SL because they're confident in their ability running with the ball.

But then they opted for the first refusal clause, obviously are to a degree.

You silly Hull fans still going on about pivot players, thought you lot had got over that one when you tried claiming Motu Tony was a better full back than Briscoe.

So he scored two try's and had a hand in how many of the others we scored? And he is no pivot player?

And you think Rovers where after losing MCDonell?

I thought mcdonnell was bang average last year but admit I didn't see that much of him. he's been excellent so far this season and has probably been our best player in our 4 games to date. At this stage of his career he is way better than eden. Anyone claiming he isn't is talking garbage. eden has plenty of potential and may go on to be a very good player but currently has massive flaws in his game

You're seeing McDonnell behind a lot better defence than Eden at the minute, believe those of us that had the pleasure of watching him all last year, if exposed in the way Eden is being, he has the ability to every bit as poop.

sam tomkins would look poop at fullback playing for rovers!


until you get your defence sorted it wouldnt matter who was fullback!

Well Rovers offered him a new deal, didn't they?

Your opinion of him changed as soon as he turned the deal down and he was linked to Hull FC.
