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.

I would sell tickets for the half lime draw in the robins nest at 1.30 and who ever drew 1-17 had an hour to find a pair of boots.

He's not a goalkeeper, the FB doesn't fit into defensive line structures. His game is about positional sense, decision making, diffusing kicks and getting momentum into the counter set. Now, I know who's better at all those things.
Your fans can claim he's on extortionate sums of money, but that depends on budgets. By the same token we could say he came across on a one year deal to put himself in the shop window for a better club and succeeded.

There's a subtle difference between pivotal and pivot. By the way, Eden's probably neither, except in a negative sense.

But he didn't sign for wire/Wigan/Leeds/saints so in my eyes he hasn't signed for a better club

Really? Pointing and making sure there's no gaps is hardly difficult. I like the way you're trying to blame him for your full defensive problems, but unfortunately your other players need to take ownership.
