McDonnell is a far better player under a different coaching set up?
Tell me, who was a main part of his coaching set up at Newcastle?
Fwiw I rate McDonell as probably the 3rd/4th best fb in Super League however I think Eden has potential to be the best if Tomkins leaves.

Taylor will also be the same.
Its called a contrary opinion. If you don't like 'em, you really need to bury your head, ostrich-boy.'"
Nah the fact that we didnt see the best of him was because he was already in exit mode after a couple of months and then he got injured!
So how can you tell how good he is?... especially with those big fat black and white blinkers on! |

He could have seen him play for Wests or Newcastle. |

Don't often comment now but feel the Mrs B is being selective in her stats, so to put the record straight McDonnell v Eden
McD----------------------------Eden

278-----------Carries------------359
12---------Clean Breaks----------22

119----------Tackles--------------79
www.superleague.co.uk/player/11352 Eden
www.superleague.co.uk/player/2435 McDonnell
If those stats for Eden suggest a Kevin Penny, What do McDonnell's suggest?
And for your information Scott Dureau had the most errors last season with 53, so I bet you wouldn't touch that No7 with a barge pole, could turn out to be another Chris Thorman. |

Mrs B might play the 'appearance' card:
Shannon played 21
Greg played 24
cue, the process of averaging. . . |

Absolute comedy gold, you have just confirmed what most on here have thought since you started posting.
On the plus side at least you had no credibility to loose. |

I don't think its just the money in Cas Tigers case though. When you live and work in Castleford (like Joe Westerman and Joe Arundel before their move to Hull FC) you are in a fish-bowl environment. Its a small town at the end of the day and it benefits some players to move out of that confine.

As it stands i think Mcdonell is a better player than Eden, the only area that Eden is better is his running in open play, he is one of the best in SL at that.
However Eden has much more potential IMO, could turn out to be an international FB, if he improves in a couple of areas.
He is also British, younger and I would guess cheaper than Mcdonell (although you have paid a fee for him).
I would just about prefer Eden to Mcdonnell for those reasons, but am quite happy with Mcdonnell as it stands.

Just read that, really don't understand this, so can Hudds just take him back?
Would they have to pay the fee back, what if Eden didn't want to leave Rovers, seems a very unclear and strange clause? |

Believe it's similar to the Amor situation but KR have paid the fee to have him basically on loan for 2 years where we can't re call him in these 2 years
