we lost 8 or so games by 6 points or less last year.
when you have a two on one or one on one and the fullback pretty much lets the attack through instead of putting his body on the line shaun briscoe style it can be the difference in taking the two points or loosing them.

i don't claim eden is billy slater, i know shannon is certainley not. average at best.
put your sock away.

Love it put your sock away Shaun Brisco was one on his own absolutely put his body on the line even Sam Tompkins ain't a great tackler is he but grt in attack, I think Eden and McDonnell pretty much even in attack maybe McDonnell a tadge better in defense however Eden is still learning and will be a cracking full back

It more than definitely is the job of the full back to organise the defensive line, what doesn't help is having the leagues worst defensive patterns and a bunch of players too thick to follow a basic game plan.

Eden's about where I thought he'd be. He had an absolute horror of a game for Huddersfield at CP last season. He's good going forward (that style of carrying the ball aside, we noted it last week, terrible) but his positional play and reads leave an awful lot to be desired.

Briscoe is a bit of an anomaly in the modern game, one on one tackling isn't that valued, or expected any more, the ground is generally too firm and players have too much foot work.

I noticed a lot of Huddersfield fans thinking last season that Eden fancied himself a bit too much, well he needs to grow up and realise he's a young player with an awful lot to learn, he has to knuckle down and listen, someone could do with having a hard word with him. Our coach once turned a very very good winger into a bit better one, with such a reputation surely Eden should be a project that's easily managed.

I think you shud tell Eden

Strictly speaking, he'd have signed for a better club if he'd signed for Wigan, Warrington, Saints, Catalans, Leeds, Hull FC, Huddersfield, Wakefield or Bradford. Maybe even Salford.

When a team breaks through nine times out of ten they score, you say Briscoe put his body on the line but he rarely stopped tries. Mind, Shannon has put his body on the line a few times for us this year. Maybe it's a Sandercock thing, as none of your players seemed willing to put their bodies on the line last night either.

In your wildest dreams maybe

No, going by what I saw last season.

How many of those 6 did mcdonnell play in? So if the FB organises your defence and your defence was a lot better last season then what has changed full back wise since then?????

Honestly mate, you're convincing no one

Not trying to convince anyone just stating my opinion, or is there only you allowed to have one?

Now you're getting the hang of this frum

Could even turn into a frum frenzy.

I viewed this strand thinking it would be about the possible HKR team Vs Warrington this Sunday, it turned out to be a slagging off session between FC & KR fans.

Boring.
