Interesting point of view, and a rather different one when compared to your comments on said player in June, when he was rumoured to be heading your way
Or this, on the same day

Has he really deteriorated so dramatically in 6 months?

Yeah, before his injury in August he had a chance.

My comments are nothing to do with the fact we'd not signed Sneyd or Pryce by then, plus I still maintain he's better than Robson.

Roopy as usual has hit the nail on the head,1 year deal perfect, canberra will pay the majority of the wages,a class act if he stays fit and as roopy says a improvement on dobbo,so a relatively low risk deal.
I wish we had signed 33 year old pryce on a 3 year deal,like our inferior neighbours.

I like you Stan, you're like a mini Mrs. B.

Another import at Hull KR, well i never!

9 minutes late, dude.

The 16 games you got from Dykes in 2008 would be a fair return, just about. Hopefully with Kelly in the squad we'll be less reliant on TC than you were on AD.
Reading the Canberra forum, and if we're looking for a Hull FC equivalent, as we inevitably must, I was minded more of some Hull fans' attitude to Richard Horne over the last few years - with less diplomatic language, admittedly.

Stan mentions that it increases the risk of us carrying an injured half. On the flipside, it reduces the risk of that being hugely damaging to our chances.
It has positive knock-ons too - Blair becomes more of an option in the centres, in turn meaning that Horne should focus completely on being a second-row.
Boudebza for Hodgson is (prospectively) a major trade-down in an important position, but it's hard to maintain standards across the board in this market. Hull haven't really directly replaced Heremaia (Cunningham is still promising rather than proven, I think it is fair to say) and it's hard to find any quality of depth at the moment, particularly at hooker it seems.

Very good! Assuming you did that fro the craic.

The trouble with running a sweepstake and being the only entrant, is it's a break-even exercise at best.

Problem you have is you'll have two halves that will only have had a month of pre-season together and that are extremely injury prone above normal levels in a contact sport. In theory they're a pretty well matched pair, Campese can't run and that's all Kelly does.

As an aside, how many academy graduates are likely to play regularly next year, given your squad numbers?
