Yes he did do Ok for us, especially since he'd been out for so long. Like you say we had the Grix episode the year before and managed to do a deal for England out of it. Like above says our season was effectively over, so instead of giving a Wire player game time, we could have played a youngster like Crowther and given him the last 3 games of the season. Anyway it's no big deal, just a bit strange, especially since we've done no business with Wire in the off season.

Why risk one of our young lads when we can risk someone else's player?

Is that kevin larroyer still at hull kr 27 yr old french international? i think he"d be a good option at 2nd row was good at catalan a couple of years bk. Good runner backs up a lot for a 2nd rower & skill wise decent naturally fit. 6ft 15st good size aswell as handy in tries to games ratio for a 2nd rower aswell.

HKR have released Kelly, Allgood, Larroyer, Mantellato and Boudebze.

Re: Five New Signings : Thu Nov 10, 2016 9:28 pm  

Would look to snap up Boudebze.

Still would prefer an actual 9 rather than converted half.

Why, there's as good in the championship - if CC wants him fine but snap up material - not for me.

I'm not sure we've seen the last of Moore though...

Again why?

Re: Five New Signings : Thu Nov 10, 2016 9:49 pm  

I just think players who are actually specific to a role operate better than utility players. We saw the benefit of this with Moore at 9 as opposed to Howarth. If Moore is still here next season than fair enough.

Why is it a risk giving a young player a run out in 3 relatively pointless games at the end of the season. Imo it's an ideal situation to give a lad SL experience, surely that's what it's all about, isn't it?
