briscoe is one of the strongest wingers in super league, great leg drive, you only have to look at the saints game for that 80m try, tansy is a quality fb too, if your just going to slate the youngsters and get rid of them, then the game will die, yes bricoe is a little suspect under the high ball but im 100% sure he is working on that and will get it sorted.

Tansey - I dont get why he gets such great praise. The epitomy of average imo. Give him a run at scrum half IMO
Calderwood - Not a bad player but injury prone
Briscoe - Total lack of experience, playing too many games, cant catch a bomb, falls over as soon as he hits a defender
Yeaman - Agian the epitomy of average
Hall - Great in attack, poor in defence. Kevin Penny mk2
Horne - Injury prone now and battling serious illness. Seems his best days are behind him.
Long - Fantastic career but sadly now no longer a top level player. Injury prone.
Turner - Again very average, would he be in Saints, Wigans or Leeds 25. Answer = no.

I think you're missing the point of this thread, and completely forgetting that we have a salary cap and quota to work around, not to mention players being available from other clubs.

Re: Backs 2011 : Mon Apr 12, 2010 3:59 pm  

Would briscoe need to catch a bomb at centre?

1. Tansey
2. Owen
3. Briscoe
4. Shenton
5. Murphy
6. Horne
7. Long

backed up by
1. Briscoe
2. Lyne
3. Turner
4. Hall
5. Tuffour
6. Nicklas
7. Williams

other players ooc are Colburn, Welham and er?

If we couldn't get owen I'd keep calderwood, Shenton I'd keep Yeaman.

Looking at our halfs I'm wondering if we'll see them on the pitch together so I'd be very tempted to let fitzgibbon go and make a big offer for ben barba.

Please explain.

i would like to see darrell goulding, can play both wing and centre, and extremely well too, i would release calderwood and depending on contracts i would look to get chris riley, he can play wing or full back, that would give us great cover all over, and if long gets injured riley switch to fb and tansy to 7.

why would riley want to come to hull at present??he's a regular in a top 4 team as it stands,so couldn't see him coming.

the rumours have been circulating in cas for a while concerning westerman and owen.shenton?????

Re: Backs 2011 : Mon Apr 12, 2010 7:54 pm  

i never said riley would come to hull, but the problem hull have is they dont enquire bout players enough, i accept he is on fire in a top 4 side at the moment, and shenton would equally be good thats why i said i would try and get darrell goulding, very good player imo in centre or wing and when roberts and phelps are back playing together, goulding wont be in the squad.

Re: Backs 2011 : Mon Apr 12, 2010 7:55 pm  

i also admit murphy would be top addition too.

Re: Backs 2011 : Mon Apr 12, 2010 7:56 pm  

I'm still not convinced that there is anything wrong with our current backline that a settled half back pairing wont solve and a decent gameplan.

Re: Backs 2011 : Mon Apr 12, 2010 7:57 pm  

But aren't Riley and Goulding contracted?

And how do you know we don't enquire enough?
