I liked Ned Kelly as Widnes boss but I don't know what he was thinking when he signed Hobbo.I recall Neil's final game in charge of Widnes when Wigan thrashed us at the Halton stadium.Hobson picked a fight with Gareth Hock and the two of them went toe to toe.Hock must have conceded around five stones in weight to his opponenent but guess who came second best.

Hobbo came with a high reputation as one of Halifax's only decent SL quality players in that squad, as a hard worker and a grafter. I swear, I remember going on their site and asking them and they were really positive about him!

Then he showed his true face. Ill disciplined, average, lightweight. He seemed to give away three or four penalties a match on his own, and he certainly didn't justify that with levelled aggression or good skill.
