does anyone no when the sqaud number's are out, then i can nip to the k.c for the name and number on the bk of my fc shirt

Quote ="Dave K."=#0000FFNo, Turner wasn't injured just not good enough, thats why Berrigan was moved there, do you see the point yet? Is you are happy with Berrigan's form then great, but expect a season like last few where we achieve little if that your expectations. I expect more from the players that play for Hull. Houghton produced many good performances at hooker with some very good ones, hopefully Berrigan will do next year, that would do me. Your right about Berrigan being better though. www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2010'" Not really, Turner got concussed, Berro filled in. The rest i'll just file in my "better things to do than respond to that drivel" folder.

2 games. Leeds and Hull KR at home and if I remember correctly both games his winger saw plenty of good ball and he did indeed assist Briscoe for a try against Leeds.

Shaun Berrigan is a quality centre.

Ah, I forgot about the leeds game. I'm probably thinking that he was moved out of position due to Radford's sending off.

Just get Berrigan 4 or Fitzgibbon 8 and say you're making a statement if those numbers aren't the actual ones.

This game when Berrigan was at centre and Turner on the bench? www.superleague.co.uk/report.php?id=3314141 Drivel, so you honestley think Berrigan has been a good signing for Hull, he must be the highest paid player at Hull and we aren't getting our moneys worth from him, I would love him to do well at hooker or centre for Hull, but up to now he hasn't be good enough. With your opinions about him (on your own) you must be a personal friend or family member.

Without having the stats at hand id guess Berrigan would have played more SOO and international games in the centres then at dummy half, I remember him scoring a great long range try in a test at maybe Wigan or Hudds, his strike rate at centre was very good, im sure he scored 20 trys in one season aswell, in my opinion Berro hasnt had the impact for us at dummy half like he did in his last season in the NRL, we could really do with someone with his quality out wide in my opinion.

Likewise with Richard Horne, we can get a far better player than him for his money!!

Spot on re the tries. IIR he played a lot of his tests off the bench but did play a lot in the centres too. I may be wrong but not sure he ever started at 9 for Oz.

It's worth saying that the Berrigan you speak is not the one playing at Hull now, his pace has dropped dramatically since he came over here and certainly since he played centre for Brisbane/Aus.

Not sure about that. Think he's faster than what he looks. Strong as an ox too. Main advantage for us is his brain as a centre both defensively and attacking wise.

He could not go the full length now, no chance. He is quick over 20 yards and does have strength and a brain, i'd like to see him play centre this season but I am worried about the lack of cover at hooker, don't want Houghton playing too many minutes.

When do our centres see the ball on our own half to go more than 40 metres anyway?



Yes lack of cover at 9 is a concern but not a major worry. As has been said before, if we cant bring a 9 in we need to play Washy there. I'd rather bring a 9 in but if not it's not the end of the world due to Washy's versatility. If we dont use him at 9 i cant see where else we will play him this season.

Washy will either cover hooker from the bench or will be injury cover for the backrow I guess.

Wonder if Brad Drew would be worth a year as cover for 9?

Is he OOC?

If he's OOC i'd bring him in as starting 9 and cover for Long for 12 months.

Rumoured to be player coach at Barrow next season.

Released by Hudds I think.

Is that alongside Jon Sharp and Garry Schofield??

Dont need a centre who can go 80 metres as much as we need a centre who can releae the pace of Briscoe, Sharp and Lyne much the same as Gidley was never a flyer but turned Gardner into a try scoring machine!

Gary Schofield is doing a very important job for South Africa RL apparently.

I'd defo have a look at him.

If we sign monoghan will he insist on k9????

Why have you developed this fixation with playing Washbrook at hooker? He's shown nothing to suggest he'd be a good hooker on a regular basis. I'd play him there in an absolute emergency, and only then. To go into the season with him as one of our two interchange hookers would be very foolish. All IMVHO, of course.

Me too, providing he is fit then worth a year.

Did you read what i wrote? I said 'if we cant bring another 9 in i'd play Washy there'

Hows that a fixation? (and more importantly, i think we're agreeing that it's a last resort by what i wrote)

I disagree though about what he's demonstrated. I've seen all the core skills from him to think he'll do a decent job there if needed.
