Don't often comment now but feel the Mrs B is being selective in her stats, so to put the record straight McDonnell v Eden
McD----------------------------Eden
6--------------Tries--------------8

142----------ave gain-----------193
278-----------Carries------------359
12---------Clean Breaks----------22
7--------Kicks in gen play---------5

27--------Missed Tackles----------22

35----Runs from dummy half-------86
119----------Tackles--------------79
www.superleague.co.uk/player/11352 Eden
www.superleague.co.uk/player/2435 McDonnell
If those stats for Eden suggest a Kevin Penny, What do McDonnell's suggest?
And for your information Scott Dureau had the most errors last season with 53, so I bet you wouldn't touch that No7 with a barge pole, could turn out to be another Chris Thorman.

Mrs B might play the 'appearance' card:
Shannon played 21
Greg played 24
cue, the process of averaging. . .

| Quote ="Houghtons Heroes"What biased cack you talk. My personal opinion is that the signings you have made are pretty dire in contrast to the ones you've sold. Eden is nowhere near=#FF0000 McDonnell's quality. The fact you didn't see the best of him is down to your coaching team. Much the same as Watts. He's a far better player under a decent coach and setup. Taylor will also be the same.
Its called a contrary opinion. If you don't like 'em, you really need to bury your head, ostrich-boy.'"
Absolute comedy gold, you have just confirmed what most on here have thought since you started posting.
On the plus side at least you had no credibility to loose.

| I don't think its just the money in Cas Tigers case though. When you live and work in Castleford (like Joe Westerman and Joe Arundel before their move to Hull FC) you are in a fish-bowl environment. Its a small town at the end of the day and it benefits some players to move out of that confine.

| As it stands i think Mcdonell is a better player than Eden, the only area that Eden is better is his running in open play, he is one of the best in SL at that.
However Eden has much more potential IMO, could turn out to be an international FB, if he improves in a couple of areas.
He is also British, younger and I would guess cheaper than Mcdonell (although you have paid a fee for him).
I would just about prefer Eden to Mcdonnell for those reasons, but am quite happy with Mcdonnell as it stands.

Just read that, really don't understand this, so can Hudds just take him back?
Would they have to pay the fee back, what if Eden didn't want to leave Rovers, seems a very unclear and strange clause?

| Believe it's similar to the Amor situation but KR have paid the fee to have him basically on loan for 2 years where we can't re call him in these 2 years

“The proposal from Hull KR clearly is in Greg’s best interests and we have included a clause giving us the option for Greg to return to the Giants at the end of the 2014 season. He thus moves on with our very best wishes. We will naturally follow his progress with great interest and are confident that this is the right arrangement for ourselves, Hull KR and most importantly Greg himself.”
A lot of clubs include an option to have the first refusal if a player decides to move on

Then surely he is out of contract at that time with Shudds and can do as he pleases, also bearing in mind Shudds reported he had signed for us for 4 years while we have said three years it all smacks of appeasing the fans for letting him go in the first place.

For a start they have the length of the contact at HKR wrong.
Me thinks someone is trying to appease an annoyed set of Hudds fans.

I love to see good British talents given a go to show their talents, if Ben Barba was English he'd have spent last season in reserves whilst a average Ozzie played, but in what world does Eden have more potential than Hardaker?
In fact don't bother, lifes too short.
