I'd like to think we offered Bradford the chance to take these two, and maybe others, to help them out

Re: Adam O'Brien : Fri Feb 17, 2017 8:11 am  

don't understand this decision at all hes a cracking player

Re: Adam O'Brien : Fri Feb 17, 2017 8:56 am  

On last night's performance, I think we signed the wrong O'Brien lol

Boom, quality signing for Fax. I do think that Huddersfield will be in the bottom 4 with the team they have so its a complete surprise for us to be able to bring in a player of AOB's quality. Great news as well for Fax that 2 of Huddersfields better players last night were their hookers so hopefully that will continue and we can get him for a bit longer.

Just listened to the post match interview with stone. He was asked about Adam Obrien. "We were looking to use him game one with hinchy at lock" "It was a difficult one, he didn't come here to be a trained professional" "the dual reg with Oldham wasnt going to be adequate" "he had to go to Halifax for a moth to get some game time" " hopefully he will come back into our squad in the future " don't know what to make of that?

Sounds to me like hes been lazy in training and not done what is asked of him - sounded like Stone had intended on playing him initially...

Rick has always said he won't pick or keep players who won't buy into what he's doing, seems Adam hasn't been pulling his weight either then !.

Re: Adam O'Brien : Fri Feb 17, 2017 7:22 pm  

Hard to understand wh if he's been given his chance he hasn't lept at it. Unless he was hoping to be picked up by someone that would play him first choice. At the stage he was selected everyone would have a settled first and possibly second choice hooker.

I'd imagine his nose has been put well out of joint that a younger less experienced player has been picked over him. Leeming has come on leaps and bounds in the last preseason and fully deserves his spot. Hinchcliffe prefers loose, stone prefers Hinchcliffe at loose- all suggests obrien hasn't done enough to show he should be at 9.
