Dave Scott has been playing full back , not sure if ready for SL yet.
Arrundel ,Crooks & Crookes are better than Colborn from what I have seen at Doncaster !

He has mainly played wing though, could he be worst than Colbon.

Agree with you about Crookes and Crooks, but not sure about Arundel, was truly awful on the wing in his game there for Hull.

Good god no, Horne has never played centre and wing is a specialist position.

I'd play Crooks and Colbon for the London game with a view to replacing Colbon with Crookes against Wakey.

Well it was a long, long time ago but he played much of 2001 at centre when we had Paul Cooke and Tony Smith at half backs. He was a bit faster back then, of course.

Who's Colborn?

Obviously three memorable performances then.

Although I have tried to forget most of the back end of last year, tbf.

You've got an answer for everything.

Sorry Colbon , still doesn't make him any better !

Doesn't make any difference, everyone including him, knew who you meant, he was just being a d@ck.

Thanks for coming on here and letting us know how our players are getting on, don't let people like him put you off continuing to keep us informed.

Not the biggest fan of Dual Reg , but needs must , the attitude of the players who have played for the Dons has been excellent. Colbon had 1 game , looked overweight & lacked match fitness.
Wouldn't mind if Liam Kent signed for us as he seems a bit down the pecking order at FC.

Re: Squad for London : Mon Apr 21, 2014 12:59 pm  

Anyone know the team yet then?

I'd go with

Shaul; Talanoa, Yeaman, Crooks, Colborn;
Rankin, Miller;
Carvell, Houghton, Paea; Ellis, Whiting; Westerman.

Paleaaesina, Watts, Thompson, Heremaia.

No doubt Horne will be in there though, so probably Miller or Rankin to miss out.
Don't think Radford will be daft enough to leave out Heremaia again. We missed him badly on Thursday.

@James_Smailes: Hull FC: Shaul, Colbon, Crooks, Whiting, Talanoa, Rankin, Miller, Paea, Heremaia, Carvell, Ellis, Pitts, Westerman

@James_Smailes: Hull bench: Houghton, Thompson, Paleaaesina, Horne

Yeaman was due to start and whiting on the bench but took a knock according to smailes
