I not sure some who post on here watch Hull.
Shaul has been excellent this season a improved so much on last year, he certainly is safer under the high ball and has better positioning. His one on one defence is very good in open play, maybe lacks a bit of strenght near the line though
His biggest weakness is his link up play near there line when acting as a pivot, his passing can be inaccurate and he sometimes makes the wrong option, but I am sure that this will all be improved on other the years.
Personally I think Shaul is a better FB than Mccdonell already and will only get better, he is also less injury prone and miles better value for money.
Why anyone would consider moving him from there (especially for a player who has only played a couple of games for us at FB and looked nothing special there.) is madness.
You think? I don't, I've also watched him time and again afraid to get his hands dirty near our line and not even bother attempting to stop a try..his commitment in defence is questionable at times. In attack that's a different matter but then it's far easier to attack than defend as a FB.
He cetainly isn't a better FB than SM
, but then you and certain others would say that wouldn't you? The kid has talent, bags of speed and enthusiasm in attack but he's plenty to go before he steps up to the next level, he's not even in the the top 5 of SL fullbacks.
VFM, sure he is, potential to get better, yup, totally agree, at fullback, I'm not convinced personally. He won't be moved for sure and his attitude of not wanting to be moved early doors to the wing when we actually needed someone kinda put us in a spot tbh but that's down to whatever he & the coach have discussed. I just don't think his commitment in defence has what it takes to make an exceptional all round FB.
