Kirk Dixon : Wed Oct 24, 2012 4:16 pm  

I was talking to one of the Directors from Hull K R today and he told me they are trying to sign Kirk Dixon to replace Jake Webster, thoughts anyone. I for one would be sad to see him go he adds a lot to the team and is the best we have under the high ball.

It wouldn't be a surprise at all. I heard only recently he was contemplating leaving the game alltogether due to illness and injury.

Could he be the robins new full back?

Re: Kirk Dixon : Thu Oct 25, 2012 2:47 pm  

As a person I really like Kirk, he's a proper decent guy. However as a player, he's struggles for pace he is injury prone and is nothing like the 'cross field high ball poacher' that he was a few years ago. So if the opportunity comes, then yes I'd let him go!.

Re: Kirk Dixon : Thu Oct 25, 2012 2:54 pm  

Thanks for the service Kirk but if that was to come to an end I wouldn't be sad. I think he'd be "the square peg in a round hole" of our three-quarter line next year which, on paper, has bags of pace which is something KD sadly lacks. Use his wages to sign Rhys Williams???

Was worth a place in the team as his goalkicking was strong. He won us a few matches with the last kick, most notably in the cup at Wakefield in 2011 which led to our games against Huddersfield and semi against Leeds, bringing in a substantialm amount of cash.
However, with Jamie Ellis a seemingly better kicker Dixon may fall behind Owen and Carney on the wing and definately Shenton and Webster in the centre.

Good finisher but too slow to be a winger, positioning & passing are abysmal so not suited to centre either.

Ye, get rid then when injuries and suspensions come in mid season put a 17 year old kid in out of his depth !!!!

Nothing like throwing some one to the wolves now that Rangi seems to be staying we need a new victim, loyalty must count for nothing

It is all over both our boards that it is Richard Owen we have offered you money for not Dixon!
