| Quote Gordon Gekko="Gordon Gekko"The lad may have played at s/o but was never given a proper role in the side.'"
Agreed. When he played last season he did fine. This season though, even Cooke was a bit part player. What chance did I'Anson have of making a mark?

Excellent point mate, but just saying I think it was a poor performance lacking creativity (though I realise the conditions made creative play a lot harder).

| Quote Gordon Gekko="Gordon Gekko"Don't agree.
I simply don't see him as a loose forward and i'm not sure what he actually brings to the position. He has all the skills necessary to be a pretty decent No.9 and i think thats where he'll end up.'"
We'll agree to disagree then. I thought he had all the skills to be a decent 13 when i saw him last season but i think he lacks the core skills to be a 9 such as crisp passing from the floor and experience of decision making in and around the ruck.

I'd have stuck with him to allow Murrell to play 13, or bring a loan player in.

Were the conditions really that bad? It was a warm(ish) day, didnt rain until second half.... id take that weather compared to the derby the other season were Webster got that drop goal.

Just out of interest what skills do you think he brings to the LF role??
As for the hooking role his passing off the floor is pretty good and his decision making will improve with more time in the position. The problems Rovers have at the ruck is players not showing enough urgency to get off the floor. I also reckon he played more at 9 in his acadamy days with Leeds than Danny Houghton did with Hull

I still think he's got a lot to offer, I agree he's not been on top form this season, but to be fair who has? I don't think anyone has played consistently well.

| Given a choice what would you have then...
Boring rugby all the way to Old Trafford or exciting rugby that finishes the 1st week of the play offs.
Winning ugly is not a bad thing, i'll bet Kevin Walters would swap your points for his in a heartbeat.

Not a good enough defender to play hooker IMO.
Also looks too slow, I quite like Murrell but really not sure what poistion I would play him, certainley too slow for 6, think it has be be 13.
From what I have seen this season Rovers have 2 better hookers than Murrell in their sqaud, also like the look of Powley and Spaven.

Hate to bet against my own team, but £100 says we don't make it to Old Trafford?!

Well we'll agree to disagree.
Murrell will end up as a hooker and a pretty decent one. He is strong and clever out of dummy half and his passing accuracy and speed is more than good enough. Not quick compared to Danny Houghton or James Roby but then neither is Keiron Cunningham or Matt Diskin. He is also a superb kicker out of dummy half.
I have to admit i have not seen a great deal of Powley but i don't think Spav has what it takes to make it in SL. Josh Hodgson though will be an outstanding no.9 and is a future international imho.

Think I will leave this one, didnt we are a big discussion on hookers a couple of weeks ago.
Hookers seem to br mine and yours chosen subject at the moment
I'm very happy that the number 1 hooker in Hull has just signed a new contract with us.

Try watching the game in the present and not going off past reputation.
This season he has been by far. I think you find it hard to find any Hull fan that would say Berrigan this season (and maybe last) has been better than Houghton.
Sounds weird for but Berrigan getting injured had really helped Hull and houghton in the long term

Tansey was always a 7 or a 9 at Leeds. Does that mean he isnt a great full back now?
I agree about FC though!
