What a stupid comment, Tilse is nowhere near the worst player we have signed, you either have only recently began to attend matches or don't bother watching them. Tilse is a decent prop, who with some additions in the pack for 2016 will be a vital part of the squad

Rover 49 I have been watching HULL KR for 50 yrs now i used to go to every game home and away, not now i do not live in hull but watch every game in the super league on sky and more been to wembley more times then you have had hot dinners and what i have seen of him he has come for a holiday he is not the first and will not be the last what i have seen he is rubbish

It's not a stupid comment, it's his opinion. Tilse is very very average, and offers very little value for one of the quota spots. I wouldn't hesitate in letting him return to Oz if that's an option. The Raiders fans I've spoken to here weren't exactly distraught at him leaving either. Again, just my (and a lot if others') opinion, doesn't make us all stupid, we just see things differently.

WELL said

It's not stupid to have an opinion but it is stupid to say he is one of the worst signings ever he's a lot better than Clinton , crossman , and numerous others I could mention

Maybe but i do not rate him at all

I have kept out of the Tilse debate for now, as I felt he needed time to settle. He's not the worst signing the club has made, he's not even the worst prop we have signed in SL. Lets remind ourselves of some vintage names:

Jim Gannon
David Mills
Garrett Crossman
Ervan Tuimuvave
Danny Ward
Ryan O'Hara

All the above signed since 2007, all gash and pinched a living whilst at Craven Park. (maybe not Ervan but a tree-puller he certainly was not). Tilse is better than all of them.

However, is he good enough to use our last overseas spot on? I suspect not.

i have to agree with this in comparison to the above tilse is slighty better

Fozzard?

Add Ryan Bailey as well as Nick Fozzard to the list.

Tilse has played well in patches. Outstanding in our CC victories against Wigan and Warrington. His problem is that he hasn't reproduced his NRL form to date nor has he delivered the contribution of Mick Weyman, whose quota spot he was signed to fill.

If he does return next year, I expect he will step it up for us after a complete preseason.

Re: Squad to play wakefield. : Sat Sep 05, 2015 5:28 pm  

In 52 years. Of watching us, Tilse would not be in my top 100 worse players

Re: Squad to play wakefield. : Sat Sep 05, 2015 6:57 pm  

Fozzard isn't on the list because when he played he made a difference and we missed him when he wasn't on the pitch.

One ugly mother though.

Joel Clinton has to be the worse signing in comparison to the money he was on and a special mention for our 1986 signing Lindsey Johnson
