He would be a poor man's Ryan Brierley at HB. An out & out winger/FB.

From the four games I've seen him play this year he's started at both FB and HB in a versatile role.
I'm just using Greg Eden as an example of the type of players that can be found in the QLD and NSW competitions.

| Eden has played i the halves, sure he played 6 for the England knights too. Sort his defensive issues out he would be a fantastic player, saw a rumour the other day he was signing for cas next year though? Think he would flourish under Powell

Fair point. Does this Eden lad have fully functioning hamstrings??

That's the big rumour mate.
I'd certainly go all out and being him over early, if he wants to come.

If we are talking rumours, he won't be doing much flourishing under Powell at Cas next year... and that isn't to say he won't sign for them either

| Why on earth are people discussing using a fullback to solve our scrum half problem again? Do people not learn anything?

Well said, he's most certainly not the answer! Mullaney seemed equally capable in either position but he's a rare talent is that lad. Well, when he's not injured. Such a shame he was always crocked otherwise i think he would have done alright in SL when he got his chance.
Its looking like we missed a beat on this Pewhairangi lad, will be interesting to watch him turn out for London this weekend

Totally agree, I was just pointing out he has played there. We need a marshalling 7 to let Gaskell (for the rest of this year) have some wider ball to play his natural game, not many of them about here who could realistically be an option hopefully with Smith his scouting network and knowledge wont end up with us taking chances like we have done in the past.

| The problem is though that it is not just one half-back we need, it is two. Gaskell seems to always be crocked and is probably taking up quite a decent chunk of the salary cap to sit on the treatment table. I really do not see why too many people would be that bothered if he DID go. Whilst I concede that he is a fine player, when fit, he is very rarely fit and, to me, is a complete liability.
The guy is like a tampon. He is in for a week and out for a month.

Plus a good kicking game.

| I think Addy will benefit from a move. He's played out of position more often than not and it's held him back as a player up until now. He's not the finished article as a backrower - his defence isn't good enough IMO.
If he's gone at least it should mean we don't keep playing him at halfback.
As for Clark I'd much rather have kept him. He's a bit raw but will go a long way.

| I think we'll miss Addy a lot more than you think and I would argue that we'll miss him more than Gaskell. Might not make the headlines every week but he's always there to do the job whenever the others go missing.

Think the criticism of Gaskell always being injured is harsh. He played every game last year until he had his jaw smashed by a props elbow.
Then in against wakey he whacked himself around the post trying to prevent a try. There not injuries caused by being injury probe.
I think he's only missed 2 this year.
If he was missing a lot of games because of hamstrings, strains etc then I'd be worried.

| I thought Green was campaigning for "Remain"?
Anyway Addy was almost signed by KR 2 years ago, but stayed loyal to us. For his loyalty, he's spent 2 years playing out of position and being regularly bagged by so-called "fans". Plus promotion looks like a mirage. So who can blame him.
But also, at the time he signed his last 2 year deal in 2014, life will have looked a lot different as he was playing with a halfback combination of Gaskell and Gale. Maybe he's had enough of doing the right thing, and wants to be somewhere where he can resume developing his own game and preferred position. No sign of that around here.
Good luck to him, anyway. I presume he's here till the end of the season and he won't let anybody down.
As for Gaskell, I was going to shoot down ME's post but Bull Mania said it all already, so, what he said. Same sort of totally misguided and unfair criticism of Gaskell as Addy has regularly copped for. Whilst I doubt they take that much notice, it can't help.

He also missed a big chunk of the 2014 season with a medial cruciate injury, limped off at half time this week soon after an injury return, on top of the two injuries you refer to.
Doesn't play enough games IMO, regardless of what you and FA suggest.

Don't have stats to hand of how many times he's been substituted or when it was, but straight appearances stats:
2014 = 23 starts from 30 games
2015 = 20 starts + 1 sub appearance from 33 games
2016 (so far) = 12 starts from 14 games
