Eden was not a failure at Giants , he got a better offer from HKR and I don't believe you can class him a failure after 8 games at a new club because he had a howler in atrocious conditions at Caravan Park , Tomkins & Slater have had ' brainfarts' I dare say clubs with no ambition will be after them too.

If you are such a small minded twit that needs to correct spelling you may be more convincing if you capitalise correctly. HTH

You keep correcting my spelling if it 'does it for you'
On to the rugby.....
He did 'fail' at the Giants and Anderson made it clear that Eden was behind Grix, Murphy and Cudjoe as a full back.
He had years on his contract at the Giants. HKR approached the Giants in the correct manner re Eden. Giants could have refused any deal and no offer could be made. They sold him on because he is not good enough. the suggestion that GE got a better offer is clueless.
I saw GE in five reserve grade games at Cas and 1 tv game for Cas. I have seen every game he played for the Giants and the HKR televised games this year. I also know he hasn't played 8 games for HKR. i am not judging him on one game at CP
He continues to miss a large proportion of tackles ( the stats do not record the tackles not attempted because he is so far out of position) makes far too many errors and has not improved one jot in his organisation of the defensive line in over a year.
Putting Eden in the same class as Slater and Tomkins is hilarious. nathan brown made himself look stupid making the suggestion. These guys brainfart far less, make far fewer errors, miss fewer tackles, attack better and execute passes etc far better.
I have seen eden chicken out of catching a high ball many times and for just as many times stick out a flailing arm rather than put his body on the line in the tackle. He did it against Salford. He is a softc8ck.
