Not an earth-stopping signing but by no means a bad one. Caro and Cockayne ARE bad signings. Colbon offers cover. He won't be first choice, in the same way as Shaul wasn't first choice, or Whiting.

Give the guy a chance to prove himself. So far, every single one of the nine signings has been slagged off.

This club is dogged by fans who think we have the divine right to sign only the top 20 players in the world. Get real.

Even then I get that some people on here wouldn't be happy.

Before his jaw injury, Liam Colbon was one of the best wingers in the league bringing the ball out of his own end. He didn't seem to re-gain his confidence with us after that incident and he was a shadow of his former self.
If he was back to his best then I would have him back in the Rovers side. No pace but very good at what he does.

Can he kick goals.

When did you sign them?

Cockayne isn't my cup of tea, but he's 10 times the player Colbon ever has been. I've seen enough of both to make that assessment. I suspect you haven't, but will no doubt correct me.

I saw enough of Caro and Cockayne to make a very informed assessment. Judging by the comments of your own supporters, they have too.

I was comparing the signing of a so-called bad winger to 2 others. To say Cockayne is "10 times the player" really is stretching things a lot, considering you found it necessary to sack him publicly.

If you was going to sign one of our ex wingers I would have recommended Byron Ford, that guy was a flyer.

If he pulls on a fc shirt he will get my full support, the reason a lot are questioning his signing is in the last few years hes done nothing, and for london to think he isnt good enough for them says it all, saying all that i hope if needed he proves me wrong ,i will gladly eat humble pie,

Fully confident when biggs comes he'll go well. So colbon will be 4/5th choice winger with crookes when he's fit.! In the mean time offers experienced cover in a specialist position!

I would have rather try get Will Sharp back and give him another chance in Super League

I would say radders is recruiting in areas we need and getting rid of players who where signed on far too much money and taking far to much of the cap up ie Macdonell , I exspect Arundale and crooks to follow when we get the chance

bomber signed people on far to much money in positions where we should be paying less remember what Pearson said in his interview on Fc live we no longer going to pay big money on the edges and we will pay out in the areas where it is important in the middle. Briscoe went to Leeds for a less than we originally offered him when he came back to the club he was offered less and choose to go to Leeds simple good move by Hull good cover who will be on next to nowt which will free up cap space for other more important areas like next year a cracking scrum half once a few more overpaid earners have been shipped out and just to add Biggs is not in the cap due to him being a union convert I think, so again good business with the cap in mind

And his sacking had exactly what to do with his playing ability?

If he was top quality you wouldn't have binned him

Colbon always gave his best,used to make good ground coming in to the play the ball,but was never the same after suffering a broken jaw.Will give his best which is all you can ask.

Is it April 1st ,or some kind of sick joke

now why would that be a sick joke?

We heard you the first time!!

The coach/coaching staff will have seen enough of him in training this week to make a judgment on the kid so let's give Radders the benefit of the doubt and just get behind the team

You have a strange idea of what constitutes a sick joke (x4).

I quite agree with you there, a much better player. Unless there are some injuries we don't know about another winger hardly seems a need in any case. And if we really do need one then one then this one is a mystery.

I daren't sleep now in case I wake up and find we've signed Sam Latus next.

Some people need to calm down.

He will be costing us pence and won't get a game unless one of Shaul, Talanoa or Lineham gets injured,

If we do need to call on him he has plenty of SL experience.

Arundel can play on wing. It will not take out his ability to play centre, its not asking him to play at 1,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 or 13. The centre spot and wing spot are related. Coburn may cost us pence but we are already paying Arundel.
If we haven't a young wing who can come in for a few games then our youth scheme must be in dire need of a sort out!
Horne, Whiting, Arundel, youth?
