| I don't know the back story of his time at FC but this is a real coup. Brad is a very skillful back rower and I am so pleased Rovers have lured him over to East Hull. I will go as far as to say this is comparable with the other one that got away - Josh Hodgson!

I have a had dealings with both players and there is a world of different, maybe not ability wise, but attitude, he could do well but I wouldn't be surprised if was another Ian Bell.
I always thought he looked OK, he is massive and has a good skill set, but never thought he played to his weight and potential, a bit like Jordan Cox.
Turned down a SL contract with us, so the coaching staff must rate him, probalbly a good move as with our backrow and options, he has more chance of playing first grade at Rovers than Hull, be interesting to see how he gets on, starting on Monday.

Interesting. Care to elaborate on his attitude, Dave?
He's only 18 and has plenty of time to mature. Given that Jordan Cox has physical attributes but nowt between the ears, he will morph into his necessary maturity sometime after his retirement from the game.
Assuming Brad Clavering might have a tad bit more brain power than Cox, he might respond well to the irresistible combo of Sheens, Peacock, the club's 2017 objectives, opportunity and a full-time contract. This will come with higher standard behavioural, personal and performance expectations which the club seems to be imposing now.

I know Josh well and recall his frustration at 18 when his attitude was questioned! His attitude was also queried when he left Fc in 2010!
Your tongue-in-cheek Ian Bell comment made me laugh but the comparison with Coxy is absurd.

It's a family thing, anyone who knows any of them will agree. Brad doesn't have much in the brain department, although thought there has been many players without brains who have been very successful rugby league players.
He has the ability, just something tells me he won't make it, never ever thought that about Hodgson( although didn't expect him to do as well as he has)

That's getting a bit personal. To make insults about a whole family and an individual from that family on a forum is totally unacceptable.
I wonder about your experience and training are that qualifies you to make such observations. Non I would suspect because if you had the training there is no way you would make such statements on an open forum.

Agree 100%
I've never seen so much trouble and turmoil caused by one individual for one small amateur club, in fact the club almost folded because of it.
If brads a chip off the block he won't last long.

I am appalled by your generalisation. I'm sure you'll be popular in the Clavering household!

It isn't a generalisation, I've met and had dealings with them all, I don't imagine that I will be going for tea at their house on Bransholme anytime soon.

What training do you need to form an opinion about individuals?
What insult have I made?
As I've said I know more than just Brad from the family.
Anyway let's see if I am right.

Hull fans do tend to think that.
Generally with some justification, in fairness. The Rovers news report says he turned down a deal with Hull, but the story I saw on Hullkrfans was that Hull offered him an under-23s contract rather than a first team one. Given how little it supposedly costs to run an under-23 team, these are presumably not very lucrative.
He's got a two year deal to train with Rovers full-time. I doubt he's exactly rolling in cash even now, but it's safe to assume we offered a more attractive package.

yep your probably right I know dean and Harry t Wilson left for better offers than hull made sometimes kids are better off at a lesser level it can bring there game on better and they get more opportunities I'm glad rovers have taken a punt on him at least thats not a young talented kid out the game the more hull lads coming through both clubs the better if we hadn't have taken josh hodgson when he was young you maybe wouldn't have had his service's for the seasons you had and vice versa with Scott Taylor for us
