I've watched the grand prix all my life doesn't mean I can drive faster than Jensen button, the poster is making the point that rugby union is a totally different game tackle technique been one of the main differences along with play the balls, scrum positioning for a winger etc. etc. Biggs will need time to adjust but I still think he will make a very good rl player as long as he is given time.

How important is tackle technique in a winger? By time a winger usually tackles it means the main priority is to simply bring down the opposition down. If a forward in the middle, slowing the play of the ball etc more so. But it's in many areas still rugby with the same principles. His coach is an ex league man who'll I'd imagine would of applied many league defensive techniques in his coaching. Also biggs as said has watched league up close all his life. He'll know more than any the subtle differences he'll need to work on. If he didn't think he could id have thought he'd of stayed put and earned a good wage for an easier life! Can't imagine we'll be paying significantly more than what he'll be on now as a Saxon international.

but you're not racing cars already in another code are you?

It never fails to amaze me how many posters on here know more than our coaching staff.

I was just responding to a poster who implied that he was a big winger. He ain't. Have a look at some videos on that video site if you don't believe the stats. Potentially he could be very good , he reminds me in his style of Damien Blanch and there'd be not much wrong if he could play like him BUT he is not a big guy.

In respect of him coming up against big Onion backs and forwards , he will do but wingers are not required to run the ball out of their half like they have to in league , someone just boots the ball to the other end , and that's where size is perhaps more important.

But if you was a top international Indy car driver who watched the grand prix all your life would you be more confident of beating Jensen Button?

Ditto,,,But I still hope he turns out like Paul Sterling did, only time will tell if he his the right winger we are looking for?.

Because they get it right very time don't they? Have you seen the state of your recruitment for for the last 5 years?

Lets start the season positive and believe. We are Hull. We, for me, have a unproven coach at sl level. But a coach who will put the hours in, have respect from the players. On paper we have a decent team to get some good results. If Biggs isn't good enough he wont play.



Come on you hull.
