Our last tackle options were fairly garbage most of the season in the oppo 20. It's been a while and I've tried to forget most of it, but feel a pretty high majority of the tries we scored were from longer range and breaks

Well, nearly ffs.
Back to the bench for Foran just before kick-off.
The quickest interchange in history.

Played just over 20 minutes, an assist to his name and had his hands in a couple try’s. High energy in both attack and defence. Not a bad cameo

Agree. He will be a force in SL.

George came from Aus with scrum half Duncan Jackson to join my favourite winger to play for Hull - Bruce Ryan, making a trio of Aussies in 1948. Shed a few tears when Ryan left Hull for Leeds a couple of years later.

Also playing in that Aus ashes team with George were Arthur Clues and Lionel Cooper who also came to England and became club legends playing for Leeds and Huddersfield.

We had to wait a while to see him involved but an impressive appearance from Brown.

Thought he must have pulled out with an injury in warm-up when it took so long for him to come on.
Looked decent when we finally saw him introduced.

Was thinking isnt this the 1st time we've signed a current 'big 3' nation international since Berrigan?

Fitz, Ogre, Sika Manu?
Mind you, their International days were probably over by the time they wore the Irregular Hoops although Sika was still playing internationally although he'd switched to Tonga after being a World Cup winner with NZ.
So yes, you're probably right.

Seeing Nu Brown yesterday gave me some cause for optimism for next year. Yes we have some clear weaknesses across the team. Centre and second row are obviously a worry. But very few teams have top quality right across the team. We are big and mobile in the forwards with a bit of pace in the back line. A livewire like Brown might be just the difference maker we need if we can lay him a platform.
