boost wrote:Briers can play, not my favourite player but he's been a loyal servant to Welsh Rugby. Carvell is in Australia training with England, as a Hull fan you'll already know that loyalty isn't his strongest trait. Halley's not good enough, we played the Bulls 3 times this year and apart from lifting a very rookie Gareth Thomas into touch helping the Bulls to win a very close game, he's did nothing special. Was Carvell playing when Hull got stuffed 66 6 by Wigan or was he out injured again? The Welsh born players will give it everything, right up to the final whistle even if they are getting a hiding from Australia etc. Some of our Oz boy will be qualified on residency by next year, there will be an option to slot in a few if Iestyn feels its necessary.
