He has never seemed too bad at it.


but hes only play 11 games or so for the club so he should iron it out in a couple of months.

Colbon was my MOTM today - he should take a bow...

Luke has made a decent point.
Colborn was found out under the high kick at Warrington and also can be vunarable at times to the kick behind the defensive line.

However his postives far out weigh the negatives.
His workrate is 1st class
Defence spot on.
Kick returns probably up there with the best in SL.
If he gets sight of the try line he is big and powerful and can finish well.

With the emergence of Ainscough i can see why Wigan felt they could let him go but a great signing for Rovers so far.

Absolutely great signing IMO. Agreed that his kick returns are absolutely superb. He can also finish, which is an aspect of his game that is overlooked imo.

Agree with that.

The only area i feels he need to improve on is finding his front a little more when scooting out of dummy half, but other than that i thinks he has been excellent.






Motto of the week -

It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.

Most wingers in the league struggle under a cross field kick, 90% of the time the attacker is on the run and winger is taking the ball from a standing position. This is why in these situations you need to double up on the attacker and give the winger a bit of support to make it as hard as possible for the attacker to get to the ball cleanly.
Colburn has been a great signing up to now, along with foxy they both make more metres out of our own half then any of our pack, he has also showed some deft finishing and seems a very good fit into our squad.

Ive always been of the opinion that it is in the defenders best interests to let the attacker jump and catch the ball and concentrate on getting in a good position to smother the ball preventing offloads/touchdowns. Obviously if the kick goes into the in goal then its got to be contested.
