First post for me on here. I'm an Aussie who started following Hull's fortunes when Berro signed. I've also supported Wakefield as I'm a big fan of Sam Obst. Think Hull will bring the best out in Sam......he's always been a victim of "taking one for the team" and playing wherever a coach wants him to fill in. That's why Kear labelled him "a coaches dream." Sam delivers a lot off the field that people will never see......but teammates do. He's a tough bugger too and a fierce and loyal competitor. One thing for sure you will get 100% every week and if the coach lets him settle in a position I think you will see what a quality player he is.

He certanly offers us something we've not had for a long time.

Thought our halves as a partnership looked as good as we have had in a while, Horne looked like he was getting back to his best and Obst was really impressive and I agree wih Hollywood he does not mind taking on the line and a the hits that go with it.
That said I would not rule out Long just yet but it's great to have another option and Obst should prove to be an astute signing.

Me neither.
I thought Obst did well last night but ideally I would still like to see him rotating with Houghton in the hooking role and have an halves comination of Long/Horne.

That's always been his main strength running from dummy half against tired defences but either way he brings options which is great.
Thought Horne stuck a huge middl;e finger up at all the doubters and knockers!!! Looked back to his best IMO last night and led the team in cracking fashion....
isnt it nice to see some positivity on the forum again !!!
