What do you think about Berrigan playing stand off for next season ?



He has impressed me every time he has played in the halfs and offers far more to the team when he is away from the play of the ball - maybe R. Horne to centre for next season

Berros class because he goes forward and ask's questions

even with one working knee he is our best player by a mile



people have said he's been disappointing, but I think that's only because he has been in such a rubbish team, the amount of times in a game he looks round for options to pass to and has no takers is embarrassing.

best kicker in general play we have as well. bet he can't wait for longy to arrive the guy is class and like its already been said struggles for options when he constantly breaks the line and has no runners bet leeds would swap him for buderus.

and know i don't want a swap thanks.

May work but would rather see him left at 9. If the rumours about Lee and Houghton are true we may go from having 4 hookers to 1 so dont think we have any option.

Thought he played well last night.



with a few more cleve rplayers around him next year we will see the real berrigan. He must be frustrated to hell to be playing around the brainless bunch we have at present.



Light years in front of anyone we have when it comes to having a footballing brain (Whiting apart).

I wonder if we will see him at Centre next season? I'd prefer him to be more involved but its certainly an option.

The kick for raynor's try was fantastic, particularly as he'd had to catch a very poor pass (from thorman?)

Naturally.

Said before that i'd prefer that. Lee and Houghton sharing 9 and R Horne and Long in the halves. Berro and Yeamo as the 2 centres.

Would like to see Berro at six with Long and Horne at fb next season, dont think we would see his best at centre.

He's played the arguably the best rugby of his life as a centre. I'd be happy with him either 3 or 9, Tansey has to play FB though.

Berrigan's going to be our pivotal fullback next season.



You heard it here 1st.





Berro has an ability to play other positions, but for me his skills are best around the ruck area.

If/when we have better options at scrum half and loose forward we'll see the [ireal[/i Berrigan I'm sure of it.

Top sides have play makers at BOTH sides of the pitch and quality hookers making decisions based on where the gaps/plays are.

This for me is where we fall down right now: Thorman easy to defend against. Horne he's a running off half and then we have Radford at loose man (enough said) No momentum and a tortoise like play the ball exacerbate the situation

what we need to do in the off season is Clone Berro to play him at 13, 9, 7, 6, 4, and 3. Then problem's sorted!

More chance of cookie coming back

That guy's like a fart in a wet suit, he just won't go away.

...like "Where's my backing up players?"

I'm pretty certain he will be back at 9 next year.

It was noticable that when Berrigan started to defend in the centres during the second half the threat of Senior vanished. Still don't think he would see enough of the ball at centre though but I would be happy to see him playing at 6,7 or 9.

I feel just about as sorry as I ever have for a player with Berrigan. With our standing as a club at the time he signed he must have thought he was making a move to a club with a real chance of challenging and helping him shine. Instead he's closing out an excellent career surrounded by puddings who can't keep up with him mentally, it must be so frustrating and disappointing.

Playing Berrigan at hooker is a total waste, all he does is pass the ball or scount from Dummy half we need he moerw involved in the game esp out wide where there is more space for him to run at players.



Next season he should be playing at 6 or 13 for Hull with Lee and Houghton sharing the hooking role.

How long have i been saying our structure in defence is totally wrong, it was a shame it took 3 tries down our right before Berro started defending in the centre spot.

You're preaching to the converted here, let him defend wide out, strengthens us and makes less work for him, no brainer!

that ll be because hes a stand off only palyed about 25 games at hooker before he came to hull!
