Still outplayed both Warrington’s halfbacks though

He did, imagine what a player he would be if he was consistently 15-20kg lighter.

Talking of weight Miller reminds me of Lee Smith with a bit of chubs but if he can produce the goods a la Smith happy days.

JWH signs for Hull KR. Terrible signing with the new rules coming in, how many bans will he get?

Good signing imo. Still plenty to offer, good go forward and intimidating in D. Can’t not sign quality players for fear of bans…..
Who knows what state the game will be in next year…..

Yeh agree, not a good signing.
Way past his best and will be a liability in this day and age.
5 or 6 years ago maybe.

I also thought Tariq Sims would be a superb signing for Cats.
And he probably will be.
But again, in the current climate it's a risk and he could be a liability and miss plenty of games.

Bans for players will have a big impact on a few clubs this year.

Agree, hopefully the referees will maintain a level of consistency. Big test will be five or ten minutes into a grand final or cup final and someone receives a high shot. Big pressure on the officials.

Both him and Burgess are quality both highly respected pack leaders who may not do the minutes they used to but what they bring to the team is alot more than a playing role, kudos KR and Hudds.

That's one way to look at it. Another is to reflect that old father time catches up with everyone and players of that age can go over the hill and down the other side very rapidly. Guess we'll find out next year.
