For what you'd have to pay for Fox i don't think you'd get alot back. He has some pace and strength but can be caught out in defence and often over runs the ball. In my opinion they're are alot better winger out there for alot less!

We haven't missed him at Wakey. Personally i don't see him improving you as a side.

I would agree with that. I do not think he is better than Meli or Gardner. Fox looks more flashy than classy.

Halley better than Fox

Fox is in the top 3 for pace in SL, a natural finisher and makes great yards from deep. We'd be crazy to let him go, at the moment he is irreplacable imo.

From what I have seen of HKR Dobson, Vella, Newton and Webster are your keep players. Fox adds a bit but saying he is irreplacable is OTT.

We couldn't replace him like for like with another British winger of his quality so I'd say he's irreplacable to us.

Peter isn't just a good finisher, his work in returning the ball and scooting from our own 10 - 20 can't be undervalued. Now we have Liam Colbon on the other wing we're making impressive metres before any of our forwards get involved in a set.

That's exactly what I meant.

I think Colbon is playing very well at HKR, big lad with good pace.
One to keep
