What's he like defensively?

The last Bulls fullback we signed is a bit of a defensive turnstile, but maybe we haven't seen the best of him yet and judging by your feedback on Kieran Moss, it looks like we never will.

If a player makes a break he'll line them up and chop them down by their ankles as he can out run pretty much anyone.

His only weakness is he is quite slight. So if he's stuck on his goaline, he did sturggle to stop a charging player. But thats his only weakness.

Everything else though is class. Speed. His support play is just phenominal. He catches most kicks on the full and thats when it gets exciting. He'll score a few full lengthers. If he puts a man through a gap 99.9% of players stop and think thats done. Moss will pop up at the end supporting to score.

There's a few videos i think on a well known video channel of his spectacular tries in the few short months he was with us.

Fullbacks these days couldn't stop a paperbag on the try line mate so that's not really an issue

His positional play is one of his strengths. I lost count of the number of times he would appear in exactly the right place to defuse the opposition's kicks and either make a full break or a half break to immediately put us back on the front foot. He's a joy to watch both in attack and defense.

Top 10 player in SL, really, think some might be going over the top.

He hasn't even played in the middle 8's yet, never mind SL.

He hasn't played SL, and there's be thinking he played against the likes of Saints, Wigan in SL the last two years, I must have been mistaken.

Anyway, have I claimed him to be in the top 10 players in SL and isn't this a thread about Rovers players, so why are we taking about Hull players?

Re: new prop signing : Sat Jan 14, 2017 8:42 pm  

I will be disgusted with Hull KR if he's wasted on the wing or at centre. Would be wasting away there. He needs to be your fullback. To be honest I'd take Shaw back now haha. He can kick and score tries. Defense is poor but then again I'd look at taking him still.

It was a Bradford fan making the bold claim about Moss, I will judge when I actually know what he looks like!

If Mr Sheens prefers Quinlan over Moss at full back then I think he is a better judge than you or I.

I think Cockayne's days at full back are finally over ( thank fook!)

I know it was, just thinking about some of the FB's in SL, he would do well to be in the top 5 FB's in SL.
