Looking at James Greenwoods Wikipedia page it reads like Sandra wrote it

And you've not got another player like him either. He is a solid pro and probably deserves the medals he's got. However if Hull had recruited better over the past 10 years, Yeaman wouldn't of got half the games and would probably have been moved on.

This is a conversation i've had with a few FC fans, many of whom agree with me. When I've asked them about him, they say good defense but poor or average at everything else.

Where do you think Scott Taylor came from or do you think he magically appeared? As for West Yorkshire players maybe you should take a look at how many academy players we blooded last year or who are in the squad for 2017. Granted we were relegated but that's nothing to do with the Hull lads in the side of which we had numerous.

Fantastic news. Greenwood has signed!!!

Re: Players next year : Thu Oct 20, 2016 4:28 pm  

Great News...

Obviously it's good to be retaining one of our better players, but it feels even better seeing the loyalty of players like him, Lunt and Minns.

Re: Players next year : Thu Oct 20, 2016 4:53 pm  

Glad I got my prediction wrong with regards Greenwood. The club have done well to hang on to him.

Need an experienced winger or two and another experienced half back. The kids will do well, but each area needs an experienced player to mentor and encourage them along with Sheens coaching.

Re: Players next year : Thu Oct 20, 2016 5:20 pm  

Re-signing James Greenwood is good news for us in achieving our stated objective next year of a first time bounce back into SL. A consistent and committed performer, good in support play and with an eye for the try line. He'll continue his huge improvement under Sheens.

Re: Players next year : Thu Oct 20, 2016 5:51 pm  

What else do you think you need

2 wingers
Halfback
3 props?

Yes and I'd add another halfback to go with yours, a centre and a back rower, that list might shrink as, when and if mulhern, Moran, Shaw, Horne or Donaldson resign

So it's called poor recruitment bringing youth through & playing them for 16 seasons. His achievement will be hard for any modern day players to replicate.
