Koe Love

[John M]

Ive posted this msg on the other board as well.
How good is this man? He has been an outstanding centre for years but is very underated IMO.He has the exact style and build as Renouf.Why Maurice didnt go all out to sign him before Hull ill never know.He would of been the ideal replacement for Steve.Some people say Ainscough was already in the bag but surely Koe Love would of been a much better choice.
Im not sure he quite has the skill or class of Renouf but he sure is the next best thing.

I think that Toa Koe-Love is a good player. Much better than Ainscough.

[Bilko]

My Grandmas better than Ainscough!

Seriously though, I agree, Kohe-Love would have been a much better buy than Ainscough.

[AJ]

it has to be said why did we spend money on ainscough when kohe love was available once again i suppose it was down to maurice deciding ainscough was good enough for wigan, ahhh well only 18months at the most left of the tall one

[Glynola]

I'm not convinced myself.

He's got an eye for the try line, but his defence has never been good, I wouldn't have him over Hodgson to be honest.

[John M]

No Koe-Love is not the best defender but niether was Steve Renouf a few years ago.He was known to be a poor tackler and was a weak link in the Brisbane team.He worked on it so hard he became known for his head on crunching tackles that we saw at Wigan for the last two years.I think if Koe-Love could do the same he would end up one of the best centres in the world just as Renouf was.
I have to agree though Hodgeson is going to be big!

i agree hodgy is going to be big!i mean he has improved soo much and he is coming on very well.i think i should start a hodson fan club!

[John M]

Hodgy fan club!!
He certainly has the ability to be the next Paul Newlove doesnt he? He has put loads of weight since last year and i think another year will see him as a GB centre.

[magsrads]

It already exists!! Barbara (from the other messageboard) and meself are already members!!

From the first time I saw David play in cherry and white I had a feeling he was going to be something special and every game he plays he gets better and better - its not just skill either he reads the game,thinks and reacts !!
( Just like my hero Mr Radlinski ;0) ) - it must be the ginger hair!!!

[lovin this team]

Where did he go man it took a long time for him to grow on me and now he has gone... If we do need to give these aussies a chance and a while to settle in why are we not keepin em for longer as soon as they are settled in and playing great poooof !!! dey is gone
