Colin Best

[Alan Shore]

Off-contract at Hull this year. He's been the best finisher in the ESL, consistently topping the league tryscoring charts and is highly rated by Raper. At least he tackles better than anyone we've got now and has genuine speed.

 

[wittyfan]

Yep, Best was always a solid sort of player.

 

[Tadpole]

I totally agree sully. but when he was off he was off

 

[King of the Hill]

I thought Best lost a lot of his ability after his comeback from knee surgery

 

[Tadpole]

you could almost say that he wasnt his best :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: \\/ ](*,)

 

[Craigshark]

I would have him back.. If it is all true with all the other signings and we picked up Best and kept Peachey our backline would be brilliant -
1. Peachey
2. Merritt
3. Vagana
4. Best
5. Rieck
6. Rogers
7. Kimmorley

 

[shadowboxer]

he was good but had his scary moments, probally past his best at this stage.

 

[lolesi]

Loved having him due to the fact everytime he stuffed up i could call him Colin Crap and thought i was the funniest man in the world. \\/

 

[shadowboxer]

He did kick a mean soccer ball for the local engadine side

 

[Macca]

Has alot of pace and could jump for the high ball. Another local. Yeah, why not?

 

[Alan Shore]

1. Peachey
2. Best
3. Vagana
4. Rogers
5. Rieck/Merritt
6. Aitken
7. Kimmorley

Oooh yeah!

What you say SS may have been true but in the ESL he has got his confidence back and has been Hull's best back for the last two seasons.

Oh we will fix his confidence! The Sharks are great at that. Langy always liked him.

I think he would be a good buy. He has semi final experience, speed, can break the line, and had a nice offload.

He always struggled defensively at centre in my opinion, but he is a better option than McGoldrick..

 

[Special K]

Depends. He'd want to much more then he would be worth to the team IMO

I'd take him back but it depends how much he wants..

 

[incredible_holc]

ha this was the same guy who we couldnt wait to get rid of supposably. When he did leave all i remember you guys doing is saying 'good riddens'. Probably like youngquest in a few seasons :roll:

 

[wittyfan]

Unlike Best, Youngquest never had one good game for us.

 

[beekershark]

I doubt it would happen, but can't see anything wrong with it if he did come back.

good size and speed, can finish as tama says, local junior. compared to seers he is a fantastic potential purchase so yea, like mcsharkie says, why not ?

 

[sharknows]

We do seem to have short memories. Best was at times diabolical with missed tackles and general stuff ups and yet at other times showed flashes of brilliance. He has probably matured and toughened up in the UK and if he comes at a reasonable cost I think he might just be worth a gamble.

Youngquest on the other hand was never ready for 1st grade and in my humble opinion was thrown to the wolves. He needed more time to develop.

I know a lot of people say if they aren't ready for 1st grade at 18 they never will be. George Peponis didn't play 1st grade until he was 22 and look where he got to. Some kids are ready very young and others need more time to mature.

 

[Alan Shore]

If Best was diabolical, then there's no way to describe the likes of what we have now. :roll:
