Back for a second spell. No complaints with that. One of Edinburgh’s better signings.
His attitude towards the end of his last stay was poor. That may have been down to the management of the time though. One thing is for certain that SE won’t put up with anything less than 100%Back for a second spell. No complaints with that. One of Edinburgh’s better signings.
I agreeNo better than what we already have
Quite happy with this signing, after all we need a long throw in specialist if Byrne is on his way out!

Why sign a third right back???
I guess Fuller and Hobson are definitely going. But frankly if that is the choice I would have Fuller any day.A negative step in my opinion. If he is being brought in as a reserve then shouldn't the budget in other areas be sorted first ?????
If we had no right back on the books and Fuller wasn't available we have had worse yes.Very average defensively might offer more going forward but at a cost .

Sorry I can't agree .Unless their is a problem that we don't know about with Fuller's fitness. Jackson is not even close.Hess was much older when he gave up and Fuller is a fitness fanatic if ever I saw one.The only way I can see Jackson being a better bet is if we are going to play three at the back and Jackson as a wing back then maybe .But that is a system Evan's showed no signs of trying with Ogilvie, Ehmer and Tucker so why try now?Hobson is not up to standard and I'm sure Evans will try to encourage him to move on.
Fuller has been amazing for us, but he can't go on forever. It is less of a risk to replace him completely than to hope he'll last another season and not be a liability in November when his legs ago and we can't afford to bring someone in.
I love Fuller as a player but I would like to remember him as someone who defied expectations to be one of the first names on the sheet than someone whose legacy would be ruined by poor performances.

Jackson is cheaper perhaps.Not a good start if that is the road we are force to travel down.
That makes no sense so if we had played our remaining games Fuller would have been dropped why???Mr Evans did say at the end of the curtailed season that if the season had been a non covid season Barry wouldnt have played as many games!
Ryan is a better player than Barry!
