authority on the game.
Colbon boasts strong defence, confidence under the high ball and potent

as he secured his first team spot under Noble in 2007.
Liam commented: “It’s great to be facing a new challenge next season
and I have been impressed with what Justin has had to say about Hull
Kingston Rovers. It’s exciting for me as a player to join such a
progressive club and help them to succeed in their bid for silverware.”
Head Coach Justin Morgan said: “2008 has proved to be a big year for
Liam; he has established a regular starting position in the first team
and has gained invaluable experience. He is a player with tremendous
maturity and is always a consistent performer for Wigan, demonstrating
complete commitment for the cause.”
