Twenty-three tries in a struggling side last year would suggest otherwise but don't let facts get in the way of a good opportunity to talk b.ll.cks.

I thought the contest between the packs was a good one. On the day, I'd say Hull's pack came out marginally on top, but honours were pretty even, although Hull's pack was playing with more and more confidence as the game wore on.

We also had Lynch returning from injury so he was nowhere near full match fitness, Langley returning from injury. Crocker won't get in unless he signs for Catalans. In answer to Lauaki, we have Solomona to return at some point (how we could have done with one of his match-breaking specials on Sunday) and so yes, I reckon as a unit we do have the best pack, but Hull are putting together a very strong and skilful pack too and more to the point they work well together.

Thanks for your reply!!

And FWIW, i think Crocker will be here soon!

I think the difference is that Bird is currently involved with the trial process whereas Crocker was fined approx £90 for affray, and applied online without all the testimonies from MP's, Melbourne, and Hull FC's plans for him in the local community

Fingers Crossed Though!

As a role model? The mind boggles.

Reformed character according to Melbourne, plus it was 3/4 years ago who's to say he hasnt changed. Thats the reason he moved to Melbourne, to get away from the nightlife in Sydney

He wont have that problem in Hull!

No, not at all. I see all the games and "wondering" don't enter into it.


See, IMHO, there really is no point in attempting to "debate" with someone whose points of view are so obviously silly.

Bit harsh when he only got a £90 fine. You get more for letting your dog 5hit in public!!

Still guilty, unlike Bird.

Irrelevant, apparently. It seems that all that matters is the opinion of some daft bint in the consulate in Canberra.

Would this be Sharon Ewart?
