You can just SMELL the fear emanating from the Hull KR fans, now that Hull have signed Long.

Thats the drain in west hull you can smell?

Anyway I think Long is a decent signing and will do a good job for Hull.

we're not worried what Hull does, it;s the top 4 clubs that bother us now

Whether deliberate or not, awesome put-down mate.

Of course it was deliberate

There are many chickens being counted in East Hull, or miscounted perhaps. Must be hard to count with only 3 fingers and twelve toes.

Oh sorry I thought you were describing Paul Cooke.

Man for man we are not as good as Saints, but on our day we aren't far off. Yeaman, Raynor, Manu, Horne, Washbrook, Briscoe, Calderwood. They are all extremely dengerous players when given service, up with the best in the league imo, but they havn't had any since Paul Cooke left (Manu, Briscoe and Calderwood have never had any at all). Look at Yeaman the season when he was called up for GB. 23 tries in 20 games or something stupid like that. He and Cooke were devastating down that left side. Yeaman hasn't all of a sudden become a bad player. He just doesn't see any ball these days. Long can hopefully give us some width and a good kicking game and it will let the players mentioned above shine.

good post.

Agreed, on paper anyway. Unfrotunately we seem to lack passion, and despite Saints been a very skillful side IMO their biggest asset is their workrate.

As skillful as Saints are they 'have their day' more often then not thanks to their commitment and workrate. On paper our squad is pretty strong, on the pitch they let themselves down badly.
