Ha ha...me too.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Warrington’s new coach doesn’t see the season out.

Looking at most of the squads there are far too many overseas players in there, it needs to get down to three or four at most if we are to develop our young players.
Also a lot of those overseas players are in pivotal positions.

Ellis ineffective? unbelievable statement.

The problem is the pool of players is so small SL has to rely on overseas players to boost the standard.

On what basis? He's making all the right noises since his arrival and definitely has a point to prove

Why do you bother? You know he is only trying to wind you up.

Correct, typical WUM.

I don't generally i just thought that one was funny. Is that ok with you?

Batchelor . You could even name Crowther he must be getting close this year, the club has invested some real time and money into the lad, unlike others they've let go after the step up.

I might not be a Hull supporter but saw plenty of him & completely agree. Obviously, he wasn't in his absolute prime but even slightly less than that he was still an awesome player and as an opposition, you were happy to see his name, not on the team sheet. The blokes work ethic, tackling and strong runs were all still there until the end. The only thing you can say is his injuries caught up with him, just like any great player.

I must admit I’d forgotten about Paea signing and that forward pack should be very good again. I’m not criticising the Hull line up, I think it’s very strong but it’s probably not quite as strong as last year imo. It will still be good enough to challenge for the lot but with a leader like Ellis in and a player in Fonua who caused all sorts of problems, I think I’d have had you as favourites for everything.

As it stands I can’t sit here and say one is a favourite out of Hull, Cas, Leeds, Saints, Wigan or Warrington. I wouldn’t rule out Wakey or even Huddersfield from making a decent run of things.
