| Quote: A unknown superstar "Your pack is certainly up there with the best in the league I just think your back row lets it down with no real punch imo. Like I said keep Weyman fit and he'll be really good for you.
As for Whiting, most Hull fans would have him as first name on the team sheet each week. Has any other player in super league ever played in every position? I doubt it. He's not going to race 80 metres (although we did see it once away to Wakey) each week. But he does everything right with 100% commitment. Do under rated by opposition fans.
Not much between both clubs but I feel we're a little better than you and place one position above you in the league.'"
I don't doubt any Hull fan would say their arch rivals will come above them in the league. I know Rovers fans who thought after the friendly performance at the weekend Hull would struggle this season! Personally I agree, the two Hull clubs are the best on paper to finish 7th and 8th but in what order I do not know or hazard a guess at.
What I do disagree with but appreciate you are entitled to your own opinion is our back row. Costigan, Larroyer and Langley might not be as flashy as Newton or Paterson but I do not think they need to be as we will be playing a different game plan.

| Quote: Magic Superbeetle "If the game was based solely on the quality of the 3/4 line, Leeds would walk it. Unfortunately/ fortunately, there are 9 other players on the pitch who will also have a say in the matter.'"
I don't disagree with you.
However Catalans have their bases covered elsewhere, especially in the forwards, with only the performance of the halves a big question mark (Scott Dureau after his illness, and Leon Pryce in general).
That is why I conditioned my optimistic prediction for Catalans on Scott Dureau recapturing his 2012 form.

| Quote: easthullwesty "Richards, Tomkins and Hanson are three big players for you guys.'"
Fair point but before last season we lost Carmont, Finch, Leuluai, Hock, Lima and Fielden. We're more than well-prepared in replacing players.

46042.jpg [quote="Bonzo":23qz4bj5]Corrected.
Incidentally, an exclamation mark ends a sentence and does not require a full stop. The first letter of the next word begins a new sentence and should therefore be capitalised. [i:23qz4bj5]Who needs flankers[/i:23qz4bj5]' grammar was actually correct.
HTH.

| Quote: easthullwesty "Hull will finish anywhere between 6-8 I think. Too light in the forwards to get any higher than that. Feka and Paea on the pitch at the same time is great, but take them off and we struggle. Backline looks strong from 1-5, even with the loss of Briscoe. Talanoa could be a real find.
Rankin, the Aussie schoolboy 6 that we've signed looks promising too, but who do we play with him?
Hooking wise I'm more than happy with Houghton and Heremaia.
Looking at other teams its difficult to predict really. Wigan have lost Tomkins, Warrington have lost a front row and Briers, Huddersfield haven't really lost anybody, saints have recruited the best of any team on paper and I always write Leeds off only for them to prove me wrong.
Ill go
