Hull have a good squad this year. And with few injuries at the moment we can put out our best side.
What I would like to see however is us resting players more often. I think we force players back from injury too soon, and even play them too often with niggles. It can't be a coincidence that we've had so many injuries over the last few years.
We've got some good young and hungry players with a lot of potential in the centres and halves and areas of the pack. We don't need to be playing our older players every week IMO.

Its going to take a good run injury wise for Hull to do well. But having said that, if Leeds mess up its anyones.

Making predictions is like gambling. If you predict crazy things then you seem a great pundit if he gets them right. High risk = high reward.
If Hull make the playoffs they will have overachieved in my eyes. Nothing against Hull there are just better teams out there.

I'd be interested in hearing your rationale to this comment. Are you saying for a club to finish 8th, below half way down, would be an overachievement?
On the basis absolute comparison cannot really be made until all clubs have played each other, only a theoretical assessment could be made.
On the basis Hull FC's recruitment has widely been acknowledged as very astute (2 Kangaroo test forwards with vast experiance and proven ability, and experiances scrum half who has been there and done it all and one of the best prospects in the british game) along with two signings at the end of last year in Tansey and Luaki, I'd say, Theoretically Hull FC have advanced their chances more than most other clubs. |

| In theory Hull will be better. HOWEVER, same cr4p coach and all three signings have seen better days. Hull's squad looks thin and a couple of injuries will no doubt see the same outcomes. To go from near bottom to winning a GF in one season would be a miracle in the SL.
FC to win SL
O'Meley to win mos
what's the trifecta, win a derby game?  |

With a decent coach we could win SL.
With Colonel Agar at the helm I personally think we will struggle to make the play offs if i'm honest.
