| That's a fair post vasty.
I wouldn't claim for one second that all our players are brilliant. There's nobody I am desperate to see the back of, but we have our share of average squad filler players like everyone does in a salary capped sport. I do however think we have the best first choice 17 in the league, but we are all biased. Hopefully we will add to our one trophy very soon.
I think Talanoa would be playing NRL still had he not had his illness. I fully expect Fonua to return home at the end of his deal. If he carries on the way he's started his Hull career there will be no shortage of suitors.
The last winger I saw come through who I thought would be a superstar right from his debut was Tom Briscoe. For me Johnstone isn't nearly as good as Briscoe was at that age, and whilst he has so far had a good career by any standards, he hasn't yet hit the heights I expected him to.
Please don't think I'm knocking Johnstone btw, he's one of the most exciting young prospects we have in this country, but that's all he is for now. He's got parts of his game to develop, and he needs to do big things more often on the big stage to really be classed as one of the leagues best.

| I think that Jodie Broughton, the Catalans flying winger, is better than any of the wingers in the Super League. He is NRL standard. None of the 2017 new acquisitions can compare with him.

Higson will eat him alive
Higson isn't quick enough to catch JB! Really rated him at Salford and wished we'd have been able to keep him as he scored some phenomenal tries despite a distinct lack of service from his centre partner.
But seeing as you're a Leyther and they generally have massive delusions of grandeur, then yes, Higson is the next Martin Offiah...

You're right on the topic of pace, Higson isn't the fastest winger in SL, he wasn't even the fastest in the Championship but, if he meets Higson head on then AJ (as he is known) will break him. The lad has some big hits to dish out.
Looking forward to seeing what the Tom Watson or Tom Daley (whatever he is called) from Trinity is all about, now that we will meet at least twice.
For the guy who said "Hull FC have the best starting 17", utter rubbish.
Wigan <cough, splutter> have the best 17 in SL !
Now, someone call me a doctor, my nose is bleeding & my heart has turned black & refuses to beat !!!

Tom Johnstone - and you may be looking forward to seeing him first time, you won't be looking forward to the second time

No one needs to miss out. Tigers have chase, Gale and Roberts - it works fine for us. You just put one on the bench and spell the L/F role.

Given their track records, it's a stretch to imagine they would all be fit at the same time too often.
Lui looks big enough to play a bit of 13? Not sure on his defence though.

| I watched a documentary recently about an American high school that takes on players that no one wants and moulds them into a team, a team that went unbeaten for nearly 2 years. They also put them back on the straight and narrow so much that the Big D1 college like Auburn and Alabama would sign them, giving them a path way to the NFL. A bit like Salford in that Salford also sign players that no one else wants. I guess that's where the similarity ends
Regards
King James

We will have to see what immigration say about that as they would not let him have a work permit when he signed for the Giants five years ago.

But Roberts has the ability to play at full back or hooker. Chase is also on a contract that reflects the fact he was, and still is, a risk. We also don't know it will work fine as Roberts, Chase and Gale are yet to all play in the same game!
The three at Salford are out and out halves and I expect they will all be on good contracts.
Just to think - Salford could have a half back pairing of Sneyd and Fages if they had handled their promising players with a little more consideration.

As a saints fan, fages really is nothing special and a million miles away from the class of Sneyd or gale

Half backs sometimes take time to develop to their full potential. I think Fages will grow into a fine half over the next couple of years.

| Always fun to see opposition fans making a point to play-down and ridicule a signing by a competing club. When the same people would be out of man size tissues if their club had signed the same player.
Most tribal.
