No not really, As i say, i think Hull are a decent side, building towards something. I just dont think they strike fear in to anyone.

Not sure about the Conditioner but rlwe've just gotten a new Physio.rl
Quote: Code13 "I'm not convinced on your left hand edge in the backs with Arundel and Lineham.
That's an inexperienced pairing and I am not convinced on Arundel from what I have seen. Other than that (which might prove me wrong), it's a top 3/4/5/6 team IMO.
What's your depth like though? A good 1-17 alone wont be enough. '"
Lineham looks like a brilliant talent, hopefully he'll push on from his good performances this season (before he broke his ankle).
Personally, I'm not convinced that Arundel will be in the first 17. He'll be battling for a place with Ben Crooks. Crooks needs to bulk up but, if he does, then he could develop into a great centre.
I agree with you that it's pretty unproven.
If we sign Prince then I would be very disappointed if that squad didn't finish in the top 4.
Depth in the forwards is good. 6 props with SL experience (Lynch, O'Meley, Watts, with Johnson, Green and Bowden fighting it out for the 4th spot).
Back row looks decent too (Ellis, Tickle, Galea, Westerman, Whiting, Kent).
However, we lack depth in the backs. Only 3 centres (Yeaman, Arundel, Crooks) and two of those have missed many games last season, and it's a similar situation for most other spots. I imagine that we'll be relying upon Richard Whiting to be covering most places (although, if the rumours of Shannon McDonnell are true, then we'll have Rich Horne as utility back cover).
It looks promising, though. I'm looking forwards to the season, hoping that the recent seasons' injury crises doesn't occur again.

Rangi Chase to remain at Cas. I know it's not a 'new signing' as such but think most expected him to move to the NRL.

Its ok saying defo top 4 but look who you have got beat to get there, Warrington, Wigan, Saints, Leeds, Catalan. All these teams have quality running through the squad and have had for a few years now. With the signings Hull have made i dont see them breaking in anywhere this season. If they keep the same squad for 2014 then maybe in 2 years time. You cant jsut sign loads of players and expect all to Gel, Wigan may suffer from this as well.

It took Wakefield most of the season of to finally gel; only in the last 7 games did we show what we were capable of. |

Arundel is still crocked. He cannot lift his arm above 70 degrees and I would doubt him making the pre-season at all. On his day he is decent defensivly but is still unproven in Superleague IMO. |

We have Ben Crooks coming through (played about 12 games last season) who could be great if he bulks up a bit, but Centre is the position worrying me the most at the moment. We only have Yeaman, Arundel, and Crooks signed as recognised centres and, although all good players, Yeaman and Arundel missed a lot of matches last season for one reason or another.
Thankfully we have Richard Whiting, who gets us out of most holes and can play to a high standard at centre but I would prefer to keep him in the back row where he's best and not have to be constantly relying upon him. |
