| As long as we keep Adamson for next season that would be my main concern, I'd also be looking how little McPherson is playing and be concerned me might be injury prone - hope not as he does look good when on the pitch.

I take it you don't want us to finish top 6 then.

The words swallow and summer seem to spring to mind.

Get real please.
Here's a statistic what tells a big story, an average superleague second rower verses Adamson. Also he has played 1 game less than Adamson.

Danny Tickle is not an average 2nd Rower not by a long chalk. I think everyone understands Adamson is not our best 2nd Row Ashurst is .
He's Hull's primary kicker and consequently has greater game time despite having played 1 less . other than that there's not that much difference , Adamson might point out that Tickle ended up on the losing side when he played against him

| Is O'Meley really the right way to go? Many on here have been complaining about the retirement home tag we were getting labelled with!! For the first time in many years, the club seems to have got its recruitment policy right for this season. Gledhill and Ashurst both seem to have been quite astute signings. Add to this McPherson and Moon look a cut above some our recent overseas signings.

I'd say he is, pretty much widely excepted that a decent prop gets better up to his early 30's. I'd say that MO would be a decent addition to the squad. Still to be convinced that McPherson is a good buy, brilliant when on the field but not on it enough for me.
Also what I would gaurd against when looking at the O'Meleys of this world is look what happened last time we had a good season and made the play off's, we went out and bought the likes of Edmondson who on papaer looked good and ended up dragging us to the bottom, think we ideally need to look to continue strengthening as we have in mainly looking for younger players who aren't getting thier big break at other teams.

Spot on Ashurst has been superb for us, I'm amazed Saints let the lad go.

i was a little too he is a very honest player, but not a world beater and he have a few second rowers, i think mark flanagan has added to our team but would not of minded if we had re-signed

Agree with Mitch.
Give good young players not getting game time at the big clubs a chane, and dont over strech ourselves with older big money signings (like Bradford).

| On the age thing, I'm sure the majority of our fans would take a punt on Morley if he was available & wanted to come home and he is what 35? Not saying O'Meley is as good but not far short and is considerably younger. As much as I to would prefer to have younger guys coming through & given a chance I think at prop we need an experienced pack leader and feel MO would compliment the massively improved 'New Feka' next season and give our halves (hoping Smithy signs a new deal) even more time & space to do their damage.

I think there was slightly more to it than signing Edmonson that dragged us to the bottom!!!!!
Despite being injury prone he was actually a class player. I remember when he first came he was always looking to off load, it was on as well but we never backed him up. At that point he realised it wasn't on and then stopped doing it. We never played to his strengths at all. But then the whole team underperformed on our way to the bottom. Some much more than edmonson ever did
