Quote: nottinghamtiger "Don't take this as a negative post (I wish we had signed Manu), but I wonder if Hull are a bit behind the times. This season, the game seems to have moved away from the forward battle of previous years, with pace and mobility replacing the "heads down, booty up" style of play of seasons gone by. Added to this, a reduction in substitutions in 2017 (and I still think it might be 2016) will move the game even more into the hands of creative, quick players.
So as the game is moving towards being more expansive and less in the forwards, Hull have significantly strengthened their forward pack. I'm not sure it wil work, but I hope it does.'"
I disagree, forwards are still the most important part of the team and win you games, Leeds have the luxury of an NRL back 5, but still rely on their forwards, there key players have still be peacock, cutherbertson (MOS) etc and that's why they have signed Galloway.
Even at Cas you would struggle without Millington and Lynch.
All the players we have signed can do big minutes so 2017 shouldn't be a problem.
