Quote: airliebird,runninglate! "Taylor is better than Paea. Bigger. More mins. Better hands. Similar stats. Young and continually improving. Paea is a bigger force in defense that's all. Ellis is adding to the prop roster so it can only improve it.
On what basis do you go with catalans back row? Which 1 of them is better than pritchard? Which 1 have already proven himself in this comp like mini? Manu was a bit down in form last year tbf. That still leaves him on a par with Stewart at worst cos he was poor for souths.
Sneyd be fine. He was mostly over all. Unless u watched all of hulls games I wouldn't read to much into the comments of the FC drama Queens on here and social media. Even Pryce wasn't as bad as some make out. Was fine for a long time then lost form a bit. Beauty is though Abdull with a lot of games has shown he can do it. Hopefully kicked on further still.
On paper I don't think you can make to much of the teams. Wigan are least changed and look strong to me. Personally all the teams you name above hull are flimsy in areas Barring Leeds who don't so much have weakness just a question mark over how they'll deal with their losses.
Hull have questions too obviously. Think the leagues really shortened up with how the lower teams have strengthened and Leeds have weakened. God I can't wait'"
Having seen both closely, MP is by far the better player, ST ain't exactly gone forward since leaving us! Ellis you don't know how many games your going to get out of him, yes this can be said for a fair few players.
Your next point is strange, GS has been one of the finest back rowers in the NRL for years at a level above FP and a different league to SM and MM couldn't have laced his boots on NRL form. At his best DT is quality, he hits anywhere near that form he can play at and it could be frightening, JH is no mug either, another player I like, wish we had him.
Snead ain't reached anywhere near the level he was at Cas, which to me suggests the coaching which there lies another issue you guys look to have.
