Quote: Hullrealist "I’m hoping we have a good first few fixtures, playing likes of London & Cas would mean we don’t need to try rush players back. They are on paper weakest squads in league. Either that or play Wigan early as they’ll steamroll most teams next year.
I’m hoping we see 3-4 friendlies this year. Big squad, let the fringes play big minutes and key players can be drip fed in. Rather than 2-3 friendlies with senior players only getting about 60 minutes across them'"
Agree on the pre season games
Think Smith got it wrong last season and also the pre season training trying to build fitness as the season goes clearly didnt work whilst the high intensity pre season training at HKR was evident to see especially in defence.
