Longey does have a house here I thought the deal with fc was that when his playing career was over that he had a coaching job with hull that's why he originally signed so he would continue with a rugby career, all sounds a bit bizarre to me

The coaching side of it has never been made public its just what some people thought would happen (me been one of them)

as for the house im hearing he no longer has it and he has been travelling, (read into what you like)

Yeah does sound like he prob want an easy season

Judging by the training I was watching yesterday at the gym and the weights he was lifting Fitz has no major shoulder problems.

be told - he's really struggling, Horne is ready for early retirement, Long is crocked and homesick and Radford has had his head amputated (although he's still in full training).

and would still make a good lad of Bailey lol

SL is travelling now and does not hold a house in Hull, is looking forward to the season AND gaining a further extention to his current deal .
Fitz does have a shoulder issue but nothing serious and should be ready to start the season but unlikely to play any part in friendlies.
RH is in light training and again may not play in pre season matches but will definately play at Cardiff.
LR is as always trying everything he can to be fit and should be ready for Cardiff if all goes well.
RW is training again now and should be ok.
Sharp will be ok for Cardiff.
WM has a thigh strain but nothing serious .
DT has a slight ankle issue but still training.
Rudolph pulled a muscle on Xmas eve but says he will be ok for next year after a good rest

Is that 'Rudolph' Agar? Tell him we still need a present or two (Back up Half/hooker)

Longey getting an extension never spec if ur getting cronk yeah okay

So in summary, we could have 7 doubtful for the opening round. That must be a record season-opening injury list.

Is there any chance of you posting that again in English ?

I don't feel we have heard that much about training this year . From fc website or HDM

Maybe not, but it's usually all pre season bollox stuff anyway that Smailes could write in October - no disrespect to him BTW, just that you could have expected the following:
We need to be more ruthless - check, Willie Manu
Players coming back from operations/rehab raring to go - check, Whiting, Yeaman
Pre season camp will be great for bonding - check, Whiting
Young player(s) seeking to break into the first team - check, Pearce, Nicklas
Fitness regime will be toughest ever -check, can't remember who
New signings very impressed with set-up - check, Sharp and Westerman
Not yet published:
Where we aim to finish (to be fair, FC don't often do this, more a KR/Morgan doing the double late January article)
Fans can make the difference
Pre season camp has been the best ever and we got loads done - thinking probably Fitz/O'Meley as we've not heard much from them.
Player X targetting international selection - probably Tickle and Houghton
