Although we played well last night and have got a bit of momentum going

There's still alot of players should go regardless of last 2 games feel keeping some of them would just be papering over the cracks

Fash a prime example some fans love him cause he's "hull through and through" but he's not gunna take us to the next level and that's why we don't ever deliver a season challenging at the top

Hull Boys club, same team as Craig Hall. Briers did a couple of coaching sessions as he is married to Dave Halls daughter, and Dave was the coach at the time.

I was in the same team. Good times, and correct even then he stood out. Could have been a bit older then under 9’s like but won’t of been far off

As the name states …. Hull boys club 4 ever … if I remember correctly josh hodgson played in that side too . I could be wrong though . A few years below my age group though

I think Josh Hodgson played for East Hull under a young coach called Lee Radford.

Yes, but every team needs players like Fash and Cator. You only have to look at their stats each week to see the amount of work they get through.

Although we do really need some more big forwards to compliment these 2 as the second half last proved when we were struggling to make metres.

Played for boys club when young though I think

But would fash and cator get in saints wire or wigan?

Definitely not at saints or wire

They're the level we need to get to consistently

I think Josh played in the age group 1 or 2 below, although I am pretty sure Danny played a year above him self anyhow due to development.

He did end up at East Hull, but started at boys club when it was club number 1 in Hull.

RIP brownie, man made it. I only ever park at bonus now in town as a mark of respect to the area and past

We don't need XVII players who would all get into the Saints and Wigan teams.

Smith has hinted at giving Houghton a break so we could see Dwyer starting and Lovodua on the bench.

St Helens and Wigan aren't 100% full of world beaters.
LMS is a plodder but is in Saints first 17.
Fash comfortably outplayed Byrne last night and he is there number 8, and he had better stats than Byrne had last week against Wakefield aswell.
They have more better players than most teams, hence why they do so well, but they're not all world class internationals. You still need players who are solid and get through the hard graft.
I'd probably rather have Fash in my team that Dudson, and he's in Wire's first 17.

criticising Satae for his effort in defence is not a wind up.Most on here just see his go forward
Still there are some on here that are not so blinkered see below

Big win in terms of recruitment and retention, will give players much more confidence in signing.

Still not sure on Satae, total rock and diamond performance from him tonight.

Was nice to watch the game back, you get to see things that you don't notice live, but jesus christ if John Wilkin is the best sky can do then might aswell pack up. He wasn't even trying to hide his bias, I don't know why with all of the money sky have they cant get a decent commentary and summeriser team instead of just a bunch of ex players.
