Same here, i expect tansey to be pushing fro england honours next season, but Long is the catalyst for me

With a injury free season... Tansley will become the best fb in super league! ive liked this guy from day 1!. this guy will be a proper star nxt year!

Think there all great signings on paper but just feel fitzy will be massive for us , massive presence on + off the field , captain for me next year , also think lauaki could be awesome

our whole season depends on Long being fit and in form

if he's injured or out of form then we're back to square one...making the meters but having no brain to convert that into points.

It would definitely be fitz for me if he'd of been signed for longer as his influence could really shape our club, just not sure he will be here long enough to do that. If he stays for 2yrs then he's probably the best signing we've made.
If not, it's Long, closely followed by Tansey.

id say the two from the roosters are top top signings for ANY team...let alone a team that has been pathetic for two years running....to have 3 former kangaroos in your starting pack( fitz,shrek,berro) says alot to me that it really is shiit or bust this year...if the team fails, then agar definatly deserves the boot...no excuses this time....

Fitzgibbon is your biggest and best signing of 2010 by a country mile. His level of performance and consistancy in the hardest comp in the world over such a long period of time has got to be respected.
My only concern would be that because he isnt a ball playing or tackle busting forward, his contribution may be underestimated by some.
Would have him in the Rovers squad tomorrow.

i cant wait to see them all to be honest, im very optimistic about 2010, even more then 2009 ha ha ha. roll on next season.

Fitz is our new Steve Kearney/Richard Swain respect on the pitch but even more off it.

hope so

well ive just finished longys book and it says in there that he doesnt like been a captain so thats settled for me, fitzy capain, washy and radders vice captains for me.

Fitzgibbon....the bloke is a leader and a winner with a hugh well earned and respected reputation....will be a privelage to see him in a Hull Shirt.

i think we will see the best of Berrigan playing with a bigger and better pack .He is a class act and hiopefully will have a injury free season

il second that, rugby league legend.

I have a feeling that Tansey will be injured a few times this season. I don't know why. Seems to be a bit of a cursed role in recent years! We got a few good years out of Briscoe until he started getting injured, but add to that Motu, Prescott, Byrne, plus Tansey has already picked up a few knocks already in the few games he's played for us.

If Long can stay on the park, it has to be him. Adam Dykes was a great player for us when on the pitch. It's just that he never was on it. I'm hoping long can have at least that sort of impact over a longer period of playing.

Fitz will hopefully be another Kearney minus the 10th minute sending off!

O'Meley will hopefully have the impact we wanted from Crocker.

Turner isn't the finished article, so can't expect much from him. If he wants the LF position, there's a bit of competition from other young English players that have been here longer!

Lauaki and Moa (mixed with Manu) are guaranteed to do the biz in the pack. I really think our forwards will be the best I've ever seen at the club this year. The backs, however, will be the problem. We are the equivalent of England in the 4N!
