| Quote: Rocknhulla "our half backs will be under pressure to perform and so they should be. coz we have lacked in that area for an criminal amount of time. i reckon Holdsworth is competent and will improve us on last year but dont know if he had the ability to take us into the top 4. im still waiting to see what Saymore can bring to the team on a consistent basis and im not writing him off just yet. the rest of the team looks good with depth that most teams will envy.'"
Daniel Holdsworth is my selection to have the most impact next year. Liked him when he played here in the NRL and he will help Hull FC reach the top 4 next year. Any odds been posted on this yet?

| I think if he stays fit it will be Galea.
Just think Ellis might be a bit of a disappointment, not sure why as he is a fabulous player. He will have to go some to fill Manu's boots.
I hope it's Holdsworth, if he doesnt we will struggle to make a significant impact. Wire in the playoff's showed we lack halfbacks that deliver in the big games.

| TBH I think it will & should be Holdsworth as we have missed that vital cog in the middle for years. He has the ability and now has the players around him to be able to give the side what it has been lacking, also think he may go well with Seymour.
Ellis what more can be said he is literally a world class player although we maybe expecting too much from him to start with but his experience and the game he plays will help us enormously. Yes losing Willie will leave a hole but TBF he did go missing at times and at least we only play St's twice unless drawn in the Cup and play offs.
Galea again a bit like Ellis, his experience and nous will be a great benefit to the team and will no doubt if he stays fit play as a big a role in moving us forward on the pitch as Ellis & Holdsworth.
McDonnell again having a specialist FB will make a big difference as we saw at the start with McKinnon the benefit of having a specialist in that position and how much it affected us when he left.

| I'm expecting Holdsworth to be our biggest signing and the one I'm most looking forward to seeing.
We've been blessed over the last six years to have someone who could run rings around players in Willie Manu with his ability. Ellis is a better player than Manu, but in a different mould imo. Someone who will run brilliant lines and stop anything that comes his way and is very consistent. Manu was a freak and had a very unique skill set.
I'm worried about our right hand side, which looks like it'll start off as Arundel and Crookes. Doesn't look the strongest in either attack or defence and Arundel's shoulder is a worry. Plus the fact imo Lineham is already a better player than Crookes (someone I've never rated even at amateur level).

| That right hand side of Seymour, Arundel & Crookes is the weakest area of the Hull side by quite a distance. Hull are strong everywhere else & have much more strength in depth this year.

by the way a couple of other players with girls names didn't fair too badly;
Lesley Vainakolo
Stacey Jones'"

If they are the weakest side we should be ok

| Holdsworth for me hopefully he will bring a bit of spark in the creativity department, get the ball wide fast, kick well and take some pressure off Seymour.

Would you care to elaborate on why you think he's crazy?
Because given the change we saw in our attack once McKinnon left this year it's not strange to think a natural full back will help in this way, is it? Unfortunately we can't all recruit 'the next Billy Slater (but not good enough for Hudds)' can we.

Maybe, maybe not!
But top 4 for you is way off the mark!
Adam Pearson has sold you all a dummy just like uncle Kath did, and you have all fallen for it again!!!
Gentle out! by round 15!!!

Or indeed, second row forwards that are not required by a bottom 4 club (Hull KR).
I can't wait for you all to see McDonnell play rugby, if you like a good laugh at rugby then he is your man/woman!
