Makes you wonder why we've been offering players contracts and telling the press which positions were interested in strengthening then.

You'll have to do better than that, we don't need your applause, poor trolling attempt, you have a vivid imagination, we are talking to several players, so you won't have to worry about blistering your hands clapping!

I agree, especially as we are looking at a price increase for next season.
That's why I believe some announcements will be made soon after the season pass brochures come out.

Would rather sign Jarryd Hickey than Dowes,
or.............
not resign Dowes, move Fitz or Lauaki to prop,
this would release more cap space to sign a better overseas player.

| Well I'm not convinced, but it appears that many on here are of the opinion that we are going to go well next year, well from this fans perspective at least half of the team need to play their bloody socks off to get us anywhere near the next level.
Some people seem to have very short memories wrt injuries, last season wasn't unique for us, in fact it was closer to the norm in terms of our recent injury record.
Why do some people think that next year is going to be any different, particularly as our 'key' players are either the wrong side of 30 and or injury prone, in fact for this fan Mark Calderwood has good reason to feel aggrieved at the way he has been shown the door, I can think by that rationale, there are a couple of players he should have been behind, had it not been for his contract being up.
What concerns me is that we always bring in old(er) players to give the younger players some experience and the side some stability and momentum, then 2 years later we have a clear out and start again. This looks like being the cycle we are embarking on, 2012 will be clear out time again with new faces in (the next installment of giving 'Agars team' a chance), wheres the stability? How many 'Agars teams' do we have to put up with?

| Quote: Wytchfynder General "Thats what I like to hear, fans with some optimism.
All those teams who finished above us this season, are more than capable of doing so again next year having in many instances, recruited strongly or having a crop of excellent youngsters coming through. Rovers will be much stronger and better coached, Bradford appear to putting a decent side together as well as recruiting a more than capable coach. Salford will be better for the crop of players coming in and if Camel lips stays at the Crusaders I don't expect them to take a backwards step, that leaves us scrapping with the likes of Quins, Cas, Le Cats (who I think are recruiting reasonably well) and the new franchise for the minor places. Unlike some on here I foresee no end to the persitent injuries, particular with a 34 yr old scrum half (who will continue to get injured) and who will recieve little or no help from his current halfback partner in optimising our attacking options, nor any direction from our inept coach.
I fully expect another slide in the wrong direction, a season of injuries, no success and another 2 1/2 year deal for Agar at the end of next year, and like many others will still buy my season pass for 2012 along with shirt etc. etc. etc.
Its all a bit like the blind leading the blind really, but that, as Wilf regularly says is what being a Hull FC fan is all about. We expect much and once every 20 years or so get something back in return - only another 15 years to wait, everything else in between is just window dressing.'"
I agree with most with most you have put, I however with the current team I think we will finish 8th at worst still, only Bradford could overtake us, thats more to do with the coach then their signings who I haven't been overly impressed with. Cas have made a couple of decent signings but still have a poor coach and average pack.
Salford won't finish above us, again don't think their signings have been that impressive, they will improve but wont challenge the 8 IMO, Same with Crusaders.
Never no about Catalans though.
Been positive I think we will get more games out of Long and Horne next season, especially together.
I have a real bad feeling though the club is going to panic and waste the last quota spot on a player like Phelps.
Again i would love to be proved wrong.

I'd love to know who as there seems to be a real lack of quality available.
Maybe the club can pull a "Dobson" out of the NRL lower leagues.

What gives you that idea? Both are a year older and have suffered with injury and illness which will be a toll on their bodies.
Going on form, I can't see them on the pitch together more then 10 times next year, which does concern me especially with Washy as the backup!
A club a great as ours, should be aiming higher then 8th.

| That's what annoys me the most people saying we should be in the 8 as if they are accepting mediocrity like the board
