From the point of him signing I went on pritchard watch like most hull fans. Was suprised at amount of times he did 80 n long mins suprised me. But this is a different league and personally I'd look to bring him off the bench about 20 mins in. He could then go right through or if in the position to do so bring him back off early. Seasons are now longer over here when they should be getting shorter. Peaking at the right time with players with gas in the tank is massively important

Be interesting to see how we play him. Mini does 80 regularly too, so guess there'll be varying rotations with Ellis potentially covering both back row and prop assuming Manu is 13. Photo of Ellis on the anti-gravity treadmill today. Hasn't let his top half go. Also thought Bowden looked quite trim from a training photo last week.

He did 6 80 min games, he also did 10 games less than 60 mins.

i'm not sure manu will be 13, i see him operating on the right, perhaps coming on to spell mini, who perhaps needs to play a bit less in some games to maximise his effectiveness. abdul for me has earned first crack at 13

Dean Hadley will be our starting 13.
A fitter and leaner Abdull will play more games at 6 than Pryce who i think will once again start well then fade.

That stat I like most regarding pritchard was he made 1073 metres after contact! In this league with with lesser quality centres and less defense oriented that could be brilliant for some of the backs to play off and especially houghton

I'd have mini n manu starting 2nd. Pritchard off bench. Each of the 3 would do 60 ish mins and munu would have a spell at 13 within the game. If any of them was to play big mins it's manu who's best suited
Ellis was boot off back with the lads before the break. To be running already anti gravity or not is unreal. Kids aged 21 probably wouldn't normally be this far into rehab.

defo agree big impact player and especially think your forward line could be the best in super league be great to see some team up and challenging and the gap between 1 and 8th be alot closer and add for a better super 8s all the best for the season
