Washbrook or Sculthorpe (fully fit), am struggling to find the comparison.........Unless you mean an unfit Sculthorpe as there is no comparison to Sculthorpe in his pomp.
In answer to your question, if Washbrook were of a calibre of Sinfield, Sculthorpe or even Westerman then I would see your point but he isn't and I doubt he ever will be so can't see the issue with Fitzgibbon at looseman

How come at the end of last season everyone on here was basically getting wood over Lauaki, and how we all thought he'd be great, but now, before our season has even started, all I've seen for the past week is 'Oh, Lauaki, he's shiit, waste of money, don't want him, he shouldn't be in the 17, he can't tackle a 5-year-old, etc' ??? ffs

hey come on this is hull fc! every team we put out has to have a scapegoat

I think it's because most people (on here, at least) struggle to form a reasonable opinion, usually having to be an extremist on one side or the other.

I completely disagree with that....


erm...


no, you're absolutely right.

Not forming any opinions of any players till i have seen them play a few games. Last years performances areforgotten about and each and every player starts tomorrow with a clean slate.

Not overly impressed with Agar however he sees the players up close and personal and I HOPE he is picking players based on their form (hard to pick on form but you know what i mean). Again i will reserve judgement but he needs to make better interchanges tomorrow than he did last season.

I didn't! And I dare say you don't know exactly how many either, also you're judging him on the performance in his first pre season friendly, 1st derby, only his 4th appearance for the club and his 4th game in well over a year!

Grow up and form a reasonable opinion.

Hame strikes me as the sort of player who might struggle a bit in the first few weeks of the season, then, as the grounds get firmer and the weather warmer, he'll become quite unpleasant to play against.

If someone runs straight at you and you miss the tackle, its awful and that happened alot with Hame. I dont care if its the 1st pre season game, he was the only one who dropped of alot of tackles.

Actually, while I wouldn't go as far as SS has done I [idid[/i notice Hame missing a few tackles against Rovers. Now that may have been ring-rust or not quite full fitness - and I'm certainly not going to write him off on the basis of one performance - but it has raised a slight concern with me TBH.

Horne dropped off a few as well.

Give over

You stated Hame could not tackle a dinner..I say you are talking utter tripe!! I will enjoy reminding you throughout the season

Fair comment I felt it happened with a few, however early days reaching match fitness etc, out of all who maybe raised a slight concern with me in this area Hame is the least of my worries in this dept.
