Just watched the highlights. If you look at the spacing between Sharp and the next man in he's about right. Once again our defence compressed into the middle and failed to slide right. Depressing that we just can't sort it out.

Defending wasn't exactly stellar across the park either.

Squad to look something like this hopefully :

1 Lance Hohaia or Matt Bowen
2 Sharp
3 Gleeson, Justin Hodges, Ben Pomeroy, Junior Sa'u or Joel Reddy
4 Yeaman
5 T. Briscoe
6 Horne, Gareth Widdop or Ben Roberts
7 Tim Smith, Jeff Robson or Brett Seymour

8 O'Meley
9 Houghton
10 Radford
11 Tickle
12 Manu
13 Westerman

14 Obst
15 Whiting
16 Young, British prop - Luke Burgess ?
17 Moa

18 Turner
19 Lyne
20 Kent
21 Cunningham
22 J. Briscoe
23 Green
24 Crooks
25 Nicklas

Think some people are confusing our squad with fantasy RL.

Got to dream

and your still wrong

Don't see the Gleeson deal happening tbh.

So, it seems these players are available and willing, just not to Hull FC.

We're a far less attractive proposition and will be until we start getting some regular success on the field. A bit 'chicken and egg' since we need better players (and coach IMO) to get that success. It also wouldn't surprise me one bit if we never even enquired about him.

Indeed, it's a bit daunting that MacManus is quoted as saying "we'll have a new ground in 2012, we aim to have a squad that can grace it", ambitious words from a CEO.

And what do we get from Rule....useless spin.

So you know who we are signing for next season?

Worth noting that Hohaia is currently not playing at NZW and has been replaced by an 18 year old.

Rule doesn't have the freedom of expression that MacManus has because he doesn't have the equivalent power over what happens at the club. TBH I wouldn't have his job for anything - no ability to control events but the responsibility of being the public face of the board. He's just a reflection of decisions made by the members of the board with actual power.

Played on saturday and got a great try
