I see what you are saying, but it depends on what you define as a good season, I been Ok with another 6th place finish, but we us playing a better style of rugby and being more consistent, anything above that would be a bonus and anything much worst a disappointment.

Whilst working within the salary cap, against a poor exchange rate, a limited player pool whilst competing against what are on the surface more appealing clubs. What is the recipe for success?

We've done the end of career Aussie international. The time is right to take a different path, time will tell if the choices made were correct but just maybe we could find a few jems out of this rag tag bunch.

I'm pleased with the areas in which we've recruited whether we have the right personnel in those areas I'm not sure but I'm willing to give them a chance and if nothing else its going to be interesting.COYH.

So Pinocchio has got someone to empty his bins and walk his dogs. He'll be signing Lee Jackson next

It's like the RL equivalent of the dirty dozen

I don't buy into the whole you have to wait until I've seen them in a Hull shirt thing all the time, if you have formed an opinion on someone stick to it, personally out of all our signings although possibly the lowest risk, I'm most underwhelmed with Thompson, not seen anything of him to suggest anymore then a steady utility, but if I'm wrong I'll hold my hands up, Tuson I'm not convinced over either had he played in a side other then Wigan I'm not sure he'd have been signed.

This lad though is a completely different situation, he's impressed in the world cup, and probabally off his own back asked for a trial to prove his ability, he'd be a low earner if he did get a contract and Hull have been open minded enough to give him this chance, I'd bet that Hull end up passing up the opportunity and he'll get a gig at a lower level, but sure if anyone had any negativity about that or couldn't see the merits in it, they can only be described as being a bit thick, no other way of describing it.

It'll improve our ability to hold on to a lead.

It's been proven time and time again that ordinary players attain super powers as soon as they don the famous black and white shirt. How can you doubt our signings?

Very good.

Can't hurt to have a look.

Des Drummond got picked up having given his brother a lift to a trial game, then agreeing to make up the numbers. One of my favourite RL stories, that.

For the HDM to call him a star , is stretching it a tad.

Carney did ok after his trial game at RL.

My only thought on this is how many outside backs do we want for next year? This would make 8 by my count, before fullbacks or Starling. Overkill, or someone to be offloaded?

Think Crookes or McDonnell could be in danger. Starling is more of a backrower.

It is only a two week trial at this point. There's nothing to suggest as yet that he'll be signed.

You sound like the mentally subnormal people that post on the HDM forum. In fact, pretty much word for word.

Do you still work at HRI? Have you picked up some form of illness from there?
