Assuming Rovelli does sign I said that if he's not already in the team covering for Long/Horne he should be on the bench rotating with Houghton. Therefore, not a utility player.
I think the balance would be fine. Fitz and O'Meley as starting props with Moa spelling O'Meley and Lauaki spelling Fitz.
Whiting can spell the 2nd row with Lauaki aswell. This is assuming Whiting can bulk up a bit and Lauaki can handle playing more minutes. Both achievable IMO. You've then got the added bonus that if a back gets injured Whiting can pretty much slot in anywhere.

Hull are just waiting for 4 nations to finish, then we can reveal we have signed Benji Marshall, grand final here we come!

I've never seen him play, but I'm not liking the raps (or rather lack thereof) for Rovelli. Still, with low expectations, you can't be disappointed.

no ones seen that blake green play, but apparently hes amazing!

No,he will be amazing under the wing of a coach who can apparantly bring out the best in players,when no other coach could.

"IF" we do sign the lad let give him a chance ..How many of our Good S/L players would make the grade in Auss ..M Dobson wasn't first team back home ..But the lad carry Rovers ..It's harder to break into the first team in Auss then it is in S/L ..How many S/L player would make the Auss starting 17 ..Fingers crossed England do it Sunday

That's the difference between the fans.

A couple of people have mentioned about him (Rovelli ) playing BEHIND a poor pack.....well IMO a good half back plays IN FRONT of his pack. Out in front leading and navigating the team around.
Also can anyone tell me what exactly they believe is the difference between a 7 or a 6 is??? please dont say a 7 puts the ball in the scrum lol or the 7 organises and the 6 does the fancy stuff.....love him or hate him Cooke did all the above for us and he was the 6 and horne 7.

IMO they both need to organise, dictate play and create attacking situations, AND if you're very lucky do they fancy stuff too. If they can't organise, dictate play and create they shouldn't be playing in the halves.

The number on the jersey no longer tells us, like in the old days, what position they play, but what they do on the pitch does tell us. I see us as only having one half back in the senior squad all the others have tried and failed. I hope we do sign a half that can provide the skills mentioned, to play along side Long.
