in response to the initial question:

GO

Another thing I don't get is! I don't recall us scoring a try (at least not many!) from outside the opponents 10/20m line this year, yet when we get pens in opponents half we seem to tap all the time even though our style of play and 'skills' seem to say booting it into the corner would work better?

Do you watch the games Fletcher is a good player just an unlucky yr, Dodd always gives 100% And duffy keep him he is better that Thackeray.

Isn;t this question the wrong way round? Shouldn't it be, "who can we get in and who then weill we have to let go to bring him in?"

Personally I would have Korkidas after doubts to begin with, but we already have a discipline problem, so maybe that may be an avenue not worth exploring, unsure at the more. Need a lot more fire power up front.
I am almost certain that within the next 5-6 weeks, one of our half backs will go. Would like to see duffy stay.

Has the Vikingman, Mark Smith love in come to an end shocker?
We got a good un in Beswick, looks like the Vikings released the wrong player.

Spoke to Danny at Sheffield. He has been fit since the St Helens home game !!!! Should be given an extended run in Gaskell's absence IMO, with Doddy returning to centre in place of Tyrer

Don't agree. BB is/was a good player but his last two seasons with us were hugely disappointing, and tbh, he didn't really impress when we played you.

anyone have any idea about the rumour that Webster is coming back to Hull again?

mark smith shouldt go hes one of our best
dorans the one i want to go mostly, its like playing against 14 men, with only 12 ourselves with him in our side

He still set up plenty of tries for us last season though. IMO we've no specialist Loose Forward now who gave us what Bob did even though he wasn't the player he'd been in previous seasons. I'd have him back like a shot.

You have to remember though that in 2006 and 2007 we had one of the best packs in the division. Your best players will always play much better with better players around them and I feel that's what we're seeing now with Smith. To many players putting in average performances is going to bring everyone's performances down no matter what their potential.
