great, best signing this year.

My motm, hope he can stay injury free

He'll certainly have to have a big game on Friday night.

Thought Galea was outstanding and was my MOTM.

Wheeldon will have to grab his chance and slot in! If he plays solidly - our pack can be switched often without fear of disrupting the squad.

Though saying that, JM is correct - he is basically irreplaceable Vella.

Yup i'd go with that one too.

Great game yesterday to get our season underway (the weather eventually played in our favour!) Defence on the line was great, how bradford never went in more than they did is unbelievable. Was good to see players we missed last season back on the field & getting stuck in. KR site says Vella has a strained knee www.hullkr.co.uk/news.php hopefully we’ll see him back on the pitch soon, here’s to a quick recovery for him.

thought Scott Murrell was motm, followed by Fox who for me to his limited chances very well and then Walker whos defence has improved massively compared to last season.

mom for me was clint newton, he was outstanding throughout despite bombing that try off his break, but would agree that galea, walker, murrell, foxy and dobbo were all outstanding too.

TBF i thought he was pretty poor.

I thought he was solid defensively along with the rest of the team.
Our forwards had a real hard time against one of the best packs in the division. I was worried about our go-forward at times and the speed of the play of the ball but we were dominated in the forwards and found it hard going. It never helps when you have on of SL's best forwards missing for a fair period.

Clint is a lazy defender and time and again he was defending outside Welham and he regularly was defending no one as we were 3 on 2 in defence. He made a great break in the first half then ran away from his support and threw a poor inside pass against his angle of run. He also got dominated in most of his carries. I'm not just having a pop for the sake of it but i'm afraid i just don't subscribe to the Newton fan club and he has plenty to prove if you ask me.

He's not a bad forward just not as good IMO as some think he is.
