Never gave all that much mind until we were in Super League, definitely never favoured a team.

Coventry Bears are my second team, although they seem to have ripped me off on the shirt I ordered off them, but that's Cov for you.

Quote: Edith "You have to have a top flight team, don't you? Just one of them things.

Whilst Rovers were down in't Championship, I always rooted for Leeds when they played. Didn't support them like I did Rovers like, they were just my top flight team.

I suppose Fev are now my Championship team.'"


Last time Hull were in the lower leagues I stopped watching top flight RL. Used to follow Hull and City home and away and go to rovers home games when time allowed.

I'm not following ing Cas!

Galea was knackered in his last year with us. You were also after Taylor, Hodgson and Lovegrove and you acquired Watts.
Surely you can see that it had the Howes connection written right across it.
Jordan Thompson is a player under Howes as well.

Howes nor anyone else is doing anything wrong but with both your previous coach and DOR having him as his agent it doesn't really take a rocket scientist.

I know he was, but I still don't have a problem with the signing.

Check my posts on our board about Howes, not the best way to do buisness.

Galea was a reasonable risk I suppose, He was a player PG trusted and he maybe saw him as his leader on the pitch. Inevitable that he would spend a time on the side lines but ultimately the lack of a HB to find his line running made him look worse than he was.
Feka isn't a risk its just madness, was never more than a luxury player and that was years ago, he's gone down to a league thats probably below Championship level since and can't there having been a queue to take hime on. There is a distant hope that he may become a player he never was but I doubt it really.He could rival Hutch Miava as far as signings go.

If Feka was a year I wouldn't have a problem with it at all, it's the 2 years what amazes me. Unless he's on 30k.

I have no problem with the McDonnell signing, he's a very good fullback and certainly better than Eden. The stats for McDonnell before that injury back it up.

Besides, Shaul grasped his chance and we now have 2 excellent fullbacks.

Galea was an odd gamble for me. It didn't pay off, but it was only for 12 months and we didn't miss him when he was out.

Quote: Diablo1967 "Another load of old cack.'"


Having personally watched both Eden and McDonnell for as much of a season as they both played McDonnell cannot be said to be "certainly" the better player.

The statistics presumably state that McDonnell has missed a lower percentage of tackles. This can be explained by the fact that McDonnell is probably the worst full back I have ever seen in terms of reading a game and positioning in defence.

Look back at the footage of some of the try's we conceded last year, McDonnell is so far out of position he's not even in shot for some of them. When coming into the line his passing is about as accurate as Ray Charles in an archery competition.

Eden is far from the finished article and has some serious deficiences in his game which he was making impressive improvement in until he got injured.

Shaul looks to have great potential.

Watch Eden next season, he's a very impressive player.

One average and one still having a lot to learn in that position.
If that's your definition of excellent then Crooks must be super dooper truely amazingly excellent in the centres

I said as much on the FC board and was ridiculed for disputing McDonnel was one of the top 2 full backs in SL. I actually struggle to think of a SL team with a full back who isn't at least very close to his 'talent'

Seems to be a good spread of Fb's atm.

McDonnell has fitted into Hull FC quite well tbh.

I would have had a HUGE problem with giving a decent amount of our SC to a player who was 34 and clearly knackered.

Why? We had the space on the cap, needed a back rower with experience and can't have got our other targets.

I've got no doubt he was good to have about off the field.

You should have brought him in as a coach but as a player he was finished at the end of the 2011 season.
I'll say it again that 'I' would have had a problem with it even more so when it was obviously a 'mates rates' deal.
