No matter who we play 1st, we'll be reminded by our neighbours how the team we will be playing weren't at their best and were missing this player and that player etc.

Also if that's the best we can play then we'll finish 10th and so on.

We only finished 11th in our 1st season because Salford were so terrible was one quote I recall

salford 1st

I would prefer to have the sort of start we had last season. Play the so called big teams first when they might not be at 100%. It has worked for us before.

The smaller, weaker teams will be hoping to get us first then.

So if you finish above us you'll give us stick yet if you are the highest placed Hull team you shouldn't care about your neighbours?

That could be interesting - the wave of optimism could break pretty quickly, if they lost say 4 of the first 6. I think Agar looks to have done well in sorting out some of their problems, but they were calling for his head almost to a man at one point, so he's already on his second chance you'd think.

For us, I think the potential banana skins of Celtic and Salford will be more slippery than last year, and everyone else was capable of beating anyone on their day, with Leeds a cut above - though even they were beaten by Salford. No real preferences really - you've got to play everyone eventually.

Just like all the years the black and whites have rubbed our noses in it!
If we are the superior team in Hull for 5 years it will just about make up for the phiss taking since fc became a super league outfit!

You are right there..will be a very interesting season

I'll take us in 8th, you in 4th

and us going further than you in the play offs. Lets see if we all revert to the league table and it's validity then

Not really. If we get a good start, great. If not, we get rid of Agar, whom few believe is the coach a club of our size should have. A win win situation.
