There is only one thing to fear in this game, and that is that it's a derby.
Anything could happen!

| Quote: barham red "If you'd have done the same at the begining of last season and compared Hull's 17 with saints 17 then you'd have said it would be a walk over for saints. Sometimes results aren't based on supporters views of how much better they are than the oppo. Personally I think we're pretty well matched and FC will have very few changes to their team. Add to that FC have started really well the last 2 years and derby's are always a close run thing and I think it'll be a tough one. I'd take a 1 point win now.'"
well said, this is gonna be a close game, all this better man for man stuff is crap,
Tansey is class on his day, but then can drop a clanger, but S. Briscoe hasnt exactly been world class over the last season. T. Briscoe is as said earlier the thorn in our side.
were better in the centres, and probably the halfs but we dont know what Green will be like yet.
forwards wise Hull are always strong, and will be again next year, this is there strong area. O'Meley, Fitz, Manu are top quality then you have Moa of the bench who i think will be a big hit this year, Clinton and our back row are great, but Vella needs a big year IMO and we just dont have the impact of the bench that Hull have.
the one place we are definatly stronger is our coach,
so all in all for me it will be close, but we will win.  |

We have a good set of forwards but a weak set of back (story of last season), early season weather generally favors us but not sure how the roof will affect that. |

Agar has won the CCup and was part of the coaching team who got us to the G/Final.

3. Whiting............ Lead Wellies is more of a 13 than a prolific try-scoring Welham
4. Yeaman........... Been nothing since Cooke left and never has and never will be in the same class as Webster
5. Sharpe............ Not a bad signing but no where near as tough and durable as Colbon
6. Horne............. FC fans rate him on his performances 5+yrs ago and looks washed up and finished at 27 (no disrespect to the kid) where as Green has everything to prove (and I believe he will do).
7. Long.............. Best days are well behind him (archetypal FC signing). Dobson SL Dream Team 2yrs running (despite James Rule not rating him - "Hello McFly..."icon_wink.gif
8. Fitzgibbon....... An RL legend but injuries now getting the better of him where as Clinton was our best forward last season.
9. Houghton ...... One dimensional dummy-half scooter. Fisher being a proven SL hooker and one who is technically superb.
10. O'Meley........ Still a great player granted. Vella still a great leader.
11. Manu........... A real handful yet Newton probably has the most complete skill set for a 2nd rower in SL.
12. Tickle.......... Fairly consistent but not in Galea's class.
13. Westerman... Poor season last year and allegedly comes with a lot of baggage. Murrell has a superb passing and kicking game, is a great defender (ask Fitzgibbon).
14. Washy......... Predictable right side-step and throws good passes into row Z. Mason is a super-star of World RL.
15. Lauak..........i Hard runner but offers nothing else IMO (spends too much time copying Wrestling moves). Lovegrove is solid workhorse with some expcetional metre stats last season and was Players Player last season.
16. Moa............. Always looked out of shape for me. Cockayne superb pace, aggression and passion.
17. Radford........ Seen better days. Wheeldon now coming into the best form of his career.
Mind you FC are still awaiting their new half-back so I'd expect them to sign someone like Alex Murphy. ![]()
I've finally found somebody who makes me laugh more then Frankie Boyle

TBF he has a point with some of his comparisons and on some I would even agree. However as usual with the said poster, they have blatentley gone out of there way to make them KR look better in every position. |

He did. Albeit by somewhat unorthodox methods.

On SOME maybe, but a long way off all. And to say the 17 is 'a class apart' is, quite frankly, hilarious. |

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
