'when my life is over, the thing which will have given me greatest pride is that I was first to plunge into the sea, swimming freely underwater without any connection to the terrestrial world'

I wouldn't have Taylor if he paid us to play, he treated the club and fans appallingly.

Yes I would Jake just my opinion Mantallato might not be the fastest but is great in the air brings the ball back well and kicks the goals so more all round for me |

Can't disagree with that. In a combined dream team him and Talanoa would be the wingers. |

I don't think you need to worry about that, somehow. |

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.

I really don't get this view that Taylor treated the club or fans badly at the time of his leaving. He was offered a contract, chose not to sign it and went to Wigan which was and is a bigger and better club to further his career.
He has of course been a complete bell end ever since but that's a different matter.

Completely agree, couldn't blame him for going Wigan and can blame him for subsequently being a bell end |

Fair comment, and walker would probably get a bench spot but that's it, no one else is good enough to displace his counterpart in the Hull side |

Plus you got a big fee for him. He has subsequently moved to a club who have won more trophies than wigan have since he left and who sit higher in the league so bettered himself again |

Lunt would probably be 2nd hooker if Houghton didn't play the full 80 and Blair would probably get in as if say he's better than your stand off and is a good SR but that's about it |

We only play with 1 hooker but if we went with 2 we'd have to take lunt I guess as we have no 2nd hooker ourselves. blair wouldm't get anywhere near the back row and I'd take kelly if I had to have a half from rovers but would stick with tuimavave personally as he fits better with how we play |

Trophies, plural? Getting a slightly ahead of yourself there.
That said, there has been a grim, steamroller inevitability to your progress for a long time this season, and I wouldn't bet against you being right by October. |

Much as I'm keen for us adopt a much, much, much more aggressive, one-dimensional, flattering by imitation approach, there is still the issue that some players are just inherently [itoo[/i Hull FC. Like Cro Magnon man, they're robustly built, but the suspicion remains that [isomething[/i is missing. See this article, with a picture of hirsute lad who could probably play 80 minutes at 9 and make 1000 tackles a season, for further details:
