A bit early yet but we look very good against the warm up team. Think Hull are saying its a good time to play us as we will be a bit rusty. But man for man we look far superior. For a minute I was starting to feel sorry for them but it soon went. Come on Rovers cannot wait.
Still waiting in the wings are
Hall
Netherton
Hodgson
Watts
and all the young lads.... Justin has a massive job to pick the best 17 from a very strong squad  |

The only to fear is complacency - we're different class man for man.
It's still the first game of the season though which will be a leveler.

I think we are just about the better of the two teams, but I would say that. That said Hull can't be written off. To focus on their team, Tansey is unpredictable, but when he's good, he's good. Briscoe is forever a thorn in our side but the half back situation at Hull is as unpredictable as Tansey. We know Horne can perform, and Long has more than enough experience but does he have the legs for it any more. In the forwards, I think Berrigan is a big gap to fill in the team, but Danny Houghton is probably the best young hooker in the country, IMO. Fitzgibbon is a match winner on his day, and Manu, again another Hull player who is up their with the best, can turn any game. O' Meley will have a season over here under his belt, and that Hull bench offers plenty in strength and defence but very little in attacking options.
I'm confident of a win, but I wouldn't want to think the team is over confident. Our match winner in all of this is Morgan. And with that, I rest my case.

HOW on earth do you get NILLED at Wembley ?
When your coach isn't a winner at heart and Gentle is not a winner at heart .
We were a pub team
I coached for a long time and we won 95% of games because winning is a mental state driven by a desire to CRUSH an opposition. Did FC look as though they wanted to Crush Wigan and strangle them until they screamed ? NO
RL is a tough tough game and Maylord She-dong you have no clue

Matt Cook too, and I'd like to think Taylor could push for place this year also. On a possibly heavy and churned-up pitch there might be a case for 4 forwards on the bench. We've got decent depth to the squad now, in any case.
2 things I'd 'fear'. Hull can still put out a decent 17 - their depth won't be too tested in round 1. Secondly their squad isn't complete and I'd expect them to add 1 top player or 2 pretty decent ones.

The biggest advantage we have over Hull at present is squad depth. That is a commodity that will benefit us over the course of the season but wont have a bearing on the result in Cardiff with two fully fit sides.
I still think that our first choice 17 is stronger than Hulls and we will beat them in Cardiff but it will be close. They also have the added motivation of redeeming themselves after the play-off loss.

Its a good 6 weeks away yet, plenty of time for our injury room to become packed to the rafters  |

2. Briscoe ........... Potentially a world class centre but Fox generally played better in the derbies last season (cue the "what about that tackle"icon_wink.gif
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. ![]()

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.

I don't see it as a job. It is a passion and love that we all share. Neil Hudgell:30566.jpg |

If we go into the game with the wrong attitude, we are likely to be beat! Our squad does look in far better shape at the moment and player for player, we are the better team. I was confident about beating them every game last season but it turns out we lost both league matches but won the one that really counted, so I am again very confident we will turn them over in Cardiff.
O'Meley is the man for them, led them superbly last season and barring injury he will do that again for them this year.
