It's not just whether they want to loosen the shackles, it's whether they have the personnel able to do that. Catalans do. Maybe Wire if Sandow isn't too flaky. But I don't see too many teams who look obvious candidates to play heads-up rugby.

I think hull could do some damage if halves can play well. Like young Logan in the centre and the pack, particularly back row has loads of options. If ellis stays fit he may give them a peacock type leader to follow. I think Pritchard will be a nightmare for rest of the league ( but I can't tip rubbish) Key man could be how young abdull develops and where he plays.

If Pryce starts off poorly expect Abdul to step in, hopefully we will also see a trimmed down Abdul too

I hear Kim Kardashian is jealous

Is Pryce still on top Dollar? needs to start stepping up if he is

Can't see Hull getting above 7th or 8th. Might even slip into the bottom 4.

They recruit big names every year but they haven't got a reliable spine in their team. They're capable of putting in the occasional great performance in amongst a lot of average and poor performances.

On his day he could be the most devastating player in SL. But he can't control a game. Sneyd is decent but average. Still a decent squad who a good coach should comfortably get in the top 8.
