Quote ="A unknown superstar"I went on Sunday, and had to ask if Langley was even playing. I agree about Poore he could well play for a top 5 club but he isn't great. That said I would take him at Hull. As for Langley over Whiting
you're welcome to him. Whitings a fantastic player.
You certainly have a lot of big players, I was shocked at how big James Green is. He's huge! The Walker brothers are big lads too. Props is the strong postion for you but don't rate your back row there all grafters barring Cox who I don't rate too highly regardless. Lovegrove can't be held in high regard even by Sandercock as he was apparently offering him to Wakefield. Another who is poor in defence.
Your pack is what Hulls used to be, a pack full of workhorses with the odd impact player ala Manu/Cox.'"
Per the Langley comment, I heard similar from a Rovers fan who said that he didn't think Langley was even on the pitch. For this reason I watched closely on the video and he was in a lot of tackles and looked very busy. I fear his downfall is that he shaved his head and now just fits in with the likes of Weyman, Lovegrove and anyone else that chooses to have a short haircut!
Whiting to me is what Netherton is to us. Solid, reliable, does the graft but is not going to make the mouth water or sell tickets on the basis that he is playing!
Anyway I couldn't see either Hull team not making the 8 but the league does look stronger for 2014 and a run of bad officiating decisions and injuries like HKR got last year could certainly push them down in to 9th or even 10th. I can't see that happening but I also might be underestimating clubs like Bradford, Widnes and Salford.
you're welcome to him. Whitings a fantastic player.
