Care to elaborate on that?

Was paleasena lineham Abdul arundel Thompson Whiting Lancaster and Bowden not first teasers and with Howarth playing first team football for Salford and Saints over the last coup,ex of seasons it was hardly a second team out there today, glad you got 2 scores from our mistakes and that hall missed 3 conversions so the score didn't end 52-0

Weak side?are you happy then with the so called fringe players out there today with the development of your up and coming so called future first team players which were mixed with the established 1st teamers?because what I saw today was a very poor side,wether it be coaching,players,tactics if it had been the other way around and Wakey were on the end of a good hiding ,I would be worried.I get a bit fed up listening to excuses after defeats blaming a weakened team,you know as well as I do that Hull should have strength in depth to beat a little side like Wakey,accept the defeat and move on

From that team we put out today I would imagine only, Lineham, Sneyd, Ellis, Feka, Bowden and Thompson will feature in the season opener. Abdull and Lancaster are 18. Howarth is 3rd choice hooker.

Regardless of experience the vast majority of the team were second choice or worse.

BUT, there were still some decent players out there, so congratulations on what was obviously a good performance by you.

As I clearly said in my post, we will have to call on alot of those guys at some point, so I'm not happy with how easily you won.

Why the big chip on your shoulder? I think either Widnes or yourselves will come bottom, but that doesn't mean you are a bad side by any means, this is a competitive league.

Well done you, all that abuse you've been giving him has clearly been the motivation he needed. You are once again proved to be the most knowledgeable poster on this forum.

you say you think Widnes or wakey will finish bottom were do you think your team will finish?

7th or 8th at best probably, but really I think Salford, Hull, Hull KR, Cas, Widnes and Wakefield could end up in pretty much any order, there isn't a stand out weak team.

Whoever finish bottom 4 will almost certainly stay in Superleague. There's still a pretty big gulf.

You just said Wakey or Widnes will finish bottom ! Mek yer mind up.

So no arundel whiting or paleasena then

I do think you'll finish bottom, if I had to put money on someone it would be you. But I also think it's a very tight league and it's not beyond you to scrape the top 8.

Is it that hard to understand?

Erm well, I already said Paleaasina will play. Whiting, I doubt it, but it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

Arundel definitely not. He's been free to talk to other clubs all off season and was the only non-injured player not to go warm weather training with us. I don't expect him to play a single competitive game this season. In fact as I understand it he's not even registered to play because we don't want him on the salary cap.

From Wakefield's point of view we've been well beaten in past season friendlies by Hudderdfield Colts and Leeds semi Colts so this is a big step forward.
For Hull I don't think this told them anything they didn't know. Their strength isn't that deep.

Erm well, not in the post you claimed there would only be 6 of those players in the team HTH
Personally I think you will have to rely on Whiting and Arundal as you clearly don't have the strength in depth to no play them, but hey must be nice to be a big club challenging for the top 8

Feka is Paleaasina, I mentioned him in the 6.

Whiting will play plenty of rugby this year but won't be first choice. Arundel won't play. Sa, Yeaman, Michaels and Logan are our centres, and if needs be we've got Whiting and Talanoa who can play there too.

How can you put money on Wakey finishing bottom and say it's not beyond them to finish in the 8 ?
It simply makes no sense. Yes it's very hard to understand.
Either you like wasting you're £££ or you think Wakey could make the 8. Which one is it ?

Silly me I thought his name was Iafeta Iakopo Paleaaesina

To be fair he's been known as Feka since his days at NZ Warriors

Fat Feka

Once again Hull fans think they have a Devine right to finish in the top 6. But for the past few years, like us, they've done jack sh*t. They seem to think that because they have a better stadium (albeit ground sharing) they are better than us. Well having a shiny big stadium doesn't make you a big club, just ask Huddersfield.

On Richard Owen, well done to him for scoring two tries, against one of the poorest Hull sides in living memory. Does is wash away his previous poor performances however? No it does not. I'd like to see him perform when it matters.

Why the big debate, it was a very under strength Hull team that was their choice. I doubt they will have learnt much from today but neither should we get carried away because it is unlikely today's team from Hull will bear little resemblance from that we play during the season.
It was good for us because we will have gained confidence and may have allowed Webster to run the rule over some players and combinations before the season starts.
I am sure if we are all honest how many of us believe we will not finish in the bottom 4, we can hope not but in reality the odds are we will.

Let all the others keep thinking it and saying it as in previous seasons that we will be bottom. We never have been bottom and FWIW I don't think we will be this year either. I believe Webster is a smart cookie, a shrewd young coach who knows how to get the best out of the squad. Let everyone keep saying " it's only Wakefield " week after week, I reckon they're all in for a shock. This league is gonna be a belter this year, a real tight affair with many surprises along the way.

When did all did animosity start between wakey and hull fans? So many angry people on here

Probs when Hull fans started thinking they supported a big club
