I was just looking on the Hull website and came across the 2010 squad formation page:

I dont know if you can read anything into this or if this is just work in progress. Either way it makes quite interesting reading and may give some indication into next years team.

I think the most interesting things are the lack halfbacks and a certain somebody in the team who is supposed to have gone; Mr Hull FC Paul King!

I think we could do with a couple more 2nd rowers looking at that.

i hope washbrook, whiting and burnett get enough games, i cant see it though.

they will.fitz,long and o'meley will have their fare share of injuries!! hope they don't mind,but being realistic!!!

I can only see them getting games if there's injuries, I see washbrook spelling fitz at 13 much the way Lee did with Radford this year. Whiting and Burnett are going to have to rely on injuries unfortunately.

i've no problem with whiting and burnett having to relie on injuries but washy should't have to.

i'd like to think that burnett will feature in at least a third and whiting half of games. it all depends on what agar does with the probaby out going pair of radford and tickle.

Its been mentioned on here before that Hull are paying off King in monthly installments so presumably he is still on your books until payment is eventually made in full ?

I agree with the washy part and I think Burnett will be happy to wait for his chance and look to play regularly in 2011 when Radford and Tickle will probably leave.
Whiting I'm not too sure about, I think if he doesn't play many games he will opt to leave as he only has a one year deal (at his request supposedly) and if he doesn't cement a starting spot I think he will move on.

"Tell you what Kingy, we will let you leave, but we will pay you monthly and you can play if we need you."

Now I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound anything like paying him off.

He will never play for FC again, the installment payout was more to prevent him having a huge wedge to pi55 away!

That was just so he did'nt spend it all at once!

Radford, Fitzgibon and Luauki can and will probly have to play prop at some point. But we do seem to have an abundance of 2nd rowers yes.

Only 2 halfbacks is what worries me, i know people can fill in, but still only the 2 are specialist

Glad to see Lauaki listed in the second row, he could do some damage out wide and threw out a nice ball for Briscoe try against Bradford.

It worries us all I think. I'd much rather have a back up specialist halfback, not some utility who can cover backs or front row an not shuffling half the team about.

I know there's a thread on Danny Allen, but who was the other Leeds halfback that went to Doncaster last season i think it was? He seemed pretty good? Did a SL club pick him up?

Playing for fev now. Kyle Briggs I think you mean.

how come kingy gets a mention I thought he was been payed off if he doesnt find a club??

Isn't Jordan Turner the back up 6 and Berrigan the 7 ? on saying that I can see Danny Washbrook playing a lot of 6 and 9 next season as injury cover.

I know its only a depth chart but its also interesting that the first choice wingers are Raynor and Calders, no place for Briscoe. Oh and good to see Hall as a first choice centre.

some players shouldn't be moved around having your first choice fb and hooker back ups in other positions doesn't work for me.

tansey, horne, long, berrigan ad washbrook should, form permiting, only play at 1, 6, 7, 9 and 13 respectively.

The trouble is, what top class half back in their right mind is gonna come to a club where he knows hes gonna be 2nd choice. i think thats why danny allen left leeds, for first team football. Its a pickle

I agree but we are talking about Agar here.

based on the formation shown do we really think this is gonna happen?

ideally we'd have 2 back up 7's. one in our under 20's and the other, probably one thats to old for the u20's, training full time with us but playing nl1.
