Nows the time to start thinking season 2011.

Whats you starting 17 for Hull...new signings included.

I'll start then eh?



1) Tansey
2) Briscoe
3) Whiting/ Turner
4) Yeaman
5) Sharp
6) Horne
7) Long


Dowes
9) Houghton
10) O 'Meley
11) Tickle
12 ) Westerman
13) Fitz

Subs
14) Washy
15) Lauaki
16) Manu
17) Moa

1. Tansey
2. Briscoe
3. Whiting
4. Yeaman
5. Sharpe
6. Horne
7. Long
8. Fitzgibbon
9. Houghton
10. O'Meley
11. Manu
12. Tickle
13. Westerman

14. Washy
15. Lauaki
16. Moa
17. Radford/Dowes


Only possible change, may be bringing Turner in to right centre and put Whiting to the bench for utility value, dropping Washy.

Tansey
Sharp
Whiting
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne
Long
O'Meley
Houghton
Fitzgibbon
Manu
Tickle
Westerman

Moa
Radford
Lauaki
Washy

Snap. Except I've put Briscoe with Yeaman as I think he can make his own opportunities more easily than Sharp who I've put with Whiting.

east hull fc and Mrs B:

Not a bad side by either is it? New signings to follow.

Same for me, except I would plump for Radders on the bench. Looking at the side, the pack looks good, the backs look devoid of any real punch for me. Hopefully we'll see a couple of backs signed before the season starts.

Should we re-name this the Knocker Norton propoganda thread? You will be sending the Humberside police helicopter up next with thousands of leaflets to drop over West Hull as it does its nightly duties.

Steady on fella sorry for been so positive!

Not all Hull fans are on a downer cant wait for the season to start!

You signed any more Aussies tonight?

I've only put Tom with Whiting as i'd like to see him get a pass.

I think we're going it a different way this year. I think our pivots are actually going to be 1,7 & 13. And if Horne and long are fit its a bonus, thus putting less pressure on whoever is covering at 6.

Hmm. You are so far out of touch!



Whats your 17 for KR?

Not the right board mate. Ill give you the best Hull FC team though.

Tansey.
Briscoe
Whiting
Yeamen
Sharp
Horne
Long
O'Meley
Houghton
Radders
Tickle
Westerman
Fitzgibbon

Washbrook
Manu
Dowes
Moa.

Pretty much as everyone else said.

Out of the rest there's only dowes and Turner who challenge the 17.

Lest wait till the new signings announced

Is that our muscled 6'4" organising hooker/scrum half with the pace of a winger who can also leap like a gazelle and kick the ball a thousand metres? .....Is it?

[size=50I put the 'muscled' bit in for the ladies.[/size

My 17 would be:
1. Whiting
2. Briscoe
3. Turner
4. Yeaman
5. Sharp
6. Horne
7. Long
8. O'Meley
9. Houghton
10. Radford
11. Tickle
12. Fitz
13. Westerman

14. Tansey (to play 9)
15. Manu
16. Lauaki to play prop
17. Dowes

I'd see no sense at all in signing a ball playing 13 to move him to the 2nd row and keep playing a prop at 13. It's playing a prop at 13 thats contributed to our boring rugby over the last 3 seasons.

Leaving out moa dave...bold statement that!

if it were my choice
1. Whiting
2. Briscoe
3. Turner
4. Yeaman
5. Sharpe
6. Horne
7. Long
8. Fitzgibbon
9. Houghton
10. O'Meley
11. Manu
12. Tickle
13. Westerman

14. Tansey
15. Lauaki
16. Moa
17. Radford

Hi Jed it's Lesley how are you, you looking forward to this season

Ive sent you a pm!

Think I've managed to pm u back lol

Get's my vote along with Mrs B.

I admire everyones confidence that Horne and Long will start the season at halves. Fingers crossed eh.

I would agree with that side and the bench to, however alot of people have moved tom brisoce from the left wing to the right wing, i would keep the left side of briscoe, yeaman and manu, as it was quite effective at times last season and that is where tom has played the most for us.

Bugg*r, knew i'd forget someone. Moa on the bench rather than Dowes.
