Won't really strike fear into the opposition that team to be honest

Haha I'm sure yours will tho bud ??

Neither does Wigans team on paper from last season yet they managed to win 2 of the 3 trophies on offer. Forwards are where we will struggle if we get an injury to Feka or Paea or if either of them don't work out.

As for the team above I would rather have Arundel in instead of Yeamo. And i would have Tuson in instead of Thompson.

Why not? all of our subs would sail in your team.

Mine would be - Shaul, Biggs, Yeamo, Crooks, Lineham, New S/O, Miller, Watts, Houghton, Green, Ellis, Westerman, Whiting.

Subs - Tuson, Peae, Feka, Heremia

It's all about Radford for me next year, and if he has the ability to get them firing like he has said so. If we have a bit of luck with injuries, and the players are well conditioned then who knows what could happen?

Looking at the squad I believe Thompson is seen as a centre that can cover the back row if needed

...or, as AP said in his interview, a back row who can cover centre.

With Pitts, Bowden,Arundel,Horne, & co we have quit good cover in all positions to me its about the balance of the squad its ok having a good 17 but injuries are a massive part of SL and its having the right players to step up/in.

Arundel gets the nod over Yeaman for me although it's a 50/50 call for me. Horne/DJ/Miller is a tough call and anyone one of the three combinations could work for me. On form we need DJ as his kicking game is vastly superior to the other two. However Horne brings pace, a running game and directness to our play whereas the other two tend to go sideways too much.

It's hard to make these calls without seeing how is training well and how the combinations are working. Some tough choices for Radford.

That would be my choice, I think. I say it every year, but I do think we miss an experienced centre, in the style Hicks was at Warrington, or Carmont. Not seen enough yet of Arundel, Yeaman's struggled of late.

How can you select biggs when he's never played a game of rugby league in his life and wont be at Hull until may?

You do realise it's not the Americas cup don't you?

Chris Hicks? The winger?

As it stands.

Mid-table guaranteed with that squad. Lacking in the forwards, still big question marks over our HBs and a non-existent left side.

WOW CAN'T WAIT!!!!

McDonnell will be out for 6-8 weeks from the start but could miss more....

so they are not better then never bust a tackle netherton or cant make a tackle rhys lovelace or cant hold on to a tackle liam salter???

Heard that, but havent seen it confirmed.

If so Shaul to FB and Crookes on the wing.

Although I don't agree with all of Hull Whitestar comments I can't see us finishing higher than last season, hope I am wrong.

Well i reckon salford will make the top 8 so wonder who will not? it will be interesting cant wait. hope its KR
