So even without any injuries to the most physical part of our squad, we have Dowes, Radford and some young kid to scare/smash the opposition?

Are you right in the head?

If Agar is letting two quota forwards go and replacing them with a FB and a hooker, he is robbing Peter to pay Paul and our pack for 2012 will not be anywhere near strong enough.

We only have two decent props this season. If Fitz and Lauaki leave, we need two quality forwards and they'll probably have to be cheap and British!

Agar has replaced a fullback with a fullback, and brought in a top class hooker.

That still leaves us with an overseas place as it stands. That could be the resigning or Lauaki, the resigning of Fitz or a new player - we dont know yet.

Two decent props this season? I take it you've not seen Dowes this season, he's upped his game massively (and he needed to).

Every post of yours is poorly thought out drivvel.

And you are a total co ck !!

Now THAT isn't drivel !!

And BTW, I would personally tackle Dowes all day, every day without a problem and I'm no rugby player.

Get a life PR1CK !

some incredibly grown up debate going on here

Two insults in two posts, no need to get upset :lol

I imagine you're abit like the guy who sits behind me at the KC - no knowledge of the game, tourette sytle outbursts of critisism aimed at our own players, completely unable to see the bigger picture and a completely unrealistic outlook on things Hull FC.

The fact you thought McKinnon is a direct replacement for Fitz/Lauaki speaks volumes.

I'm assuming that was little tongue in cheek but Dowes would flatten 99% of people who dont play rugby without breaking a sweat.

Besides all props dont have to be huge tackle busting machines. I am happy with his Dowes is playing and would be pleased for him to get a new deal.

I'd think about moving Tickle to the front row and possibly using Yeaman in the second row a bit more often. Personally I think we are putting together a very useful squad with plenty of options.

I stood next to David Tangata-Toa once. I reckon if he'd squeezed me in the middle, my head and feet would have burst.


Ewan Dowes would send almost any of us skittling.

Now that i would pay money to view mate... utter drivel but very amusing mate

=#FF0000
I've warned you before about personal abuse, cut it out or else you'll lose your posting rights. You can make a point without resorting to abuse!

That's funny that because I imagine that you're a really brave keyboard warrior who would behave like a two year face to face.

You speak utter $hite everytime you come on here and clearly know nothing.

Now grow up and let the grown-ups talk sensibly about RL.

Oh the irony.

Did you watch the eels this morning too?



He was around 70 tackles, I think.

I would try to convince Fitz to stay for another year if at all possible. He's going to take a hell of a lot of replacing.

Maybe we should put you there, screaming obscenities at the opposition?

Maybe you should grow up ?? Perhaps ?

and you call other people keyboard warriors?

I think he will call it a day myself read Agars comments in the Mail about him knowing what Fitz feels but respects his right to make an announceent when he is ready!

Was interviewed on Humberside. Apart from the fact he didn't say the actual words, he definitely sounds like he's going to me.

Yes, I agree but i think he still has lots to offer and it will take a hell of a player to replace him.

People really need to get a grip on this forum its fast becoming a joke every topic turns into a bitch fest its really getting boring now.

If Lauaki and Fitz leave without being properly replaced and then we re-sign Dowes, I would be very worried about our pack next season.

Dowes has done okay this season when given the chance but "okay" isn't going to see us catching up with Wigan, Wire and Saints.

I know nothing about the two new NRL signings but they are not the top class HB or the big front rower that, IMO, we desperately need.
