Well i am stunned as i thought the first person to quote me would say about no Horne

Tansey
Calderwood
Briscoe
Yeaman
Raynor
Horne
Long
Cusack
Berrigan
O'Meley
Fitzgibbon
Burnett
Washbrook

Lauaki
Manu
Houghton
Moa

May be tempted to put Berro at half back and Lee to hooker. I just don't think Hornes creative enough, hopefully Long will take some pressure off him.

Tansey at FB may surprise a few people with his creativity too.

Looks good to me. Possibly swap Manu and Burnett, and Briscoe has to prove himself at centre, but it looks a strong team containing a bit of everything.

Be a horses for courses call in my eyes.

TBH with Briscoe, Calderwood,Raynor pressure on them all because 2 in to 3 doesn't go

Yeamo will have to be on his toes with Turner coming in and also briscoe been able to play in the centres along with Tansey no one a certain starter which should bring the best out of everyone

IMO the squad being assembled for next season could be one of the best we have had for a number of years. All we need now is to rid ourselves of the injury curse and we'll be up there with a shout.

I hope one of the other players to come in is a 6. Not sure Rooney or R Horne are the right people for that shirt though.

Agreed, would like to see Whiting given a run in a pivotal role with Horne/Rooney as back up.

Was interesting to see that when he came on v Leeds at FB he went straight in to first receiver a couple of times and started to give us some real width with his passing. Has a better passing and kicking game than R Horne for me.

Also drew defenders to him before offloading therefore creating gaps - Yeaman's bombed pass to Broughton came off one such example. I am sure given the opportunity Whiting could be a very similar player to Crooke in attack. He has never been given that opportunity unfortunately.

Horne is costing us too much to sit in the stands for a season.

my team

Tansey /R Horne
Calderwood
Yeaman
Hall/Briscoe/Turner
Raynor
R.Horne /Rooney
Long
O'Meley
Berrigan
Cusack
Burnett
Fitzgibbon
Washbrook

Lee
Moa
Manu
Lauaki

Sounds like the reason paul cooke has been in the dobbins team for the last 2 years

Id go with that maybe with the execption of Horne given a run at FB instead of Tansey to start with, apart from that I would love to see that side start the season.

Although Im pretty sure Agar has in mind Fitz at 13, Long 7, Horne 6 and Berrigan 9, I just cant see him moving away fom this and I also expect there to be a place in the side for Radford, with there been no real top drawer centres available I would like to see us go with either Briscoe or Hall but I think Turner is earmarked for the other centre position.

That's almost the team I would pick, I do have reservation about Briscoe in the centres, he could be struggle in defence for a while while he gets used to that position and we don't know how good a user of the ball he would be but he needs to be given a shot there. However there is no way Horne won't be in the side and I would move him to centre and faze Briscoe in gradually.

I'd go with:

Tansey

Calderwood
Horne
Yeaman
Raynor

Berrigan
Long

Cusack
Lee
O'Meley
Fitzgibbon
Washbrook
Whiting

Lauaki
Manu
Moa
Houghton

Tansey

Calderwood
Horne
Yeaman
Raynor

Berrigan
Long

Cusack
Lee
O'Meley
Burnett
Fitzgibbon
Washbrook/Whiting

Lauaki
Moa
Manu
Houghton

From what I have been told one of the main reason Turner is going to you,is because he is fed up with being played out of position, He is first and foremost a 6, and also plays 13 but doesn't like being played in the centre's, he has only played there because last season we had Reid and Jimenez leave before the opening of our season, so he slotted into the centre and became a victim of the of his own success, and again this year, we have had injuries to Talau and White so again slotted into Centre, Plus that coupled with the success of Our halves and Swain at Lock he cannot get a look in those positions, Which is a shame because he will be a Good Young Super League player

And how accurate is the Lee to Salford rumour ?

And how accurate is the Lee to Salford rumour ?

anyone's guess!!he has defo improved this year but his defence is better than his attacking,which for me,shows why most hull fans prefer houghton.he is ooc at the end of this season and i would have thought mccrae knows quite a bit about him.as for turner,apart from the odd rumour,nothing has been really mentioned,so you lot at your end will have more info about his status for next season,so..............?

I cant see Turner being first choice 6 or 13 at Hull.

I would imagine tht Turner is moving to Hull as he wants to play a for club that has more chance of winning things and being succesful.

Yes!

tansey is a centre hes only played about 5 games at full back
we nned a fullback or move horne and get a 6

Tansey has played quite abit at fb for Leeds, and a handful of games at Sydney.

I'd say he is more than comfortable at fb.

Tansey never once in three years started at centre for Leeds he played fullback, wing, Stand off, LF or off the bench where he mainly covered hooker.
