Exactly right I'm sure Newton has Long marked again.

I'd hope Agar will run our big men at Dobson. Theyll have success running over him and also tire him out for when he attacks. Doubt we are that clever though.

Plenty of weaknesses in both teams, wonder which coach will use the best tactics to exploit them, I am pretty sure that I know the answer.

and then tw*t Newton

I have no doubt that this will be fierce to say the least, glad cooke isnt playing though was getting sick of his prescence in derbies

So do i. All i'll say is i'm glad i can turn the TV off if it starts to go their way!!

Nice article on him in the HDM today. He reckons he has the easiest job on the pitch and talked himself into playing on the basis of getting a week off. I'd hope some of the others would be shamed into matching his efforts - great signing: www.sporthull.co.uk/hullfc/news/ ... ticle.html

Mark's lad Jake is impressing at West Hull 10's too!

Very close between, Mark, Criag, Richard and Wills up to yet however were only half way..
Omeley really playing through the pain barrier , true warrior

O'Meeley's ribs are absolutely battered, he has had to play with injections yet he refuses to take a week off and always turns up ready to play. What a signing, an absolute warrior and my player of the season so far.


Take a bow son!!

I completely agree, my poty also.
But we need to be careful about his ribs, he certainly can't play with injections for the rest of the year. We need him toward the end of the year as close to 100% as possible, how long he needs to recover and how it's managed is going to be critical. Without him we're just not going to be the same team.

Think he will get a rest at some stage but whilst the injuries are around he keeps putting his hand up and everytime it looks like he will miss a week he surprises everyone.

The next CC game is soon so that will be another weekend off.

Agree and some posters, said before he came, he's done nothing for 2 years.

Green and gold jumpers dont grow on trees!!

But is the odd weekend off here and there going to do it? Does he need 3-4 weeks? Nobody knows, but rib injuries are pesky little buggers to get rid of and I don't want him causing any lasting damage that could hamper him for the next 2 years of his deal.
I'm probably being OTT, but without him, even with all the talk of our "big" pack I just don't think we would be the same without him.

Great pre-match quip from Ogre

" I cant wait to get to France, to get away from the wife for a bit"

The other week on radio someone won a competition for a voucher for £20 and he said something like ' well done mate oh and they are doubling to to £40', which was news to Hull



A great character.

was outstanding today old marky boy was!! bsolutely outstanding..
but as carachters go it was a certain high profile player who cracked everyone today " Cunny came on and his first hit was a gem, as he peeled away from the tackle thie player was heard to shout "Effin ell Liam , calm down lad you will make us all look a bunch of Counts"
every one fell about

Rest him for cas tho, let him recover. What a great player.

Just watched the highlights and O'Meley was fantastic. A real powerhouse try and some strong hits in defence.

What a superb signing by the club and to think some meatheads were saying he was finished three years ago.

Wher did you see the highlights, on line?

No, Sky Sports showed 40 minutes following highlights of the Salford v Saints game.

how did we look on TV ??interested to know because we looked awesome in real time

Just watched highlights, O'Meley was superb again, Fitz and Longy appeared to be doing most of the directing around the park, just good to see us scoring some decent tries, also Houghton looked the part, great 40/20,

We looked much sharper than in recent weeks, some nicely worked moves and the effort and commitment was there. You can see how much we've missed Long and Fitzgibbon.

Not quite "awesome" but some positive signs
