Doesnt realy have a point to this thread, but cos im so exited about next season i had to say something.

Personally i think weve got the best pack in the league next year. Great balance of youth and experience. With impact props like O'Meley, Moa and Luauki to punch the holes. And workhorses like Dowes, Yak and Radders. Along with Tickle and Manu as the flair out wide, with Burnett and Fitzgibbon again as workhorses.

CAN'T WAIT!

Its meaner than we've had for years and we needed it to be. I'm confident it can lay a bloody good platform for our exiting young backline to be provided by our international halfbacks.

Whats funny?

Nothing at all. Happy to see such optimism.

I suppose technically what you are saying is correct!

Ah ok, im always optimistic pre-season, that leaves me normally by about round 6.

Factually its spot on, another piece of political magic.

As late as that ? Impressive.

Big question is will it last!!!

no it will be replaced by expectation

Personally I wish people would stop talking up our chances for next season and what our pack will and won't do.

We have been here before, I would rather we were very low key going into 2010 and see what happens.

Bit of positivity can go a long way mate.

Over confidence can be a teams undoing

Who said the team have the same mentality as me? It doesnt do any harm at all for the fans to be excited about our pack and our prospects for next year, the players im sure will have a different mental approach.

I think our pack is the strongest we have had for years and has the ability to take us top 6 minimum. If it underperforms the buck should stop with one man and one man alone.

Me? oh you mean Agar!

We have easily the strongest pack we've had for many years, the best scrum half since Peter Sterling and an exciting pacey backline even though it is a little youthful.

We have the squad so cometh the hour, cometh the man......


Step up Mr Agar your time is up !!!!!!

Or that could be tempered with our pack looks good although some players are potentially past thier best. Our SH oozes class but is also a yard short of pace and is also arguably past his best and the backline has been hit and miss over the last two season and also injury prone.

Maybe somewhere inbetween?

Not saying that, what I mean is I have seen thread on the Rovers board and the VT shouting about Hull's pack etc and I heard all of this last year. Best to stay quietly confident and see what happens.

It looks a very formidable pack ...If used correctly.

And that's the major issue, Agar doesn't have a great track record of that!

He's got no excuses next year.

I dont do staying quiet!!

Really, i'm shocked
