just trying to judge where you all think were at. hull fans are often accused of expecting too much but in recent years out pride has taken a knock so really don't know what to expect from the poll

Thought this was going to be a harry potter thread

The dobbins will be along pressing 1st of course



So they can then claim we are getting carried away, so predictable

I have gone for 6th and i think that is acceptable and would have taken it at the start of the season.

I am delighted with our start and a change in our mental toughness as well as the introduction of young players to the first team and the emergence of confidence in players like Sharp and Turner under the new set up.

We do have a thinish squad though and a tough run of fixtures so whilst I am delighted with our current position I expect us to slide down as the season progresses to a more realistic position.

I am not to fussed by this though as I have seen enough to know that after the last few years of going nowhere/backwards we are definitely going in the right direction now and challenging consistently for trophies will happen under this regime.

No idea about potions though

I said 6th. I think we'll have some fun along the way though and a play off win.

I would expect a further improvement in 2013 when we should be looking at the top four and a serious tilt at Old Trafford.

whoops.... lol

normally id agree but ive i feeling there well be very few dobbins can quite face rugby forums today

I said 6th, but think that we could manage 5th, or even 4th if we improve. 6th will do me this season, anything more than that would be excellent.

I've gone for 5th as we have not been brilliant, yet we are coming away with good wins.

If your still in top 2 after your next 5 games I will press 1/2. These polls are only semi-accurate when you've played everyone.

Troll fodder threads like these.

I've gone for 3rd we still have a game in hand and still not the finished article yet, I would be happy with 5th though.

I'd prefer to judge after the Easter weekend. I'd be happy with 6th, but if results go our way in the next few weeks top4 isn't out of the question.

That would be very impressive but highly unlikely. Our lack of cover in the pack is the one big thing that will cost us this season. We will gradually drop down to a more realistic place in SL and I've said 7th.

2013 is the massive year for our club and getting the recruitment/retention right could see us as genuine challengers under this regime.

Which four out of Warrington, Saints, Leeds, Catalans, Huddersfield and Wigan do you think we'll finish above?

Start of the season I said 6th but gunna go for 5th because of the good start but the positives of the youngsters will hold us in good stead for the up and coming seasons. Just shows what a good coach can get out of a team our defence has been solid.

Right come on own up...Who pressed 1st ?


Told ya' the dobbins would be along

I've always thought 5th would be good, with 6th being acceptable. I'd be a bit disappointed with lower than that.

I would go along with that for this season with the start we've made.

Ive gone for 5th....and i'll be over the moon with it

Stick with my original prediction of 6th.

Gone for 6th which will be fine for season #1 under Gentle. Any higher and it is a bonus, any lower and it is disappointing.

Had 6 at beginning of year, but chosen 5th after our positive start.

6th and hopefully pull of a hull stingrays style shock in the play offs!!

Also gone 6th.

Loss of 4 starting forwards will do damage, Pitts a help but if we lose one of our remaining regulars then we are done for............

Still happy though, was always a transition season, we are playing much better and finally have a youth policy.
