Or maybe your wrong about the type of wingers Noble wants at his club?

Face facts, Calderwood is well past his best and Noble can see this, hence why he got rid!

i can only go with players hes actually signed. he may want roberts to play full back?

if hes that past his best how come he had one of his best games a few months ago? from watching him more closely since his siging was first rumoured hes changed his game slightly, he had to tbh, and hopefully it will pay dividends.

if i had so much dislike for a player i'd just sit back and watch his sure to be rubbish displays not witter on about him at every given chance.

id say id largely agree with that, except id perhaps swap Bradford for Warrington, can see them steam rolling a lot of teams with that pack (but ultimately lacking the backs to do well in the playoffs)

cant see Rovers and Hull any higher than 8th at the moment, both are looking very average on paper IMO

you all think you will finish above us again. good luck to you.
hust ask the bookies what they think

oops spelling mistake

What did the bookies think at the start of the last season?

Mark Calderwood or Liam Colbon, I don't think you'll find many neutrals saying Hull have got the worst of the two there. Time will tell, I'm confident about our current international winger though for next season.

Oh, and

If Fielden returns to somewhere neer his old from like he did against Leeds this season, he is miles better than Vella.

I dont rate Coley either but watching him every week he is a very hard working player and good to have in the pack.

Feka has lost weight so will be even better this season as he will stay on longer.

Who is better on the wing than Richards in super league, Donald is the only one who comes close, but Donald cant Kick and is not as good in the air as Richards, and is also not as versitile, Richards is also a decent leader.

Pryce will suprise alot of people, he will be a quality player, just look at him, he is built for it, with a good centre he will not be stopped on the wing.

Phelps is a good utility player, I would rather play some youngsters, but we have him and he does the job, him and Smith will have to show how good they are this season, they came half way through last season, we surley have not seen the best of either of them.

Goulding, is slowly moving towards super league standard, he is a very quick creative player, he will make it.
Ainscough will be a star.

Roberts has signed but has not been anounced, great signing, but dont see the need for him and Phelps, just Roberts would be good and use Goulding and Ainscough as Squad players, Phelps will probably get in before these two which isnt right.

Mathers, improved towards the end of the year and he will get his chance this year, but if he doesnt perform Richards will play there and he is as good as anyone at Full-back, he is better in the air than anyone in the league.

Tomkins will also be a great player.

Yes there are teams with good squads but, we have more strength in deapth than any team outside the top 2. And one of the top 4 starting 13's.
For people on here to say Hull KR will finish above Wigan is just silly, I like the optimism, but its just not going to happen. There are only about 3-4 Hull KR players that could get in the Wigan team.

Reckon Rovers will improve on last seasons seventh position and confident they will do so if they reach a higher level of consistency. Its no good beating the top teams and then failing to put lower sides to the sword.

I see that most punters expect another decent season from Catalans.

I dont think many have said that Wigan will finish lower in the league than Rovers.

Plus I would have 2 out of 3 of our side backs over yours, 1. Briscoe, 2. Fox, 5. Richards.

'If', now thats the big question, has not been in the same league as Vella in the last 2 seasons.

Who will he suprise? He should be a world beater the size of him but he isn't.

GML
Not sure but think he may mean Sam Tompkins, who is a half back, and not Joel as Sam is expected to go on to great things

It is fairly predictable that first and second place will be battled out between Leeds and St Helens.

It is also fairly nailed on that the bottom two spots will be a scrap between Salford and Celtic. This is not a slight on these two clubs but given they have a 3 year safety net both teams have plenty of time to develop their squads to improve over the next two years.

All other placings are up for grabs. There is not that much between the majority of these clubs so I'm expecting the chase for the play-offs to go pretty much down to the last week of the regular season which should make for a good spectacle.

Blinkered. Calderwood has many good years ahead of him, don't let his balding head fool you. He will play alot better for FC where his ability will be put to good use.

Also on the fact th Brian Noble doesn't rate him, why didn't he name him in the GB sides of the past when he was SL top try scorer 2 years running.

In what way?

do you think Rovers will lose any matches then?

i think we could suprise a few people this year

glad to be back hahaha
