That's all on the one thread now - just avoid it


"Win trophies" is a bit much, but it is a signing good enough to get people excited isn't it?


What are you doing next season? You seem to score a lot more than Nero . . .

Some posters need to reread this thread, and learn in future to take head out of botty before posting.

Indeed. For example


Our big issue so far this season has been we are so very far from having good halves, and the Hull game, - where Thorman and to a lesser extent Horne were the difference between winning and losing illustrated this perfectly. TBF Jeffries played a lot better and hopefully his form will continue to improve. Deacon however has started 2009 off in a terrible fashion and while he wasn't as bad as at Wigan (he couldn't be) he was still in comparison utterly anonymous.

. Easily as good a pack as any in the league. Not even an arguable point.


Platt - whatever he is, and he polarizes opinions - is certainly not pish poor, just prone to brainstorms. Tadulala is a very decent, pacy, hard working winger who runs the ball in hard, is not lazy, defensively he is sound, and has a good record in SL. Sheriffe so far does look way off the pace, I would agree, but that's just one of the backs, unless you think Halley is pish poor I say your statement is at least 75% inaccurate.


Well, yadda yadda, but for that let's stick with any one of the 783 other McNamara threads.

I think you have one of the strongest packs in the league, but out of interest how do you think the Hull pack looked yesterday? Did we match, beat, or fall short of yours??

Will it surpass your pack when lauaki and hopefully crocker come into the side?

And you wonder why you are struggling?

We had this argument on page one. You do not have a strong pack, you have good names on paper. And Tadulala is not a very decent winger. Platt is pish poor, certainly no worse fullback in super league.

Twenty-three tries in a struggling side last year would suggest otherwise but don't let facts get in the way of a good opportunity to talk b.ll.cks.

I thought the contest between the packs was a good one. On the day, I'd say Hull's pack came out marginally on top, but honours were pretty even, although Hull's pack was playing with more and more confidence as the game wore on.

We also had Lynch returning from injury so he was nowhere near full match fitness, Langley returning from injury. Crocker won't get in unless he signs for Catalans. In answer to Lauaki, we have Solomona to return at some point (how we could have done with one of his match-breaking specials on Sunday) and so yes, I reckon as a unit we do have the best pack, but Hull are putting together a very strong and skilful pack too and more to the point they work well together.

Thanks for your reply!!

And FWIW, i think Crocker will be here soon!

Well, after the Bird debacle, nothing . . . absoluetly NOTHING . . . would surprise me about the Border "Agency".

I think the difference is that Bird is currently involved with the trial process whereas Crocker was fined approx £90 for affray, and applied online without all the testimonies from MP's, Melbourne, and Hull FC's plans for him in the local community

Fingers Crossed Though!
