Two words

Salary and Cap

Bradford, Saints, Hull, Leeds or who ever you wish to name can make £1000,000,000 if they want (and good luck to them) yet they still CANNOT spend more than any other club FACT!! DUe to CAP restrictions.
Lets face it FC and KR after recent results WILL be up there challenging both got results at Bradford (FC's Better i admit) Rovers won at knowesely Road (believe FC were last team to do that before then) and the so called big four all have to play each other yet.
Dont forget KR have already played Leeds, Saints and the Bulls whom all need to play each other yet. Whilst FC still have to play Leeds and Saints after smashing the Bulls.
Which Wigan side will turn up next week is anybodys guess.

Write both Hull teams off at your peril as this could be a great year for both.

Nope sireee..not certaintes at all :roll:


I'm not one to stick up for Vastman gratuitously, but I do reckon he was largely paying you a compliment. By picking on the relatively small caveat he attached to that, you really do yourself no favours. One-eyed, tunnel visioned and with blind spots, the opticians in Hull must be doing a roaring trade. For what it is worth, I, like I'm sure most fans do, expect you will be one of the top 4 if not 3. Certainty though? It can't be banked on, as last year and the sorry tale of certain other bigs clubs shows, so calm down when someone expresses an opinion.

I'm not sure where or what your point is. Unless I misread, he was stating that Hull FC are in a better position than Hull KR, and that FC are not certainties for the top 4, nor are KR (which at this stage of the season, nobody is).

Take that chip off your shoulder

If only we could all have the opening Hull have had.

Awful Wigan, struggle past a new team, a Catalans side slow off the mark, a shoddy Hudds side and an awful Bradford.

Its a decent start but don't get over confident, there will be a lot, lot tougher tests to come soon.

To be honest I'm purely basing that on the fact that Wigan actually have two points and Bradford one. Thus one of those may recover, Warrington I fear for. I certainly don't see all three recovering, I know it's early season a nd it's a marathon not a sprint but there is a lot of ground to make up as you yourselves discovered last year. Not easy.

I think he meant to say that two teams struggling will come in at 78th out of Wigan, Wire and Bradford
