Are you suggesting in a combined Hull/Saints team there'd be 8 Hull starters and 5 from Saints?
Again without trolling i think only a fully fit Kelly and maybe Sneyd would get in Saints starting 13

connor would get in a saints side.

My point is they're not better players, merely that they're playing better consistently which imo is down to coaching. Saints have plenty of players I wouldn't want at hull but theyre playing well right now

Saints are miles better than Hull in every aspect. Delusional to think FC are anywhere near as good as them. They stuck 60 on Hull just recently after resting many players which says it all.

FC fans are overrating their squad yet again. It's an upper mid-table side (at best) not one which should be in the top two.

Well "upper mid-table" in a twelve team league would get you into the play-offs and then in one off games who knows. Cas were "miles better" than anyone else in 2017 and Saints were "miles better" than anyone in 2018 but neither ended up champions.

They will this year

That's it, you've just got to keep yourself in the race, then it comes down to who has the best finish.

Not necessarily. They will, at some point lose a game, or two. If that happens in the CC or the play offs, then, They won't this year.

Ahead of Coote, Naiqama, Percival or Lomax?

You would find a place for him, probably but Naiqama in the wing instead of Grace.

Also could play Connor and Lomax, as he is better than your other two halfbacks.

Shows what a great side you have, got to win something this year.
