It's fair to say that Rovers attacking options are a far more collective effort than most SL teams but I'm sure that's a concious decision by Justin Morgan to recruit players like Galea and play a ball-player at loose-forward instead of an extra prop.

I suppose the above is why Paul Cooke gets a lot of unnecessary stick by people from outside our club because it's practically impossible to contribute 83% of tries (like he did @ Hull over 4 seasons) because of the inevitable input from the likes of Dobson, Murrell, Galea and co.

Can't believe people are saying Hull have a 'massive' pack. Arguably the smallest in SL. Dowes, Cussack aren't particular;y big for props and Kng and Thackerey are small for props. Hull are winning games thanks to a superb team ethic and very good discipine. They got on top of Hudds early and set the tome for the match. Also Berrigan is one of the best imports SL has seen, him being fit this season and playing in his correct postion is a massive boost to the game.

Berrigan is the best hooker in the league, not like many on here will agree. :lol:

thats a big statement when an ex australian captain plays for leeds, KC might be a bit slower than in his prime but he is playing some of his best rugby of his career, and the england hooker is on our bench, i suspect a troll

Why is it ?

Berrigan has played on some of the highest stages in Rugby League. For me he's the best hooker in the league, everything about his game is fantastic.

Has my idea of us waltzing quietly into 2nd headed into (Gateshead Thunder) Shark infested waters?


Disagree with that. We have one of the if not the smallest packs in the league. Fair enough Sam Moa and Hame luauki are really well built players. But apart from that the pack is really small.

When will we see Hull finish top of the table?

Centres I mean the likes of Gidley, Webster, Walker etc. who can throw accurate passes whilst in the process of being a tackled.


Front-rowers I mean ball-players though I they're probably a dying breed now anyway.


Not trolling or causing a FC - KR debate but I don't see these two as players who are up there with the best in the league in doing such feats. Players like Gleeson, Gidley, Hall, Mogg & Bell yes but not those. Also Webster is a winger been played at centre.
