Proven how exactly? It'll help massively, it might even cure all your ills, but we don't know that yet. Hull will be much better this year, you can be pretty confident of that. 6th would be very satisfactory, 4th brilliant and not unrealistic. 2nd I think, while acknowledging it isn't impossible, is at the far end of the optimism spectrum.

can you remember when we finished 2nd and the next year and teh year after that we were tipped all over as these so called "dark horses" and where did we finish......down the bottom somewhere!! but having watched them in pre season training i dont see why we cant start where we left off in 2006!!
bradford seem to me as if they have a good half back partnership (but remember no deacon now) but why did sam burgess jump ship?? must not think there capable of winning??
It could happen that you finish 2nd, will it actually happen? No.
It's going to take a while for everyone to fit together and Agar has yet to prove that he can successfuly run a squad at this level.
Is Long going to happy with what Agar's previous game plan has been, which is five drives and a kick? Admittedly, the kick will have more quality it in it.
Deacon hasn't been the same player since Vagana pulled his face off in the Tri-Nations, (which was a shame because he was having his best game in a GB shirt at the time) and if Russell Crowe came round your gaff as a twenty year old (or however old Sam Birgess is) and said; "How's about coming over to Australia and becoming a superstar in my footy team, or would you rather stay here playing your football in the permanent Winter of Odsal?" What would you say?
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

well it would depend on if it would better me cause souths rnt really setting the NRL on fire are they (thats if you keep up to date with it all) well like i said we will all see thats what my thoughts are on what the league will look like!! and i will strike a deal with you both!! if hull fc do finish 2nd i would like an apoligy basically for saying my knowledge of the game is tripe!! if you do well i will apoligise to you for saying i think you have a weaker team then ever!! and as to my sig who knows longy might like it in hull and be black and white through and through (at the end of the day its a chant thats all)

Richard Horne supported KR..however he plays well in a B&W shirt Paul Cooke..also did well in a B&W shirt Rooney..Everton fan does well in a Man Utd shirt
Is Long really B&W, who cares but he will do what all sportsman do, his job

You will find that I've already qualified my post by saying that if things happen differently to how I say, the rules all change.

What odds would you want today on Hull FC finishing in the Top 2 in the league? Genuine (hypothetical) question.
I'd want at least 12-1 for Rovers. 20-1 I'd take.

I'd want 25-1 for either rovers or Hull in the top 2, neither team has any strong chance of the top 2 IMO.
