Pritchard seemed to bring a togetherness on and off field which in my opinion was vital as the players fought tooth and nail for each other, I think this alone was worth the money we paid for him. He was probably used wrong on field but his impact at the club was huge.

Watched Tuimavave play all of the few matches he played in the NRL and he never played at fullback. At Newcastle he had competition for the 6 position and was tried for a couple or so games at left centre but was badly exposed defensively which led him to mostly play in the Newcastle NSW Cup team at 6. With that team in 2015 I watched him play in the NRL State Championship final against Ipswich,played before the NRL GF. This was the last match he played in Aus. before coming to Hull.

Don't tell facts
They'll try telling you Carlos is the best centre to ever play nrl next
Our fans are the problem they build the team up to ridiculous expectations and when the team fail to hit them all the termoil starts
we're miles weaker than last season on paper yet we're better apparently
( losing Kelly, Ratu, Ellis and shaul for most the season ) and only signing Reynolds isn't stronger at all

Think people like to look at positives, next season our pivots will be Connor, Reynolds and Sneyd, compared to Shaul, Connor and Sneyd, with the odd game from Kelly. That's a big improvement.
Ellis and Kelly Hardly played, Ratu is a loss, but we have good wing cover.
We have been poorly coached for two years no, with no plan avoiding from power and a kick, if Hodgson can improve this and our mentality then we will be stronger next year.
It isnt just about the players, look at Saints under Holbrook, but you can't see that you just look at players and their reputations, rather than the bigger picture.

Kelly was our best player when he played though no doubt
And Ellis was still better than the likes of matongo and fash
Still think shaul will prove people to be wrong, Connor doesn't have the support play or pace and finishing instinct shaul does
Proved against Wigan when Griffin broke and we didn't have the pace to get that crucial try with no Kelly or shaul
But yeah Hopefully Hodgson will make the difference

Named at Full Back. In fact, he played the last 3 rounds of that year (24, 25 and 26) at Full Back. He came on in Round 23 at Full Back against the Cowboys to replace Kevin Locke at Full Back and scored from that position.
Just saying.
