Good game to blow cobwebs away. Tommy G my M.O.M today, think we got the makings of a succesful team and once they gel we will be a real force. Ryan had a good game but needs to offload at times ( i know he can see a gap n go but several times today he should of passed). New signings: coyle - he will get more confidence and a great addition, Finnigan - did well and another good addition, aspinwall - think he can rip this league up , penky - Quality niggling halfback that can dominate play. Now i know Rowe aint a new signing but seems to of lost some bulk whilst with the pies. And lastly Ryan duffy now not to be disrespectful but he is a big un, not a player for this league. He looked sluggish and spent most of game pulling his shirt down. I dont think he will see much game time.



All in all looking forward to the season ahead

Hype?....please explain?



I take it after seeing him play for all of 20 mins you reached your conclusion.......well done.

I'm not knocking Ryan Duffy, I don't even think he is a bad signing as there is obviously potential in him.



Based on what I have seen today I don't think he is ready for the first team just yet. I would put Parker, Hopkins, Ostick and Spencer (if he signs) all before him [iat the moment.[/i



Does anyone on here disagree with that?

Sounds about reet to me. Even more so when you consider that Hull used Aspinwall at prop quite often last season so that's another option in the front row. Certainly potential in the lad though and I'm sure he'll progress as the season goes on.

No but should we get Spencer as well we will have very good prop interchanges

I take it no one saw Ryan Duffy take the ball on our 20 in the second half and completely cleaned the Wigan No8 out who tried to tackle him. The lad did ok today for his first run out.
