Imagine if the ref hadn't of kept you in it, who knows what might have happened.

In all honesty a great result for Rovers, just a bit hard to swallow. I expect both Hull and Rovers to reach the play offs and I'm hopefull Hull will make the derbys a bit more intersting this year (been out enthused by a long way in previous meetings).

If the signing of Crocker does finally happen, and with the signing of Luauki playing at prop. What do people think of Hulls pack this season? Cusack is playing the best he has for Hull, Dowes and Radders both seem faster and stronger.

So with a pack and bench like this, How does it compare to other teams packs such as Leeds and Bradford?

Dowes - More often than not will play 70 minutes.
Berrigan - Enough said.
Cusack - Another who will easily play 50-60 minutes, and will garantee you a quick PTB and solid defence.
Tickle - Having a great start to the season, also top try scorer in the league?
Crocker - One of the best forwards in the world.
Radders/Washbrook - Both solid players, Washy who has a great future ahead of him.

Bench...

Manu.
Luauki.
Thackray.
Houghton.

Name me another SL team with an impact bench as good as that.

Without a doubt the majority of people will say that it is an average pack and bench. So compare your teams to the above.......

Jerome Guisset, Casey McGuire, David Ferriol
Dane Carlaw, Jason Croker
Gregory Mounis

Bench:
Jamal Fakir
Olivier Elima,
Jason Ryles,
Cyrille Gossard
Remy Casty


Which pack is better than that?

jesus,only a moron would deny hulls injury problems last season wouldnt affect them.half backs win games n 4 half hulls games last season hull didnt have any.most teams could at least rely on a 6 or 7 last season,hull more often then not didnt have either.we did poop but it wasnt without circumstance,n we still reached a final.to get back to the thread,its a pack most teams would be more then happy with.come on you hull

ours! (hull fc)

strength in depth, injured or not

I'm leaving out Crocker as IMO it's not happening:



Dowes V Fozzard
Berrigan V Fisher
Cusack V Vella
Tickle V Newton Tough one to call IMO
Radders V Galea offers much more with ball in hand
Washbrook V Murrell too close to call i'd say.
