See on another website we may have got a very tough first few games. Would we fancy Leeds early doors with their WCC distractions? Personally I don't mind the idea of some difficult fixtures early - see where you're at and theoretically a chance to catch some top teams cold.

Playing Saints away early doors in recent seasons has seen us pick up a couple of useful wins! Not that anyone actually saw much of the first one in fog?

People like to claim to know the fixtures just in order to fill socks.

Like has been said, we will play 27 times, each team twice, except that lot, we get them at a half empty ground a third time.

Challenge cup will be Aug bank hol sat
Good friday Rovers

GF possibly a week earlier? maybe if the RFL want a bash at the WC...........

Are you sure you actually watch the game? You'd rather see Horne than McGoldrick? Goldie offered far more in attack in a handful of games than Horne's offered in 3 years.

I've seen absolutely nothing in Nicklas to suggest he's the next big thing.

Are you sure you can actually read?

Where have I said I would rather see Horne than Mcgoldrick?

Horne is contracted, Mcgoldrick isn't, personally I think both would eb decent backup's, but do we need both of them?

Personally I think that Horne is a better FB than Mcgoldrick, but Mcgoldrick better at halfback as he creates more.

As for Nicklas, I sort of agree, but he hasn't been given that much of a chance, this season is his last chance to prove he can make it at Hull.

Maybe because Mcgoldrick helped us win games and showed much needed determination and aggression..... Things Horne hasnt done for a long time.

I'd play him over Horne anytime!

McGoldrick more determination than Horne? Get away, have you seen how much strapping Horne wears? Most players would cry off with that, but he plays busted every week, if that isn't determination then I don't know what is.

He probably isn't quite good enough for a place in our 17 any more, but there won't be many better second choice full backs in Super League next season.

Its people like you who perpetuate the myth that Horne is a great player. He never has been. The only reason you like him is because he's from Hull. If he was born in Sydney, you'd have wanted him out years ago.

Wahey! Another one who likes to peddle Standee's favourite myth.
