You've got as many "newbies"

And despite getting humiliated by Wigan when it mattered the thing ringing in your ears is the 100% commitment to silverware. A team your lot have rightly ridiculed for finishing 10th won't present any sort of challenge unfortunately.'"
Thanks, i know how many we’ve signed.
I think the stark difference is the clear out vs the replacement of legends. Yours can’t be any worse then the garbage you got rid of, so an obvious improvement. Ours are replacing quality players, so no guarantee of improvement.
Challenging for silverware, which is the aim is a process building for the full season, again like Wigan did after a shaky start. That’s forward thinking. Getting numerous drubbings off your back from the previous season as soon as possible is putting retrospective demons to bed which in my opinion provides a greater level of motivation. Factor in the usual derby discrepancies it’s going to be a tough old game
I still think 1-17 were comfortably stronger and will finish higher, but that first game could well be the defining one for you lot knowing another beating on the back of last season could get the wicked winds of change howling through west hull earlier then ever. Hence why you will win by 10
