| [quote="Theeaststander1":296kbtuq]It baffles me why Hull FC churn out articles every year during pre-season, especially with quotes like that. Just let the action do the talking.[/quote:296kbtuq]
If we just let the action do the talking there’d be no journalism and you’d have only the games to complain about.
Any articles on rugby league are publicity. On that subject, and I think it’s been said elsewhere, our game lack marketable personalities eg the bad boys like we had in the 90s and naughtiest - Barrie Mac, Adrian Morley, further back Andy Gregory etc.Because the game has clamped down on head tackles which I understand and red cards for throwing punches it loses some of its appeal. I think that a retaliatory punch should perhaps be treated with some leniency depending on circumstances.
Aside I still think that quality RL is the best team sport. See state of origin!

I found this an interesting read particularly about the ability now for other clubs to approach players contacted for this season after 1st December and the fact that some clubs will hear players are leaving and say "Just go then if you don't want to play for us" I expect that will eventually be the case for at least one young player at our club but only time will tell. There will be a lot of movement in the next couple of months across the game as things become more clear with clubs approaching players with less than a year left on their contracts and it will be interesting to see which clubs retain those players and which ones say well If you don't want to play for us then 'Bugger" off!

Out of all the young players who the December 1st tamper deadline would be applicable with there’s only really Barron not signed up yet who I’d lose sleep over, and I think the indication is that a new deal for him will happen sooner or later anyways. The others on the list have potential but agree if they don’t want to be here/commit maybe best to move them on early.

I'd be shocked if Rapana plays on the wing at the start of the season, particularly with the wingers we have

| Always thought they might fancy Rapana at centre, if they started the first game with a backline of Moy, Martin, Rapana, Hardaker and Barron that would certainly address any concerns about pace.
Depends on how much emphasis Cartwright has on making meters from kick returns and out of back field. I think it will be a big thing and possibly why Barron has the 2 shirt as he looked really strong out of dummy half. With that in mind still think he’ll want Rapana to start at 1 and Briscoe on the field maybe over Martin. Even with a decent rub of the green with injuries it’s unlikely we’ll often have the first choice 17 available so good to have options.
