Is it just me or is everyone writing Seymour off in the Rugby League World?

To my knowledge he is a very good player and certainly a better player in the NRL then Dobson who struggled to get a game over there.

Even my fantasy league they have him at the lowest price of 40k



I think he could have a massive season for us but people and especially those outside of FC dont rate him at all, and I find that hard to believe.

What does everyone else think?

I wouldn't let it bother you it's only a paper game ..the kid will show us and them what he can do on the
pitch for Hull FC

If he stays injury free and look after himself off the pitch I really do expect big things from him. He could be a real gem for us. It took some serious quality to keep him out of the Warriors team it should be remembered.

I'm happy he's keeping out of the headlines.

i'd just like to have at least one season where we have a fit no7 playing well every week and not attracting controversy.

Exactly. We've had a 'mare at 7 for years. If he stays fit and behaves himself, that in itself will be a new experience.

If he stays off the booze it may ensure he will delivers on the pitch and makes the headlines for all the right reasons.

That wil be down to the fact he doesnt kick goals and has a terrible scoring record.

Personally I think he will finally be the on pitch coach that we have lacked since Cooke left be it down to injuries or just simply poor recruitment.

The fact Seymour and Heremaia already know each other well is another added bonus.

Yes but there is alot of other ways to score points and the point is how can he be the cheapest seven in the league?
You dont play in a pivotal position like he has for that long in the NRL if you aint good.

I just hope he behaves and keeps focussed on his job and help us try and win stuff in the years to come.

Expecting big things from him. If he stays reasonably clear of injury we might at last see what we have been missing all this time.

Prefer that he's under the radar, we don't need hype.

He's already been announced as starting in the Rovers game (according to Hull FC twitter Ellis will start against York, for the Rovers game Horne@6, Seymour@7, Westerman@13) so he can't be doing too badly in training.

With his pedigree he should be best 7 in the league, not worst

Always surprises me that people let things like this bother them.



Who cares? I'm interested in how he actually plays for us, not what anyone else thinks about him.

Have big hopes for him. To be kept out of the Warriors' first team by Shaun 'Magic' Johnson is no indication that he is a bad player, the kid is a freak. Can't wait to see an actual 7 play with Horney, who is at a good age and can hopefully stay away from injury.

Just seen this: www.loverugbyleague.com/news_688 ... eview.html Explains Seymour is our 'Key Man', and that we'll finish 9th - "Will fight for a play off place with their ‘friendly’ neighbours but expected to just miss out."

Yeah its a Joke we struggled last year and still made the 8 and now we have much better players and cover in most key positions and a caoch who knows what he is doing and they predict us to do worse and finish 9th.

You and me both lol

Will be more the sweeter when we finish higher then that and then he can ram it where the sun dont shine

to be fair, the previews for most clubs look like they've been written in crayon by a 6 year old.

until we're 8 games in then nobody can predict anything.

I'm curious as to who they have 7th if they reckon it's us v Rovers for 8th & 9th. Probably Bradford or Cas, but I don't see why, both of those look to have weaker squads than the 2 Hull teams IMO.

It just baffles me, our pack is good and is alot better now we have Lynch leading them who wil be very valuable now that the interchanges have been reduced. Proper halfs and backup and the squad is alot stronger then last year but they think we will be worse

Personally, slightly concerned about props, but everything else should be ok.

anybody really bothered what people think?

Lynch, Moa, O'Meley and O'Carroll

doesn't worry me

Plus also a couple of youngster hopefully breaking through.
