TMFMISL has not featured so far as he is still not 100% from his surgery in the close season.

Whether he can convince Brian McD is another matter, as I know he is looking forward to having a word with a certain cheap shot merchant........



Leeds by 3 clear scores.....all in the last 20 minutes or so!

hull to win 28 16
att- 15,783
first try scorer - yeamo
mom- moa

Started speaking to himself has he? Bad sign that.

The bar will be raised (a bit), nowt to worry about IMO.

And there was me thinking he never got involved in that sort of stuff (on the basis that as TMFMISL no one dare go near him)



Unless we wake up and manage to put in a performance for 80 mins+, this will be Leeds by a lot. I am going to ask Mrs B for tips on setting up a quote index for ICECREAMMANs gems especially the one about Agar earlier.

fill thou boots

Hopefully more determined than they were to avenge our playoff defeat.

That's a bit harsh Kosh, they looked very determined for about 10 minutes or so. Surely you're not expecting an 80 minute performance.

"with the snow and only two pre-season games, we're a bit underdone".....

Tried not to be too critical after just one game but have found it hard the last couple of days. One thing i was hoping for from Sundays game was to see some signs that we are going in the right direction, unfortunately I really didn't see to many signs of that.
It will be interesting to see how we fare against Leeds who were also below par this week. If we can up our intensity and stay focussed for the full game then we are definitely in with a shout. The fact that the KC pitch is open to the elements will benefit us more as it is no coincidence we fare better on heavier pitches and struggle as the grounds dry up.
The fact Agar has never beaten Leeds doesn't fill me with hope for friday either.

There once was a time Leeds hardly won in Hull..How times change eh.

Horne likely to miss rhino's game but Radders fit to play

Horney unlikely to play this week, Radford should play: news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 398277.stm? Saw Radders in training this morning, was having 1-to-1 conditioning with a coach but seemed to be running and doing all the drills fine.

according to hull daily wail, Obst hopes to train with the boys this week but " red tape" could prevent him making his debut Friday

So it could be Friday morning then

...If so his name will go in the hat to decide where he plays no doubt

wouldnt surprise me at all if we see him on the bench

You've gone too far now, that would mean we start with our £100k + signing

1.whiting
2.sharp
3.manu
4.yeamen
5.briscoe
6.turner
7.long
8.omeley
9.houghton
10.radders
11.tickle
12.westerman
13.fitzgibbon
subs
14.lauaki
15.moa
16.washbrook
17.dowes but hopefully obst

Washy and Obst.....? Don't know massively the setup on Hull but wouldn't you have Dowes on the bench with Radford maybe not being 100% fit.

Lauaki/Moa/Fitz can all play prop if they need to so there is plenty of scope to change things around if the need arises.

Radford won't play. Fitz moves up to 2nd row Westerman off Washbrook lock.

well it seems as though radders is fine and not as bad as first feared and with omeley,radders,lauaki and moa theres no reason for dowes to play or we might have a situation were lauaki gets 20 mins again and obviously id have obst on the bench to rotate with houghton and could put him in the halves to see how he goes
