Mine 17 would look like this, but when it comes to some games, its horses for courses imo

I agree, we lack pace but it's hardly surprising that radford is more inclined towards bigger, stronger players than smaller, quicker ones. If we end up with a 3/4 line of lineham, yeaman, sa and talanoa it will be painfully slow. I think talanoa showed many times last season he isn't a natural winger

whitings getting a bit like an old book you discover in the attic hidden away, forgotten, and uncared about. he could well go out on loan at some point

Does anyone know how Naughton is defensively......he sounds fast and good with ball in hand like Shaul but Shauls defence is suspect at times.

I see Arundel has now been given squad number 33.

He sounds fast? Does he break the sound barrier or something?

When did this get announced?

[url=http://www.hullfc.com/first-team/squadWell, he's in the club website squad.[/url

I can't imagine it being headlines on the 10 o'clock news.

I've got no issue whatsoever with Arundel being in the squad. Is he on too much money? Probably. But he's not a bad player and if we have to pay him off anyway and aren't planning to spend the cap elsewhere then we may aswell make use of him.

Arundel is a contracted player so needs a squad number. We don't want him claiming the club is in breach of contract by trying to freeze him out. It doesn't mean he will play.

If it was a choice for the starting centre spot between arundel and yeaman , who would everyone prefer? It's close, but I think yeaman would just get the nod from me

Our starting centres should be Sa and Miichaels with Yeaman and Logan as back up. If Arundel plays even one game he would count on the cap and I don't think we've planned for that.

I'll have a little bet that Yeaman starts the season.

Arundel hasn't gone to Portugal, he was our representative for RFL SL opening today though.

Hope Sa has a good season, hopefully injury free. Could be a key player for us, obvious quality and Radford sees him as right centre www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull-FC- ... story.html

Smales said on Twitter that Cunningham is the current interchange hooker. Bit surprised at that based on how little he was used when he came back last year.

We had azza n another offseason is a long time for a young un. Not to suprising

Think he deserves a go. Let's see how he goes

I dont think the backline is as cut and dried as some people think.

There is no way did we bring Michaels half way across the world not to play but by all accounts Sa is nailed on at centre then where does he play?

Lineham and Talanoa you would think will have the wings spots to start with.

Playing for places in pre-season.

I can't see Yeaman forcing his way in now.

Just as well, he's coasted there for years with little competition.

You would think not would't you?

How come no Pryce?

Wow, and you slate Radford as a coach.

No Pryce in there and you pick Steve Michaels at full back who never started in that position in 120 NRL games.
