Too right, we can't be waiting till 2525.

That’ll be how long rovers fans will be waiting to win a trophy.

Kane Evans was at training today.

Hopefully lovodua won't be too far behind

Looks in good nick.

anyone else find per season just an anti climax ?

some of the performances at the end of last season were a total let down and Radford like

i’d rather hear nothing and just wait for the performances to walk the walk

Me too, It's just a cut and paste from the last 10 years with the names changed, we soon be getting the 'places up for grabs' pieces when in reality Hodgson will know at least 16 of his 17 for the 1st league game barring injuries. I know they have to fill columns but can't they be a bit more imaginative.
A meaningful Q&A with one of the new signings each week from both clubs, Or an in depth run down of what work they are doing in training on a certain day would be a start.

How can pre-season be an aniti-climax?

Tag is looking very trim - reckon he's gonna have a great season!

Lovodua is here.

Anyone know when Cator will be back? Guessing he'll miss the start of the season

.... 3 months after Griffin starts full training is my guess.

Anyone seen Bowden training ?

There are pictures of Hulls pre season online which show Bowden is involved.

Thanks, great news l like Bowden

So do I, if the year was 2016

Departure gate at SYD, en route to Hull with his partner. Looks trim.

Massive season for Josh Could be his swansong

very happy they’re looking at Shaul on the wing

i’ve written at least twice about this in last 2-3 years

Is Jamie’s defence good enough to play on the wing?High kicks to the corners could be a problem

Look at the tries FC conceded in 16-19 and you’ll Jamie was basically ineffective and not fit for purpose as a defender

not hard to see then you watch

try and remember one amazing tackle he made to save a certain fry

add to that the terrible
concussion he had - i feel so bad for players with concussion

he could certainly hide on the wing defensively and would be great under a high ball and coming in to scoot etc

great idea and may help him
continue his career and not get another terrible concussion

I think Shaul will be a good back up winger, but never first choice in front of Mac and Swift, both of whom have also played at full back at some point in their careers and I doubt at 29 that Shaul will be happy with that, who knows?
This season really doesn't excite me, yet, I feel as though, with the current squad, we can only hope to finish 5th or 6th at the very highest and I am struggling to get enthused at that prospect, but I will doubtless get more enthusiastic as we approach the first round of SL, and to be honest, with covid and other issues, we are lucky to still have a club to support, as if this season gets disrupted badly and fans are barred from attending, there'll be a few clubs who will struggle to survive, so lets hope that we can get through relatively unscathed and build the game back up from that.
I think Saints, Cats and Leeds will be the teams to beat and then it could be a toss up from the rest of the division as to who finishes where, so injuries will be crucial and that is where I am most fearful, but if our luck does hold, with Reynolds and Gale in particular, we may exceed expectations, even mine!

I get what your saying as the past few seasons have been very disappointing for a number of reasons especially considering the money AP spent on the team. However for me ever since the successes of 2016 & 2017 we never kicked on and really the cup wins papered over the issues.

For me this season I have no real expectations for the team but feel fairly optimistic that the club at least made changes that were needed. If Gale and Reynolds stay fit for the majority of the season then I think we have a very good chance of doing well. Even if they miss a few I still think we will be better than last season but then cant really be any worse.

I think we have a more balanced squad and at least have some pace on the edges and in general. With Satae, Sao, Taylor, Evans, Brown and Bowden we should certainly have a pack that is capable of gaining metres and providing our halfbacks the platform to create. I'm also hopeful that with Gale in the squad we can finally get the best out of Mau. I think Lovodua will make a difference for us down the middle and give teams something else to think about which has been an issue that we have been far too predictable in the past.


Roll on the start of the season.

I agree Chris.

Moving out Sneyd and bringing in Gayle and Lovodua certainly fills me with optimism that Brett is trying to alter our attacking structure and make us less predictable.
So excited for the start of the season and just hope my renewed optimism does not result in the usual false dawns we seem to suffer from.
