If Bowden and Green can step up, and make an impact from the bench, which apart from the occasional game, have not really, need to be consistent at making an impact, not just been steady whilst watts and taylor have a break, could see us signing larroyer and using ellis purely as interchange prop

I thought Green and Bowden showed up really well last season.

Bowden had a good early season then tailed off and Green had an average early season then came strong towards the end
Still would like to see another Super League quality prop at the club.Thompson seems to play better when used as a prop.
Doesnt seem to miss as many tackles when players are running straight at him so maybe he can be the extra stand in front row.

The problem with your backrow is that it has been so good it would be difficult for any player to come in and not be a dissapointment. Lets be honest Mini and Ellis have been the outstanding backrow in the SL for the past couple of seasons. Their impact on the field has been massive but it seems that their professionalism off the pitch also has had an effect.

I agree, he's utter shoite but why would we play him in a friendly if we weren't interested in signing him?

Anyone heard anything about Ellis having a scan on his back today? An alleged injury- hence not playing at the weekend.

According to Radford he will take some part in the game at Doncaster, as will Bowden and Green

Well reported in the Mail today Gaz was out with his back. Guess we'll see if he plays this lat friendly. We'll miss him as we did against Salford. And Pritchard also he kept Fonda in hand.

we do miss ellis but early days and still think there is a lot of over reaction to friendlys, we had a great year last year and am still positive we will this, COYH

It's the authority that Ellis brings. We were bang average at times when he did not play last season and unfortunately, albeit friendlies, it's showing agai. As well as The Tank leaving we may well look unfocused at times and as others have strengthened we cannot afford a sloppy start to the season. Which I'm afraid may well be on the cards.

Glad we aren't signing Larroyer, would be a pointless signing, i'd rather us hold some money back and see what happens.

Doubt Cunningham would come back as he partner has a job down there and he seems settled, think he will end up in SL eventually, we went after O'Brien so we are looking at a hooker, although every time I see Litten, he looks great and could play the odd game this season.

Panic over, signed for Cas.

Classy move by the club and Radford in helping him out .

But but but its all lies and deceit by Pearson Radford and Motu!!!!! According to the resisdent doom monger of this board



For me its a win win situation and something other clubs should look at doing whenever possible.

do explain, who said any of those three told lies over Lorroyer?
crack on.

It's called irony...bit like goldie and bronzey only its made of iron.
Crack on

No, that's not irony at all, do you even understand what irony is/means??
No, what the troll did, is troll, baiting a forum member over something that was untrue with respect to Lorroyer and true with respect to Pearson and Motu Tony from past events with respect to selling and signing players (Specifically Westerman and Lee Smith).
Again, the clubs own words in print and at a public meeting proved that to be the case.

Its quite a smart thing to do as it doesn't cost much and there is one more player talking to others about what a decent lot Hull are which can only help persuade others considering coming here. I very much doubt he'll have many good words about a deceitful, embittered short person at one of his previous clubs! Hull aren't perfect, I'm not sure the Pritchard exit was that smooth and McDonnell and Arundel were a bit gruesome (though neither of them has done much to prove it was wrong performance wise) but generally they have been reasonable and professional. So well done Hull for showing that off the field there's a clear winner in this city as well.

Bit harsh on pritchard, hes not even played an nrl game since leaving and weve only played 1 sl game ha

Ps

To be fair, you might not be talking about pritchard! Red red wine ooops

I don't think he meant Pritchard in that regard, just McDonnell and Arundel.

Correct
