You would go well in politics Dave. If you need a king of spin to work alongside you I think I know just the man....

Imagine that, Big Dave T with RBA acting as his Alistair Campbell in number 10 downing st. The country's doomed!!

I have yet to see anyone polish a turd as well as that man though Dave.

(Not Alistair Campbell I mean RBA)

Was clearly rubbish and need of inspiration whilst at FC. Luckily for Scott he landed on his feet at club with a superior coaching and back room team and is now a fabulous young prop.

Demonstrated my point perfectly thanks.

Not big enough, not good enough, wears his heart on his sleeve and gives his all.

He was only ever going to be average in B&W and he's no different in R&W.

I couldn't disagree more. He's been our most consistent prop this year and has often put some of our more senior players to shame with his performances. There's room for improvement, as with all players, but time is on his side and I can see him being a really important player for us in the coming years.

I have seen enough of Wheeldon over the last few seasons (including this one) and although he is still young and could improve, he just isn't big enough or good enough to be any more than an average SL forward.

To be fair, comparing him to your other props isn't really a good guide because front row is probably the weakest area of your squad. That isn't a dig of any kind because you have some obvious stand-out players in your squad but, Vella apart, your front row is quite average.

Wonder where we would finish if we signed two top props, or better still a top hooker as well.

I can just see us marching out on election night after our victory with the M-people blasting out !
Will have to wait a few months though Dave coz i'm doing some consultancy work for David Mills at the minute.

Are you using the strap line that you told me you were worried Adam was going to say to him?

Wonder where you'll finish in 2010 if you DON'T sign two top props and a hooker ???

6th to 8th probably, maybe maintain 2009 position if we get some quality in at prop and hooker.

Above you. Oh hang on Mr Offiah has spouted which has been jumped on and been believed or hoped for by the faithful

Wonder why Offiah said that when you are clearly the future of SL in Hull.

Like that idiot has a clue!





When will he realise the posh accent doesn't fool anyone.

Offiah dares to predict Hull may finish above the mighty HKR and he is branded an idiot, didn't see that one coming.

And lo, Offiah is the oracle of predictions ( which is currently running at 7 pages on the FC site). Predictions are just that. This time next year you may be calling him a dimwit. And thankyou for telling us something we already know.

I think it's fair to say we are going to be better than last year, how much better is anyone's guess. Can you say the same?

TBF to our red and white friends, what Offiah is predicting is highly unlikely. Plus it would be unthinkable after 2 years of them crowing that the tide has turned forever for us to go from 12th to finishing even close to KR. The only thing I'm relatively confident about is that we won't win the Fair Play award in 2010.

Well, we can be worse. Can you?

Better would be breaking into the top 2. Then again we could be worse, Can you?

I think you will be around the same level next year but it won't get you 4th, probably mid table.
