You make it sound wildly away from reality.

With our current squad around 8th is a reasonable bet; we were 9th last time round and the squad has improved, imo - so why so disparaging? The real problem for us is that the squad we have now might not be carried into the season proper and then mid table might look a much longer hope than it does now.

Just curious, is this from the same twitter source that you used to announce on the wakey forum that Liam Finn had signed for Wakey the week before he signed for Cas?

You can't question the unwashed , they'll get you banned from the boards. I did like the Liam Finn comment though . He went from a potential superstar to an over the hill nobody just by signing for Cas

Sorry but are we looking at the same two groups of players?
Bulls are stronger in the props, second row, outside backs and at full back for sure and there's a strong debate for the rest of the park.
Lynch is past his best. Liam Who?? Luke Dorn has jumped out of the frying pan and into another frying pan as far as playing in a winning team goes and Weller Hauraki has one good year followed by a bad one (he played well last year BTW).
I could go on, but there's no chance the current Bulls side finishes below Cas.

Nothus is a Bulls fan. His comments were aimed at the Wakey...visitor.

I think Hull are slightly better off this season that the last few because we have got better cover in all positions than we have had for a while.

Where you finish in the league depends on your second 17 players not your first 17 as injuries always bite and play havoc, the Top 4 teams seem to replace injured players and is doesnt effect them as much we lose a Top player and we notice.

Saying that Hull have got 7 new players for this season and we would like to think it will improve us but who knows, pretty sure we will finish in the Top 8 though.
