Thoughts on Kibula? We (Bradford) have just signed him from you guys.

Plenty of size, no aggression. He could still come good but never looked the part for me, he played against Salford in the league for us last year when we played all the youths. Sure you will find some videos of that on YouTube. Whatever he was like for us doesn't mean he won't be any good at Bradford anyway. Good luck to him.

Played 2 games for us then out on loan. Had a bad achilles injury in March 2021. Still a young lad though at 22.

What, you mean Jon Clarke to return with his fake tan as conditioning coach, and Asotasi to return as, well, the lump that he was?

Hull have had a huge pack for several years and it's not done them much good. With the set restart rule I'm not sure having a monster pack is a great advantage any more. I'd much rather have a Cooper or Prior who can do big minutes, is mobile and still eats up yards.

“Cooper and Prior” edited for accuracy.

Kane Evans looks nailed on at Hull now.
We’ve not 2 brass farthings in the cap left.
2022 is going to be a tough year for Wire.

I think you will be right Duckie, the current injury list doesn't help at all, but we do still have a good team. I don't mind them losing generally if they've played well but been beaten by a better team, what I can't stand is appalling and boring performances where the team looks like they've never met before. Hopefully they will be a thing of the past and we will at least see some good rugby next season focused more on attack.

Re: New Prop : Fri Oct 08, 2021 5:53 pm  

You're only as good as your last game so the saying goes, and we won't win any games with 20+ errors no matter who the coach us. This needs fixing first, followed by not giving away a daft penalty by trying to atone for the error. You cannot attack without the ball.

Our pack for 2022 looks like it is going to be the weakest for 20 years.

And even in that crap year of 2002 when we nearly got relegated we had Fozzard and Hilton in the front row and Burns and Domic in the back row. All players who would upgrade us significantly in 2022.

+ Wood
+ Sturminator
+ Guisset
+ Marquet

The thing is we haven't arrived at this pack problem overnight, it's been developing since we did not replace Morley, Carvell or Wood adequately and we have had 3 CEOs and 3 managers.
