Hull have a great team, but I think Radford let's them down.

You put someone like Madge in charge of the current Hull squad and they'd be favourites imo. They seem to have good blend of quality imports, established English stars and good youngsters.

SW. Point taken, but to be honest Hampshire was very rarely picked on the bench, he was either picked at fullback or nowhere at all.

I think Benji still looked a very good player last season, even though his partnership with Widdop hasn't panned out as well as it should.

Catalan have signed Willie Mason on a 12month deal.

Percival has been ruled out at Saints for up to 3 months. bad luck for a good young player.

Saddo is already predicting they will finish outside the top 8 now

And I'm predicting Saints' offsides conceded will half whilst he is out.

I see Joe Burgess didn't make it into the seventeen for Roosters game at Saints. Do we know if he has an injury or is this a sign that he is going to have difficulty breaking into the Roosters first choice squad.

Just not selected I think. His big issue is how Mitchell has burst on the scene I'd imagine. He's nailed himself a Centre spot I guess they had Kenny-Dowall pencilled in for which has now pushed him on to the wing.

He'll have to displace SKD or Tupou which won't be easy but I do think he's as good and will be better then both in time.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Sat Feb 20, 2016 2:00 am  

I fancied him to take Tupou's place but he'll have to fight for it. You wouldn't drop SKD in a hurry.

Chris Chester sacked by Hull KR.

Would anyone have him as an assistant to Wane? 5 years experience. Guided Hull KR to the Challenge Cup final last year - albeit they got slammed. Could he bring some new ideas to Wigan?
