You rate our squad players but not the coaching or tactics. Many agree.
Top 2 though?

| Quote Standee="Standee"
I don't share your opinion on the evaluation of the squad, any side still trotting out Radford, Tickle, G.Horne and the likes isn't going to trouble Saints or Leeds. (In my opinion, of course)'"
Radford, Tickle and Horne are no worse than a Paul Clough, and for me its not about the big names like Wilkin, Flannery and Gilmour for example its how they operate as a collective pack. On our day our pack is more than a match for Saints or Leeds, weve shown that over recent seasons. We just dont do it consistently but for me they can lay a platform, we are probably just short from a tactical and from a half back point of view.
Long and Pryce are where Saints win games as are McGuire/Sinfield and Burrow imo. |

Thats better. Saints and Leeds still lead the way but the next 8 or 9 teams can all realistically challenge for 3rd.
Any of these sides have a settled team and hit a winning streak can suddenly find themselves right amongst the leaders. |

Yep. I am certain that we will find some form when we can finally get a settled side on the pitch. |

It's not about having a settled side, it's about having a capable squad. We've had our share of injuries this year but dealt with it because of our squad. Take Scott Wheeldon for example, IMO our best prop in the past 5 games but he wouldn't have got a chance if Vella, Fozzard and Lovegrove were all fit.
Hull FC have no right to be in the top 4 but the players seem to think they do (there was a similar article with Houghton a few weeks ago). That (as well as having a poor squad) is part of the problem, in my unbiased opinion...

I am saying all these sides have capable squads!
By settled I am talking more about pivotel positions.
In 2006 when we went 13/14 games unbeaten we had Swain, Horne and Cooks almost ever present. This helps enourmously with game plans and the like. Every side will have injuries! |

The Hull players don't believe they have a right, what utter crap. They believe they are good enough to finish there and have belief that they will finish there. Nobody has said they have a right.
Morgan said Rovers were targetting the GF, does that mean he thinks you have a right? |

| Quote Big Dave T="Big Dave T"We still have a good enough squad to be top 2 imo. Whether we perform like it is a different matter.'"
Top 2 is too far for me, however after Saints and Leeds there are a bunch of 6/7 sides who all have little between them. I believe Hull are one of those sides and providing we play to our potential then I could see us finishing in the top four. |

"If we can make it three from three we could go as high as third place and that's exciting, we could be heading back to where we belong in the table."
After finishing 11th last year, it makes you wonder how Thorman has came up with that conclusion. |

They believe they are good enough to be in the top 3/4 and they were there after the first 5/6 games, simple really. |
