Slightly better starting 17 than last year but much less depth in the forwards and we still have a $hite right hand side which will continue to be targetted. |

Much better than last year.
Better FB.
A Scrum Half and a even a back up.
Better props.
Depth is a concern.
Only loss from last year is Fitz IMO. |

You cannot say a player is better just by specualting what he may do next season when we have never seen them play for us. The new signings may go well but they may not. Seymour could become a legend though he could also become an Orford. The squad was shaping up nicely but then we sign Martin (average at Crus) and Aspinwall (not good enough for Cas) so essentially we have repaced like with like imo when we had the opportunity to take the squad to another level |

If you can't say they're better or worse then how can you say the squad is the same for next season? How can you say Martin and Aspinwall are not good enough when you have never seen them play for us? |

Ok point taken but at least Martin and Aspinwall are know super league quantities, Seymour and McKinnon are not so to say they are better when theyve never played in the comp is wrong imo. . |

I understand that one of Willie Manu's key strengths is his impact, but surely you have to start each game with your strongest 13? Aspinwall over Manu? |

But as an impact his best time to come on is after 20 minutes or so when the defence has been softened up. The whole point of impact player is to bring them on when they are likely to do the most damage. |

Throughout his career at Hull, Manu has been far more effective when starting games. |

who's to say gentle won't improve our right hand defence with good coaching and organising.
houghton to start at hooker initially with heremaia off the bench after 20 mins - just like he's been doing at the warriors in their last few games. otherwise team as others have said
