I beg to differ

Dosn't matter who you follow, everyone will get excited.



It's Rugby League, "The Greatest Game"



What's not to excited about?

Could be interesting at the Wigan/Saints game

Post of the year so far!

Very true. I'd also say that, although no-one likes being without RL to watch, having a decent break between seasons sharpens the appetite. I'm always amazed at Premier League wendyball in this regard: a club seems to become champions on 31st May and then they kick-off again before the end of July.

Theres a huge air of excitement at Bradford. Like a snowball rolling down a hill we've had a steady stream of positive events starting off with Macnamara sodding off, the £60 season ticket offer which has attracted over 10k season ticket holders, then we get Mick Potter and recruit usefully if unspectacularly. And finally we've had some encouraging results in the pre-season.



Its hard to say how well we'll do but we are definately very excited.

I think Bradford will be dangerous this year and challenging for silverwear next year.

Well you've got Wigan, Wire, Huddersfield, Saints, Leeds, Hull, Rovers, Bradford and probably Salford battling it out in the play off positions. There's very little between these clubs and Catalans, Quins and Cru can potentially mix it up in there as well for 8th spot. Wakey to defy all expectations again and string a few results together. And, Cas will massively disappoint their fans again.



Without wanting to sound like Nigel Wood, it'll be the closest and best comp yet. How can anyone not be massively excited??

The excitement at The Stoop at the mo is the possibility of 2 teams starting on minus points!!!

I think Hull fans in general are very unexcited about the new season, there are serious concerns about our lack of Half Back cover, the ability of Agar as a coach and the weakness of our backs. Our first 3 games of the season are also very tough (Rovers at MM, Leeds at home, Hudds away)



a win or two out of those first 3 would undoubtedly calm the fears though, as would signing another half-back before the start of the season.

Your lot was saying this Agar last season, but you spent the majority of the season in the top 4. The lowest you dipped all season was sixth.

that sounds all well and good on paper. But the reality was, in the games that matter Hull came up short each time.



we exited the CC in the first round for the 2nd year in the row. Lost games against Leeds and Wire that we needed to win to finish top4, and then played abysmally against Rovers in the playoffs.



grinding out boring wins against the struggling sides is one thing, actually performing when it matters and beating the top teams is another.
