Whilst there will be a few tweaks to come yet I would imagine that the bulk of recruitment for next season is complete. So how are the first choice sides looking?



For Hull I would go for:



McKinnon

Sharp

Martin

Yeaman

Briscoe

Horne

Seymour

O'meley

Heremaia

Lynch

Tickle

Manu

Westerman



Houghton

O'Carroll

Moa

Whiting

S Tomkins

Charnley

J Tomkins

Carmont

Richards

Finch

Lealuai

Fielden

McIllorum

Hansen

Mossop

O'Loughlin



Hock

Mellor

Prescott

Farrell



That's assuming we don't loose any other players and leaving out signings. I'd like to see us sign a and halfback so that Lealuai can return to hooker

Grix/Murphy



McGillvary

Cudjoe

Wardle

George



Brown

Brough



Mason

Lunt

Fa'alongo

Chan

O'Donnell

Faiumu



Tonks

Robinson

Crabtree

Patrick/Fairbank



New Prop and Stand-off for me.

1. Webb

2. Jones-Bishop

3. Watkins

4. Hardaker

5. Hall

6. Sinfield

7. McGuire

8. Bailey

9. McShane

10. Peacock

11. JJB

12. Delaney

13. Ablett



14. Burrow

15. Griffin

16. Leuluai

17. Clarkson

1. Dorn

2.O'Callgahan

3.Clubb

4.Howell

5.Robertson

6.Witt

7.Gower

8.Bryant

9.Randell

10.Kaufusi

11.Bailey

12.Rodney

13.Sarginson



14.Rinaldi

4. Lulia

5. Kear

6. Gale

7. Sammut

8. Scruton

9. L'Estrange

10. Kopzac

11. Elima

12. Whitehead

13. Langley



14. Diskin

15. Hargreaves

16. Manuokafoa

17. Burgess

There looks some decent sides here and I can see it been really competitive. Teams like London and Bradford, whilst I dont expect them to trouble the big boys, look as though they will be able to stake a claim for top 8. Hull have improved too and Wigan, Leeds and Hudds look pretty similar to this year. Hopefully the gap between top and bottom will lessen again.

For wakey (out of players so far)

LW Morton
