Why who would replace, he's no better than Wood and from what we have seen he's no better than Randall - do we need three hookers?
Can't imagine a year in the Championship has sharpened him up any either.
Agree to a certain extent. I'd have definitely said Lunt at one time, especially before Randall came and he's still a very good player but Wood was excellent last year and although he only played a few games before getting injured Randall looks an absolute cracking Hooker.
Masoe is big but has no fitness and is a 10-minute spell Prop. On McGuire, although he was excellent in the final especially and rolled back the years, I thought when watching him last season at times, it was going to be his last but he's obviously still got class.
Obviously the first game of the season at their place, after them getting promoted, a partisan crowd etc, they're definitely not to be taken lightly and I wouldn't think CC will let the team do that. But man for man, although you could argue if you wanted about a couple of players, we have a far better team and squad. Bigger more skilled forwards and quicker better backs imo. I think as long as we start well and can get on top early and quite the crowd down, we'll do the business, if we start slow, who knows.
Schoey has obviously not looked at the Hull KR 1 - 17 : Adam Quinlan, Thomas Minns, Andrew Heffernan, Ryan Shaw, Danny McGuire, Nick Scruton, Shaun Lunt, Mose Masoe, Maurice Blair, James Greenwood, Ben Kavanagh, Lee Jewitt, James Donaldson, Danny Addy, Chris Clarkson . Add Carney to that and that is not a team to take lightly.
Quinlan is quick and a proven quality fullback, Minns is decent, Hefferman is a youngster who is highly rated, Shaw is a good finisher, Scruton is Solid, Lunt is a very good player, Masoe is huge, Geenwood , Jewitt and Donaldson are grafters who all defend well. I think Addy is injured for the season, Clarkson is a quality player. McGuire was good enough 5 months ago to carry Leeds through to win the GF.
Plus they have a world class head coach, a fanatic and large home crowd, definitely a game of scratch, dont think Schoey would be able to balance his book if he want offering Hull KR at plus 20.
He'll have to be a magician as well as a world class coach if he's only playing with 16 players every week, that's maybe why Schoey has given them 20 start.
It's all about opinions I personally would have our centres rather than yours as well as our halves and Lunt probably a couple of forwards also but saying all that I still think you might just have a bit much for us

I'm afraid BT is better than anything you have st centre but your half backs seriously mate! Your forwards look dreadfull on paper but if they have the right attitude they may surprise.
Lunt all reputation and I don't know where he got it from seeing as you got relegated with him at 9.
Personally the first game of the seaon is a pure lottery so it's probably your best chance of a win. All season imho.
I also know if you win certain posters on here will be claiming we'll be relegated this season - I just can't wait.

The year we went down Lunt went for an op a week before the season started so was out for a long while so I'm not going to blame him for our demise I still think our halves are better than yours but it will be nice to go to BV to play Wakefield rather than Sheffield good luck from Saturday onwards
Feeling it'll be closer than some Wakefield fans are expecting on Friday night. I'd be happy coming home with the 2 points to be honest, should be a cracking atmosphere in the stands.

He played 22 games for you in SL in 2016, 23 including the CC games you lost to Oldham, so he played the vast majority.
Anyway fans of each side are going to have their own opinions on players especially their own, but I'd be interested to know why you think your halves are better. I presume it's because you rate McGuire more than Finn and I'd have no problems with that as an individual, but who do you rate more than Miller or Hampshire for that matter? Also isn't Sheens desperately trying to sign a new halfback to partner McGuire, with you lot going after Lui and are still looking after getting knocked back because he sees you weak there? That leaves Marsh, Atkin or move Blair there because even taking my RWB specs off I can't see anyone except McGuire as good as Miller or Hampshire tbh. I think as a halfback combination you also have to take into account Trinity's halves have a few seasons together, while Hull KR's haven't.
Anyway, same to you Frankie, hope Hull KR the best after hopefully, we beat you Friday. Always had a soft spot for you lot.
