Pace is nice but it's not everything. In recent times we were pretty succesful with Whiting/Arundel and Yeaman as our centre partnership. I refuse to believe Hardaker or Chamberlain are slower than any of those. Chamberlain plays centre, 2nd row, fullback, wing and has even filled in at stand off this season. It's clear to see he's been signed for percieved versatility rather than as a strike centre. Every time we've had any success, we've had a player like that. I too would love us to sign a team full of exciting mavericks but most teams have their fair share of steady Eddy's. The fact that Leigh won the Challenge cup with Hardaker and Chamberlain as thier starting centres makes a lot of these arguments sound ridiculous. I'm not sure if some posters believe why their unrealistic recruitment expectations aren't met - or if they do, but they just prefer to have a stick to beat the club with.


Moy was our most threatening player on Sunday because he has pace, part of the reason people wanted Sneyd/Connor moving on was their lack of pace....we struggle to score tries currently because Sutcliffe and Carlos have no pace, French and Field are two of the most exciting players in the league because of their pace, Johnstone is one of the best wingers in the league because of his pace...there is no substitute for pace.

Not too worried about pace pace, we have a few players who possess it, more bothered about adding players with the correct attitudes on the pitch and with game smarts, not doing daft things like kicking the ball away at the ptb or silly pens

As much as these signings don't excite (like signing 24 top international sone people are expecting) they are signings that are rather cleaver.
Looking at them short term, then yes, they won't set the world on fire, but are building for the long term. (However some people can't see any long term plans as it doesn't help their agenda or 'arguement')
Hence the signings of these experienced players for next season.
Thet are signed to help develop these young lads more, steady the ship and improve us from what we had this year.
They're some kids in there that will be top draw players in the coming years, the squad in the coming years will be largely made up of hull academy graduates that have played together for years with a few experienced heads in there, either UK or overseas.
We got to endure these crappy years to get to where we want to be, like the Wigan's and st Helens etc they started this process baby moons ago, we are still in our infants stage of the process.

Our 2016 didn't have much pace from Shaul, did ok, you definitely need some pace but people are focusing too much, if someone makes a break, you just to make sure the support is there.

Cas once gave a trial to Dwain Chambers because of his pace. That went well.

Heard Myler has tickets to the 100m Olympic Final in Paris to scout our next signing.

And that was a weakness of that team and one of the reasons it underachieved in the league, we had plan A, bully teams with size, if that didn't work, it didn't have the pace/agility to go round them.

Judging when Myler arrived at our club, I'd wager about 80% of domestic recruitment was already done , and also our location and current predicament, I think hes done a good job, especially the appointment of Cartwright..
For mine, the acid test,is who Myler brings in, as backroom staff to support Cartwright. There is no salary cap in appointing support staff and assistant coaches.
Our support staff, has been cut drastically this season, especially in the vital area of Strength and Conditioning, and Head Physio.
If we are to compete on a level playing field next season, we must be on a par with the rest of SL.

2016 and 17’s underachievement was purely down to switching off after the Wembley wins which was again down to unprofessional behaviour.

I can't believe he was so poor, it made sense on paper..
