For all the histrionics and badge patting when they've beaten us of course Litten and Lewis would love to play for Hull FC. They are both black and white at heart and we are the bigger club.

A new 4G pitch isn’t a real statement of intent.
People are buying into the narrative that we’re skint and they are cash rich.
Not sure how true either of those are TBH

You've forgotten the new burger van on Craven Streat.

If that's not a real statement of intent I don't know what is.

Perhaps Trueman, given the injury he had, believes he can become an organising half - making the move to be a '7', leaving room for Lewis at 6 potentially

Am I the only Hull FC fan that doesn't want or rate Lewis?

Not sure on him either, seems a bit one dimensional, good running, but does he has the kicking or passing gane to be a top halfback.

has the odd good moment, but not an all round team player imo, seems a bit of a glory player

Nope I don't either, he's alright but he spends more time trying to be a grub than playing rugby. He's another like Welsby that sky get their socks out over when they do any little thing. Trueman is a better all round player. He also can't tackle and spends most of the game sulking or waving at the referee.

I wouldn't want him. When Abdull got injured, he should have stepped up and led the team around, but he doesn't get involved unless its in the opposition 20. I also think that the way he conducts himself with the Hull fans is poor - antagonising, always winding up, celebrating in front of them. Take a leaf out of Tag's book - he knew he wanted to play for FC one day, and conducted himself well, Lewis just comes across as a c*ck

I think he's a good player who has a bit of X factor about him but as Dave K highlighted he hasn't got a particularly good passing or long kicking game.

However if he signed for us I'd change my mind and say he's the best half back in the world

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Mon Aug 07, 2023 12:58 pm  

Not even half the player Trueman is.
Take Lewis’ speed away and I’m not sure what is left.
