Holmes dosent have a niggle,its the same knee injury that kept him on the sidelines for most of last season at Leigh.
He wasnt signed as a back up he was signed as a starting second row
Myler had clauses in Abdulls contract to mitigate the costs of paying him off? really
On that basis Abdull may as well have sat out his last season on contract at KR if that was true,He cant be that daft
As for Chamberlain he is just Championship quality even if you use the term utility

Holmes signed as a starting second row but given the 15 number?!

To be fair to Bonaire he's right with regards to Holmes injury. He's been nursed through the pre season and in the first game he's played it's aggrevated it again. It is a concern especially with Chamberlain picking up an injury (despite him being championship quality). We're straight down to Jebson or Kirby already, or shoehorning someone else in.

However... We finished joint bottom of super league and aren't the most attractive club to sign for. We (allegedly) were in for Whitehead so I think everyone at the club understands it's an area we're weak (left centre also identified too, Bonaire). I don't understand the constant club bashing from him (unless he is a Rovers troll) but it may just be a coping mechanism from him after many years of false promises and underachievement.

There's a balance to be found though. I think deep down all Hull FC fans will be anxious as we approach the new season, but hopefully we'll all start to see some of the shoots we have seen take root and start to build towards getting us back to competing again.
