Yeah, I can see why you'd take thornley over fonua and mantellato over talanoa and I don't think you'd even consider sneyd over your 40 minute a season half back.

Conversely there's not one player in your team who would even get into our 17

Sio would easily get into your team

Can't disagree with that. In a combined dream team him and Talanoa would be the wingers.

I wouldn't have Taylor if he paid us to play, he treated the club and fans appallingly.

I don't think you need to worry about that, somehow.

I really don't get this view that Taylor treated the club or fans badly at the time of his leaving. He was offered a contract, chose not to sign it and went to Wigan which was and is a bigger and better club to further his career.

He has of course been a complete bell end ever since but that's a different matter.

Completely agree, couldn't blame him for going Wigan and can blame him for subsequently being a bell end

Fair comment, and walker would probably get a bench spot but that's it, no one else is good enough to displace his counterpart in the Hull side

Plus you got a big fee for him. He has subsequently moved to a club who have won more trophies than wigan have since he left and who sit higher in the league so bettered himself again

Lunt would probably be 2nd hooker if Houghton didn't play the full 80 and Blair would probably get in as if say he's better than your stand off and is a good SR but that's about it

We only play with 1 hooker but if we went with 2 we'd have to take lunt I guess as we have no 2nd hooker ourselves. blair wouldm't get anywhere near the back row and I'd take kelly if I had to have a half from rovers but would stick with tuimavave personally as he fits better with how we play

Trophies, plural? Getting a slightly ahead of yourself there.

That said, there has been a grim, steamroller inevitability to your progress for a long time this season, and I wouldn't bet against you being right by October.
