Of course not, its a bit daft to compare a full back with a loose forward for example. I would say that on present form, McDonnell, D.Hodgson, Hall, Dobson, Taylor, J.Hodgson, Galea & Lovegrove are playing better than their counterparts in your team.

Are you short tongued by the way, or is your speech impediment caused by excess dummy spitting?

McDonnell - Russel (Wasn't at Wakey, but in attack he's been excellent and very raw in defence. I expect him to be a future star)
Hodgson - Sharp/Crooks (Injured and not a winger, so yep)
Hall - Yeamo/Crooks (Just back from injury/playing on the wing. Crooks has been good since he has broke into the team, so yep again)
Dobson - Seymour (Thought it was one of the best game's I've seen your Goonie looking half back play against Hudds. Seymour needs a better SO next to him to see his full potential, however I have been getting more impressed with him as the season has gone on)
Taylor - Lynch/Moa (Don't think so on this one, sorry)
J. Hodgson - Houghton (Again, disagree. Houghton didn't have a brilliant game against Saints, but he is having a good season so far and will only get better when Heremaia is there to spell him)
Galea - Tickle (Not sure. Galea ran some good lines against Hudds, but Tickle has again had a good season, proved by earning his international cap this week)
Lovegrove - Westerman (Lovegrove doing well and Westy having a poor return from a long-term injury)

Watts has plenty of talent, unfortunately we haven't seen enough of it recently, like I said earlier I font think he's as good as either player at Hull he's maybe been lined up to replace. If he really knuckles down there's no reason he won't do well, I'm just not sure he's got it in too knuckle down enough though. Time will tell with this Larakin lol.

Can't argue with any of that. Although not really getting Value for money with O Meley this season.

Think Hull are going the right way in terms of recruitment, trying to sign young English players, because of the increase in the NRL salary cap and exchange rate, the standard of overseas players will decrease over the next few years, so teams will have to replace there overseas players with English ones. Wigan is a good example losing Finch/Tommy L and replacing them with Smith.

Hopefully in will increase the standard of the British players.

If we are prepared to let Watts go then the club must feel that James Green is a better prospect at this moment in time and willing to work harder at his game then Watts is, hope Green does come through becuase he has impressed everytime i've seen him play

I'm not sure it will increase the standard of British players though mate,

Hopefully James Green will push for a place next season, with Watts, Wheeldon and hopefully Clinton gone then well need Green to step up.

Watts to sign for Hull by the end of the week.

Is that 9th placed team the current s.l grand final winners tho ?

Well the team should be picked on current form surely so what happened last year shouldn't matter at all.

Anyway Watts is gone apparently (Well according to the HDM as far as I have seen so far).

Liam hasn't been seen at MS3CP since last Thursday according to Bonesy.

There are a number of stories circulating about Liam but the one about his antics at Knights training was the one that prompted him to ask to be released. Apparently CS was fuming over it.

He asked to be released before he went to the knights camp didn't he?
