Two former Hull FC players have been tipped to have a massive impact at their new club with bold claims of a top four finish also made.
The duo and club in question are Scott Taylor and Jamie Shaul, the two former Hull FC stars who are now at Goole Vikings – League One’s newest club.
Goole will play their first game since entering the professional ranks this weekend when they travel to face London Broncos in the Challenge Cup and they’re being tipped for a brilliant season under head coach Scott Taylor.
The former FC man has used his Black and White connections to bring on board a number of players with Hull links, including Jamie Shaul who has come out of retirement to play for the Vikings.
Consequently, Goole will be one of the biggest stories in League One anyway but they’re now being touted for a top four finish with Taylor’s coaching ability viewed as one of the biggest reasons.

Those claims have been made by rugby league agent Craig Harrison of Show Me The Money with Harrison expressing his views on the Full 80 Minutes Podcast.
“I watched Goole train ten days ago and they were fantastic,” Harrison revealed before making the first of his two bold predictions.
“Scott Taylor – we can go back on this in a year’s time – will be a top-level coach. There is one word you see in good coaches—I’ve seen it in football and rugby league: enthusiasm.
“You have got to have enthusiasm. You look at Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, and Wayne Bennett at nearly 80, Taylor was so enthusiastic putting his drills together. I think they could shock the world this year. I think they will be in the top four and may even go for it.”
Entering League One as a brand new outfit and finishing in the top four would be a major achievement but according to Harrison, there is one man alongside Scott Taylor who could be at the heart of that predicted success.
“The one that intrigues me watching them is Jamie Shaul,” Harrison explained.
“He is 32, and three or four years ago, he was bordering on being in the top three or four full-backs in the country.
“He retired but came back because of his relationship with Scott Taylor. He looked red-hot, and he could score 20 or 30 tries on his own. I’m not being rude to the standard of League One, but if he is fit, then they won’t be able to touch him.”
