Would anyone take Mcgilvary for a year, 35, but experienced, good finisher and still makes loads of metres, probably better than Mcintosh, we have alot of young wingers it would give them another year to be ready.

I would if we had some real pace and strike and centre but we dont so for me we need to go with pace and let the big forwards do some work coming out of backfield.
Still a concern having McIntosh and three rookie wings going into 2024

Not a bad shout and hes one of the most experienced players in the league. Seem to recall he wont leave Huddersfield though, he had NRL offers after the 2017 WC and wasnt interested at all, so would have to travel to Hull.

Think its a risky move. Like you say, little to no control in tje halves. More pressure on Houghton and Trueman when he's back to steer the ship

Bring on the chaos!

Shame Dwyer won’t be here to add to it

I thought Mcgilvary was hanging his boots up .

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Sun Sep 10, 2023 5:26 pm  

wouldnt surprise me if we end up with 4 fbs in the side,last few years we ve had 4 hookers in the team.

It’s a pity we are sooo skint…we could have put a bid in for Croft at Salford..think I read somewhere he has a £72,000 release clause.
