Liam Harris would be a welcome addition should Milnes or Lilley be unavailable. Looking at Hull's squad, when all are fit I think there's every chance of an Adam Swift or Matty Dawson-Jones being available, as well as likes of Cameron Scott for the three quarters. You would assume likes of Faraimo, Tuimavave, Griffin, Fonua & Naulago would be ahead of them. Even after them, players like Connor Wynne and Kieran Buchanan are likely to improve our current options. Lewis Bienek may also be a possibility in the forwards.
All good players. Hull have a really good squad this year, so I think there were definitely worse options to partner with.

Id imagine of the 3 that will be in on Sunday, 1 will be a second row and 1 a centre.

With Hallas hobbling round in a protective boot last night and George banned we are light in the no 9 as well.
I dont know what hulls hooking depth is like as i believe Houghton is injured at the min.

He is. And looking at the first team squad, after Houghton there's only Jordan Johnstone who's a recognised hooker. One of the halves could play there, but even the likes of Dean Hadley who's played there a little before have left the club. Downside of having such a quality first option is that your backups end up moving on.

Thomas Doyle and Jordan Lilley to share hooking role. Liam Harris to come in on dual reg?

I think Swift will be ahead of Faraimo in the pecking order. Im not sure we would have re-signed him if we knew we were getting Fonua. Even as a Hull fan it's tough to know what the first choice 13 is going to be and the allocation of squad numbers makes it even harder to second guess what Radford is thinking. Its fair to say there will be some very handy players not making out 17 though.

Re: Duel reg : Fri Jan 17, 2020 3:06 pm  

4 from Hull in the squad for Sunday's Friendly. Connor Wynne, who I assume will play fullback in Pickersgill's absence. Kieran Buchanan who you would think might play in the centre spot Rhys Evans vacated. Along with Charlie Graham and Charlie Patterson-Lund, who I confess I know jack sh** about.

(Edit: Graham is apparently a winger, Patterson-Lund is a back rower)

Re: Duel reg : Fri Jan 17, 2020 3:56 pm  

We had them at Doncaster, Wynne is a good full back . Buchanan is a decent player. Interesting to see how they go in the Championship.

Re: Duel reg : Fri Jan 17, 2020 6:18 pm  

Well Cameron Scott & Lewis Bienek have just joined Leigh on loan, so doesn't look like we're getting those two.

So much for all the 'courting' that went into getting the dual-reg deal done! They immediately loan out better players to another team in our league

Thanks Radders
