Still think he's one of our best performers. Think he's also played every minute of the league season. Don't think it would do any harm to give him a breather this week.

He's not quite found the gaps in recent weeks so maybe a week off would do him good. Not sure who we have that can cover for him though.

See Trueman is moving on to Wakefield. Once a star of our academy, not quite cemented himself into Castleford or Hull's teams, due to injury mainly. Hopefully a fresh start will be good for him.

I wonder if that will push Lawford down the pecking order.

Ronan Michael announced on a 2 year deal from York. Good addition in my opinion and he always plays well against Bradford. The squad is shaping up nicely.

2 year deal. Good stuff.

Steady away IMHO only 24 though so plenty of time to continue developing

I like how he says Souter was whispering his old mate's ear urging him to sign.

If clubs are cutting cloth to suit smaller budgets then it stands to reason others will be paying more. Clubs losing their best players will always try and spin it to save face with their supporters. We've seen more than enough of that at the Bulls over the last 18 years.

So long as theyre doing it accordingly

The club have just released a graphic via Twitter/X that includes the names of our squad for 2025. The remaining 2024 members who haven't announced where they are playing next season are listed below.

Holmes
Arundel
Taufua
Gaskell
Baldwinson
Butler
Davies
Lawrence
Doro (Confirmed move to Hull KR)
Oakes
Fulton
Lehmann
Pele
Sammut

Out of that list I'd want to keep Fulton, Holmes, Taufua, Lehmann, Baldwinson, Davies & potentially Sammut as a back up halfback.
