Wish him all the best. Lost his place a couple of years ago to the academy player Regan Grace due to a string of embarrassing performances where you had to question wether he played rugby before. Never did do anything to suggest he was near the class of Grace after that. Maybe a change of scenery will do him good

A bit surprising. Wouldnt have thought he was a Hull FC type of winger. Generally they seem to go for bigger units.

The boy Swift is very quick, as you would imagine.

There is a range of caravans called Swift. Conclusions based upon names are generally unwise.

True

Also they have now signed both of saints reserve wingers from years back, swift and dawson.

Theres a few hull fans happy about this on twitter. For me its Pearson still isnt following up his rant about top class signings from last year.

I'd wait and see, if rumours are true we have signed a couple of very good NRL backrowers, along with a prop.

Add to this Jones who is one of the best backrowers in SL and probably the best English backrower in SL, I think Pearson is keeping his word.

Pack is our weakness and we are addressing that, our squad next year on paper should challenge IMO

Last year after Hull were on the back end of some big losses he promised a big clear out ....That never materialised. Now this season he promised big signings again for next season : http://www.rlnews.co.uk/pearson-hints-a ... -for-hull/ Comments in League Express from Adam Pearson suggest that Hull FC are set to alter their recruitment policy next year, with the possibility of marquee signings as well bringing in a number of players from Australia. Pearson and head coach Lee Radford are generally against the marquee signing policy and have opted over the last couple of seasons to sign a larger number of players to provide depth in their squad for injuries and to run a reserve team. However, with 15 players coming off contract at the end of the 2019 season, Pearson admitted their squad was set to shrink significantly, with fewer, more expensive and higher quality signings to potentially come through the door. “There’s no way we’ll run a squad of this size again next year,” he said. “We’ll be bringing five or six in from Australia at the end of this year and i’d be surprised if that policy (Hull’s current stance on marquee signings) isn’t tested.”
