It`s funny really, it`s not often you get players, multiple players even, moving on from clubs and having an axe to grind, but it seems players that have moved on all have terrible things to say about Hull. If I was a player, Hull FC is the last place I would want to be.

Who is the new journalist interviewing Cameron Scott for Trinity? Thought it was quite good.

Re: Rumours thread : Thu Jan 09, 2025 1:53 pm  

Matthew Shaw reporting a Salford fire sale is about to take place with clubs being invited to bid for players and the RFL willing to grant quota and cap dispensations.

Is there anyone we would be interested in?

I'm not sure there is really.
Of course they have some good players but if we've made the effort to build a team that will work well together and with Powell, sometimes knocking players back to keep the ethic in place, adding someone randomly may break that.
I'd be looking at young potential there rather than top players.

I agree, there isn’t anyone I would be desperate for, although saying that, I would like to add a hardened super league level prop. Granted we have McMeeken but I would argue that Atoni was hit and miss in SL and Rodwell and Uele are unknowns at SL level. So whilst not an exciting pick up, the likes of Singleton, Bullock or even Hill could be useful over the course of a season.

Good God! Our penalty count would be even worse than it has been of late. Unbelievable, I know but very likely.
