Think you may be mistaken on positions.

I believe Lawrence is primarily a 13 and so is Taylor.

Williams will likely be Sam Williams.

Agree on Briscoe….not needed. I think it’s silly season and we will be linked with everybody.

Can’t say I’d be excited about many of the names mentioned but I’m sure there will be a lot of options.

13/prop, exactly the same by 95% of the teams now a days,

agree re briscoe, not needed,

Also agree re the excitement part, but unfortunately like i said we cant sign 10 superstars, needs to be a balance so inevitable fans won't be excited by all the signings

I think the games at prop for Lawrence have only been fill in emergency few and far between though and I’d certainly rather have a specialist prop.

Perhaps it’s an option for 13 to interchange with Crowther which I would probably be ok if not a bit underwhelmed.

I'm sure Lawrence is a good guy and can do a shift but from what I've seen he isn't the guy for us.

From what I hear on Shaul we are trying to put a package together that reflects the fact he is due a testimonial at Hull next year. I like him, but I wouldn't want to pay over the odds for him.

But the fact Hull want him off the wage bill should also be considered.

Yeah I mean we have Jowitt who is more than good enough at full back so we already have a first choice. Gaskell can cover in case of injury too. Compensating for a testimonial year won’t be easy tbh. Is he contracted to hull for 2023? If so they’d have to pay a %.

A lot will do if Tony Smith rates/wants him. His last coach certainly didn't.

That commentator from the BBC Dave Wood is tipping him for the job.

Would be a good move for Hull in that imo he’s easily the best available. but whether Smith still has the drive required at tgat difficult club I don’t know.
