Yes that is correct. Bain will be a m for us but I think Pele will be a bigger miss for them. I like Pele, he is a Fifita type player, he was the right player but at the wrong time for Hull. I can see another Super League team taking a punt on him next season which is why he has only signed at Bradfford until the end of the year.

I suppose next season Pele could be both a risk and an advantage.

The tackle height lowers next year. Tackling Pele low will cause defences a huge issue. However Pele defensively would find it much more difficult to get low in the tackle especially around tackling pivotal players and will be a huge target for penalties.

Pele not playing will be a massive boost for Trinity the problem us wakey will only have 1 middle on the bench which isn't ideal. I supprised dp aint gone into the loan market

Hopefully we have a couple of players return.

One of Doyle or Hood and a prop or two would be nice.

Do we actually know what the issue is with Doyle, Bowden, Atoni a d maybe even Cozza?

Honestly though, even with injuries I’m still going to back us to win. The players this season have always found a way whether it’s pretty or not.

I have been told there will only 1 middle on the bench and i know smith isnt playing for the reserves at this moment so would assume hood or doyle are out.cozza is out for 3 months due to head knocks .

Wonder if the club are looking to bring in a middle or 2.if these guys are out for a while we are really thin in middle department esp with vangana been out for long period.it may not matter now but ky and caleb doing big stints could come into effect come the end of the season and the playoffs
