Can't listen at work, anyone give us the gist?

Happy to be at his home town club where he used to be a season ticket holder.....taking over reins after tomorrows match....6 or 7 players back fit next week...trying to sign one new player in next few weeks to bring in a bit of quality - could be from overseas.

Dickens & Gilmour in charge for tomorrow's game, then take it up Saturday.
Is the squad good enough? Chester thinks so, got 30-31 players and not many injuries, hoping to have some players back next week.
Hoping to bring in a new player to add a bit of class to the fringes, looking home and overseas, he has a few names in his head.
If he can't get said player he's happy to go with what he has but sounds like there will be a player coming in.

Dickens and Gilmour to oversee things at Hull.He ha spoken to squad indicating they need to impress.Takes over fully on Sat morning when he will make his mark .Dickens and Gilmour to stay on certainly to end of season.Thinks the squad has depth and able to progress up table.Scope to bring in quality player .Did not state what position,but used the word quality again and said from here or abroad.Thats about it.

"There is some movement - we're looking over here and overseas - just to add a little bit of quality. We're just lacking a little bit of strike on an edge and I have a few names in mind but it's a long, drawn-out process."

Earlier this season before he departed Hull KR they had agreed a deal to sign Sami Sauiluma (ex-Canberra & Cronulla) but the deal fell through due to them not being able to get him under the overseas quota. As we have a spot left this would be a problem. Could be a possible.

Means he's a former teamate of both Tupou's and Arona.

I'm sure it was a visa issue rather than quota. Don't think he qualifies to play over here

Dane Chisholm? Showed some quality in the short time at KR last season and would give us some quality in the halfs.

Went back to Australia I think?
