Not sure why we don't offer Livett a short deal, unless he has a good job or is injured, better than we have IMO.

I would t be against Eseh on loan, see what he can do in a better environment than last time.

Might have to make a tough decision with Sao, both short and long term.

DT article saying that the club are looking to bring in reinforcements, possibly even before Fridays game.

The logistics of that 2 games in without a quota spot just seems impossible to bring in any long to even mid term signings, isn’t going to happen without some serious transfer fees offered and even then who’s going to want to sell players at this stage?

My guess is maybe a couple of loans or the free agents mentioned on here previously like Livett, Johnson or Royle.

We could have a quota spot spare shortly once Sao has his scans.

Wainhoise didn't play in any pre season games, not sure if he is injured.

Is Jebson injured, ld rather play him than Fash in the backrow.

I know he's currently injured so couldn't help next game anyway, but getting rid of Staveley looks an increasingly mindboggling decision. Our weakest looking area and we've let go a kid who looked ready to try and cement a spot there, and could have saved us having to make a new signing next year if we could have agreed a deal.
Really hope there was a valid reason for letting him leave but what's done is done and we're not looking at a (hopefully not too long) period of having the worst second row combination in the league.

Will Kirby was 18th man on Friday night, I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the 17 this week.

So Sao injury confirmed as a ruptured patella tendon. 12 month recovery. Looking at special dispensation to de register him.

If not, we should just release him now. Need that quota spot filling.

Sao reportedly out for the season. Gutted for the guy. This was set to be a big year for him to try and earn a new deal, if not at Hull than at least somewhere. I was expecting him to go really well under Cartwright, and he started off well last week against Catalans.

Re: DoR - New Coach - Investor & Adam - New signings : Sun Feb 23, 2025 2:22 pm  

Gutted for him and the club, think he would have a good season, probably his last involvement as a Hull player which isn't a great way to go.

Sounds like we are after a prop and a centre, I'd be looking for an overseas centre and domestic prop, as more chance of getting a domestic prop than centre.

Suprised we aren't after a backrower, hopefully that means Cartwright and Holmes aren't far off.

Awful news regarding Sao, maybe the club and player could come to an arrangement and take a pay off this season, hlep with his recovery..prove his fitness in 12 months time and re-sign as non quota

Yes hopefully. That would seem to be the best outcome and fairest option for both parties.

Good luck to Ligi for hoi recovery.
