The guy think he knows everything, last season he thought he was a Physio, now he is a top class rugby scout.



The fact he wanted Shaul at hooker says it all, Shauls biggest weakness is his passing, so lets put him at hooker.



He never says anything positive about the club, even after a good win and can his new thing is to attack some of the older people on this forum because of their age.

I agree, not a bad player and if needed a Centre I'd be looking at him, but quite happy with our two , Sutcliffe looks good and Carlos seems to be getting back to his best, not sure Gildart is much faster than either of them. Will demand a big salary too, think we have other priorities.

Gildart is a decent larker and would be a good addition to any SL club.

May well be, but I think our priorities are in the pack.

Slight positive might be Sam Walker has been offered to the Dolphins.



A lot of people are adamant Clifford’s on his way there. If they sign walker they wouldn’t need him

Don't get the Roosters letting him go

I find it funny reading some of the posts on here, Twitter and FB about people we are linked with, people we are rumoured to be signing, players we have missed out on. We are probably around 3 months late to hearing about anything to do with players. The club will have known about Satae and probably have contingencies in place. They are not nieve to think that Laidlaw can replace Satae, they will know we need similar.

All I know is Wigan fans are not very complimentary about him and are very happy they are not trying to get him back.



He may end up doing a good job for them but I wouldn’t be building him up as something special or a “Dolphins star”.

When I've seen him linked with the likes of Leeds, Warrington and Wigan, majority of fans don't want him, think it's a bit unfair to be honest as he is a good SL player. Just not what we need right now.

Hopefully we can keep Swift, the other wing I wouldn't recruit for, as we have a few young wingers coming through (Martin, Barron, MW) and could play Litten there. Plus the likes of Mcintosh and probably Wood.



Martin IMO looks top class and reminds me of a taller Briscoe, will be 19 by the start of next season, needs to be given a chance like Litten.



Even if we lose Swift, I'd only recruit a winger after the pack is sorted.

You only have to look at Wire this season to see what a good pack can do with an average back 4.

Exactly, although to be fair I rate both there wingers, centres are average though, Wrench will be a cracking player though and they will sign a good NRL centre for next year.



Jake Thelwis (or Josh, the older) reminds me of Litten, a full back but has played the majority of his games on the wing, which I think is what Litten will do the next 18 months.

Stop talking sense, how dare you, posters on here know far more about the club than it’s officials.

Its the people using rumours as fact and then wetting their pants over it thats hilarious. The SKD one inparticular.



Quite intrigued to see what squad Smith builds, at least were rebuilding and not perservering like past seasons.



Too many Hull fans moaning about every snippett of information now. I think keiths done a physcological job on some hahaha!!!!

According to someone on twitter the Aus independent is linking us with a move for prop Franklin Pele, he’s absolutely huge

Apparently we've signed Tindall from Leeds for next season too.

He's got another year on his contract at the Dogs. Had a quick look at his stats, only seems to play about 20/25 mins. 93% tackle efficiency, averages 72m a game. See what happens

Ihope we sign him just for his name alone

Would be block Barron etc development? Similar age.



Can't wait till we get linked to Bentley

Great name isn’t it, watched video highlights of him and he’s a right handful

Strange one if true especially if we are signing Wood too

This Pele gadger has only played 5 games in three seasons. Worst stats than O Gildart.

Franklin Pele is a big boy! Can't see us linked anywhere though. Also, he has just come back from a broken arm, and the doggies fans on their forum rate him very highly https://www.thekennel.net.au/forum/inde ... le.126182/

He’s also only 22 years old. Might not have played many NRL games but could come do 10 years over here as a successful import. How many games had Satae, Tuimavave etc played. Not like they were seasoned players.



Just hating on the bloke for the sake of hating. I don’t know much about him but looks like he fits the bill

Bit of a leap there accusing me of hate! I don’t know the guy only quoted his stats. That’s none hate it’s quoting stats. Dear me some people.
