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.

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.

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

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