Out of the ones been mentioned on here I'd say kirmond would be more realistic . Don't think he's anything special myself , he's had one good season in my eyes last year and been average all others . Would take Hansen but I'm sure he's on top wedge at Salford , even Wigan couldn't match it

Now that would be a good signing.
I wonder if the club have bad news re Gaz Ellis

Suggests that or that the persistent Westerman to Leeds rumour ( and the fact that he's not always been the model pro that Radders likes ) has some substance.

Hansen would be a strong addition. Let's hope it's true. Wouldn't be keen on Paterson, but it's been at least 10 minutes since his last new leaf/chapter so who knows?

If a bid came in for Westerman then I'd take it in a flash and give Adbul the 13 shirt unless we are doing it the Aussie way and having a 2 nd rower at 13.

Abdull is nowhere near ready to play 13 consistently.

Asked him and he said "not decided yet"
Looked cheeky, reckon he has myself

HTW under contract for next year too which is good news

Regarding another back rower, I'd love someone like Hansen. But out of Hansen, Mini and Pritchard who'd start on the bench? Because there all too good not to start. Another issue id have is we'd likely have too much of the salary been used just in the back row. Rather sign another top centre with good hands or a prop and a young hooker.

Pritchard would come off the bench for me. Soften up defences then bring him on. Dogs did that a lot in recent yrs. Been starting this tho.
all the decent teams have 3frontline backrows. A lot of the time their backrow units have as many tries than the centres
we have had 2great back rowers this yr. But when 1s gone the whole it leaves is massive. The step down is massive even whiting. Big hopes for the young uns but a while off yet.
Never seen a hull team miss a player the way we do Ellis
