Mitch out still until March April, with him out and Mcintosh missing a chunk of pre season, maybe Martin gets his chance early part of the season.

A couple of reserves out long term too, in Wainhouse and Armstrong

Maybe okunbor will play on the wing at the start of the season? Mentions in the YEP article he's been training at wing and centre as well as SR

Maybe look at Brown for captain, top level experience and judging by his social media looks to have a big health and fitness ethos. I'm knackered just viewing it.

Interesting interview with Carlos. Get the feeling he won't be captain next season

Always liked Carlos, good interview with him

Good read in HDM about Balmforth. Really hope he gets a chance this year.

Same, hope we use Houghton less and give Balmforth more of a chance to see if he is SL standard or if we do need to recruit a 9 for 2025

Certainly is a good read and you should enjoy it as well because I've just had it confirmed that nothing has changed with Reach and Dans redundancy and unless the two journo's positions are sponsored which is extremely unlikely then from the middle of January the papers long standing coverage of the two Hull Clubs will finish. I'm a fair believer that a proactive and critical local press keeps the clubs on their toes and at least attempts to get the fans some answers. Big Shame!

but its also an opportunity for the club to update the website and use FC live as the prime source of club news and move away from the twitter crap.
Handled correctly and hosted by Dan his salary could easily be paid for with the uptake of FC live registrations.
People will pay if its the first and only port of call for club news and provides interest and maybe fan interaction apart from the game replays.
500 new FC live memberships should cover his salary
