A really top class hooker would transform that side completely.

It's difficult for Hull because they're just not in a position to attract risk free signings at the moment. But 'risk' runs right through most of that team whether it's due to injury records, age, disciplinary or inconsistency.

Can understand why it isn't a top priority at the moment but it would surprise me if Jack Walker ever turns into a top class playmaking full back.

One of the first names on the team sheet is Fash. We've miss him big time in the middle this season.

That’s probably why we are where we are then.

Fash is a very good squad man. You do need players like him around. But if all fit wouldn't be in my 17.

He certainly looked done last saturday. Why is it complex? rovers desperate to get him off their books and cats have seen what he offers and don't want to commit beyond this year.

As for the hooker, let's hope he isn't going to be our main option at 9. With 4 injury prone players in our spine, the last thing we need is a young inexperienced hooker as the 5th

Again fans saying its a good signing yet most of them including me probably have never seen him play
Let hope he is not another Jordan Johnstone
What we can say with some confidence is that Balmforth wont be here next season

I really don’t get all this regarding signings in that, the number one priority is a coach. As Myler said from the start we need a coach who fits and will dictate our style of play. While it’s great to see new signings and I’m as excited as anyone else, where is the coach who will want these signings and be sure of making his influence count? Maybe we have it done and just can’t release the info yet. The longer this goes on, the more baffling it appears.
Thoughts....

Mylers misfits

Well people were saying it last year. "Fash is too small, we need big men from down under"

Well we signed big men from down under in the likes of Pele and Okunbor. Fash makes them look like amateurs.

Definitely one of the best centres in SL but a risky signing at his age.

1 year for a 34 year old top centre
Makes more sense to me than Hardaker who is 33 in October on a two year deal
In Myler we trust

would he transform what could be the slowest backline in S/L history
