Adam will be tapping into Grix to see what we can get from the bargain basement of the championship.

Personally I'd be disappointed, IF we used a marquee slot on a winger.
We need, 7, 9 & 3 -IMO

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Fri Mar 15, 2024 2:43 pm  

Davies wouldn't have been marquee money surely, high paid but marquee, he'd have been an ideal signing to replace McIntosh for next year

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Fri Mar 15, 2024 3:23 pm  

I would imagine McIntosh will get a contract extension.

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Fri Mar 15, 2024 4:48 pm  

Its a case or where do you start as weve some glaring needs such as a number 7 a looseforward and a new hooker.

On the other hand we have alot of average players that we need upgrades on, id say Mcintosh is one.

Id release him personally and let Lewis Martin come through, Barron looked alot better on his last outing alot stronger, we also have Litten as wing cover, think the Mcintosh wage can be put to better use elsewhere.

I wonder if Hull will have the same policy this year as last year, i.e. leave any annoucements until much later in the year.

Ese'ese was the first confirmed IIRC and that was mid August. Contrast that to Rovers. I think they have the right idea. Two good signings if they confirm Davies and it generates a feel good factor for the fanbase. I could cope more easily with another mediocre season if I knew now that we had top replacements announced for Houghton and Tuimavave.

id be happy if they announced they had a top class 7 signed for next season,we are missing one badly

When it is announced I'm not that concerned about. What bothers me is that we leave it too late and all our targets are snapped up and we are scrambling around for a replacement and end up with a hooker who can fill in at at scrum half when we have injuries.

yes,we need to be looking now,late last summer,hull went from looking for a 7 to about to sign a spine player.in other words we had left it to late for a good 7.
