rovers isn't it? I'd rather we sort things out with lancaster than sign an overseas player in his late 20's who has played reserve grade pretty much all his career

I've seen him linked with Rovers. Maybe the Aussie press are getting us mixed up. I'm pretty sure Pearson said we wanted an outside back though.

I am a bit old school. I see no great skill in running into a gaping hole in the defensive line. Its the accuracy and timing of the pass which makes the run look good.

I am also of the opinion, if there are flaws in your game, then the coaching staff should address them.

I disagree, its the timing of the run that makes the pass look good on many occasions. Crooks runs great lines, can feed his winger and has created tries out of nothing many times. Be gutted to lose him.

If the rumours are true and we lose crooks and lancaster then it will be very disappointing, particularly if they're replaced by average overseas players

I'm not sure an overseas winger is what we need, a centre should be a priority.

Maybe there have got the two Hull clubs mixed up, they maybe haven't even heard of Rovers, despite them being the mist famous sports team even known.

He's a tall lad so now we've signed a player who can kick a ball maybe we are thinking of introducing attacking kicks to the corner to our play book.

ok, my 3 from the nrl looking at that are

To be fair , id be very happy

Think Robinson may end up staying at Raiders to play fullback with Milford leaving. Cory Paterson hasn't played for months, Bodene Thompson would be a better shout. There's a few decent players on there OOC, Tom Symonds being a stand out for me. Mahe Fonua is alright and an outside back but has been playing first grade for Storm so don't think the sunny shores of Hull will be a consideration any time soon ha

Thought Pearson said it was a centre we had signed?

According to Smailes it isn't happening, think the Aus press have got us and rovers mixed up.

Replacement for Eden.

Not a rumour but have seen on twitter that both Crooks and Miller have been doing hull summer camps this week.

Also the 3rd Tyson-Wilson has signed for Hull.
