Good luck to him, must be something about him to play regularly in the NRL, got some size and ar a good age, will have a point to prove.

Just need a backrower, halfback and sort out the hooking situation.

Wonder if we will keep Mitch, be worth a year if on the (rumoured) low salary.

I wouldent bother with Mitch, he'd just block a young player coming through and surely theres some doubts after his knee op

So that's 5 signings done. 3 more to go. Hooker( not Powell) half back and hopefully another backrower unless they are planning on playing Ashworth there.

A quota half back and a fed hooker and second row.

Half back shouldn't be a problem but finding a quality hooker and second row will be more difficult.

Thought exactly the same. They've done well to sign a 7 worse than Sezer

He didn’t really pull up any trees at Huddersfield either.

getting a new 7 wont be a problem,getting one of quality to improve on clifford could well be a problem.no obvious candidates

I hope we’ll be taking a look at Jack walker now. With Trueman potentially out long term we won’t sign two decent half backs so think Hoy to halves is our best option

Not sure Walker is good enough for me. Hoy or Litten in the 1 spot would be what I’d go with. Walker would be a backward step.

Well Jake Avarillo has started following Hull on Instagram but he's just signed for the Dolphins so presumably just planning on seeing how his mates Pele and Okunbor are getting on.

If Houghton and Taylor do retire/aren't offered new deals, our remaining signings need to have leadership qualities about them, Houghton is a natural leader on the pitch, and Clifford has led the team round well this season, struggling to see who our leaders will be next season on the pitch when the going gets tough / who will offer us that leadership and direction

Was talking to someone who was adamant we’d signed Jez Litten for next season but took it with a pinch of salt.
