That's the spirit. Let's write him off before he's even arrived in the country.

I'm not exactly thrilled by his signing but you can see the potential.

If he plays 80 mins I'd expect him to get in and around 100m which is better than what we have now

The difference with Walker is he can actually play and is a class above what we have at the club at full back including Hoy.
You mean the Hampshire who has been out of the game for eleven months following an ACL injury

The same injury that kept Trueman out as well…Hampshire has had one bad injury,walkers had a few.Going on your logic then with injuries,would you sign jai field?…he has had 2 serious hamstring injuries..

Oh I'm sorry, it's clearly all my fault for not being excited about bang average signings. I'm sure if we all think positively we'll be GF contenders in no time.

regarding the size of hulls pack,most of the forewards we have signed from overseas have been of a decent size,hulls problem is we continue to bring local forewards in who are clearly not big enough.

Did James Clarke advise on any further updates yesterday?

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Sun Sep 03, 2023 2:54 pm  

Regarding our signings for next year. Why don't we just wait and see when we have finished recruiting?. We all knew it wasn't a quick fix. Smith gas started the clear out which is exactly what we all hoped for.

yet we continue to play them at the expense of giving a reserve player a chance thats what i dont understand about Smith.

Think this clear out will continue into next season.
There’s that much to do. Too much in one year anyway.

Hopefully see some green shoots next year. If Tony Smith can’t turn it around we may as well give up.
