Whilst the likes of miller, Johnson and Holmes aren't top class signings, we need a big clear out of under performing players so a changing if the guard is what we need

Huddersfield are making noises you are trying to sign Adam Milner. Not sure if you have got Lewis Johnson deal over the line. 2 ok signings.

And?????….can’t see Milner unless he outright replacement for Houston and he spells with Hodgson/Balmforth if still here and we have better in our youngsters than Johnson.Unlike you,we are prepared to play our youngster where you go out and buy.

Miller is pretty average, like a poorer version of Houghton at hooker and on par with Cator at LF.

I'd take Johnston on loam, big lad and might need another backrow is Chamberlain goes back early.

Have we finished recruiting?

We will have 2 to 4 more quota spots available.

If you don't think our backrow is an issue you can't have watched us much this season.

I'm sure we will use a quota spot on a 9 and 7 and probably a centre or backrow (hopefully both).

Exactly Dave, as have we even got a back row this season?

Still find it amazing how many people from other clubs seem to know more about Hull FC than anyone else.

We are a basket case in terms of a squad and can see huge wholesale changes coming over the next couple of seasons.

4 weeks ago we were skint, Rovers fans couldn't wait to tell us and signing a marquee player and someone of his ability we could only dream of.

Now we are overpaying.

I think we're gonna have to overpay some to tempt them to come here. Once we've got a decent coach and squad together it'll become easier to tempt players but for now we're just gonna have to suck it up. But with Asiata, Holmes and Milner in the side next year we'll be a lot better side. I like what Myler is doing and it all seems so simple too so why couldnt previous idiots who coached us do this?

Asiata also praised Pearson in his statement but that doesn’t fit your anti-Pearson agenda does it and Milner isn’t very good at all…we need a hooker who can bullet a pass and run out of back.

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Sun May 05, 2024 4:50 pm  

Jeez so many on here in the know. Wages players coming etc etc. Yet not one of them even mentioned Asiata arrival? I'm sure they name every player available then when we finally sign one it's hey told you

You'd think so but milner and Golding are hooking for hudds and they're a lot better than we are

I was hoping we had moved away from signing average
