The second coming of Lineham would be epic. He would thrive in our environment.

Hull Daily Mail announced Truman is leaving so odds on its him.
Very happy with him if so.

Who have you got left to announce? Rourke and Matty Russell? Not sure they are worth the hype.

Trueman not worked out for us at Hull, but then again who has recently? From our point of view it gets a big salary off our cap who we've had a poor return on. Powell got the best out of him at Cas. Good luck to the kid

I feel like he would be a good signing and he would be a quality halfback if he can string a run of games and consistency. Hopefully if he’s signed he can find that at trinity.

It’s not so much who we have signed although TJ, Nckmeeken and Storton are very good signings. It’s more the players we’ e unearthed this season who are undoubtedly SL quality players and the odd couple have the potential to be top SL players. Players like Rodwell and Uele. Doyle looks a real find. Young lads like Pratt, Smith (England u19s hooker) and Booth all have excellent potential.

Pratt has played 27 games this year and scored 14 tries and for a 19 year old looks every part a centre who should transition into SL very well. Should be a shoe in for young player of year. Looking forward to seeing them at SL level.

A lot of SL won’t have seen these players but they are plenty good enough.

As an FC supporter i really hope Trueman is coming to you
Dont wish to be unkind but he is finished as a half back
Never runs the ball and lost all the pace he had at Castleford so all you are left with is a player with a decent defence
Its not sour grapes as i will be very happy to see him go

Nobody on your own board listens to a word you say so don't expect any different on here mate. Revisit this comment in a years time, see how your getting on with his replacement who looks like he's eaten Trueman.

Hull FC, where talent goes to die.

You could probs of say that about most of the hull team this season to be fair.

Sometimes players just don’t fit some clubs yet find their feet in others.

We aren’t looking for a devastating runner of the ball either. That’s not what we need.

Trueman for 2024. Must mean Lino has gone for the season.

Or gale

Don't see why it means that but if he's not going to play for Hull, why wouldn't we get him now.

Guess thats what Hull wanted, move a player financially but not leave themselves short. He's injured anyway til the back end of the year

I agree with that bit. Just don't see why you think it means Lino out for season.

Listening to Powell after the Halifax game, he goes through the injured players, mentioning how long before they're expected to return, but with Lino they're still unsure, there's no need to push for Truman to sign for this season unless the club think Lino ain't going to be back in my view.

Think we're a club going forward with a coach looking back

Suspect you're on your own with that one, pal

Bizzare comment, because we've signed a player that Powell's worked with before? I hate to tell you this as it doesn't fit your agenda but Powell doesn't identify the players to sign, that's our recruitment manager.

Has there been a signing that alegend hasn’t moaned about yet?

Every signing that DP/ME/SM have made and has played, so far, haven't let us down. Injuries form part of the game and all players get them. Jai Field has had his fair share but I'd have him!

Parcell & Rourke to come and I think our starting 17 next year may be complete with the rest coming in to fill out the squad….although I still think another second row would be nice.

How dare he sign young talented players.

I think we have signed some very talented players for next season... there are some risks with regard to injury history... but injuries can happen anytime, to anyone.

I'm looking forward to seeing how things gel

Parcel would be a good coup for a season or maybe two. Still making very positive contributions to KR this season. Smith and Doyle could also benefit for a year.

Like has been mentioned I think if we were to sign a quality 9 then only a second row remains. Unless we renew Hood for a season and potentially extend Boothroyd who also looks like a good un at second row.

I think we'll go with

Hooker
Hood and Doyle with Smith backup

Halfback
Trueman and Russell with Lino backup

Fullback
Max with Rourke as backup

.

Don’t think Lino will consider himself back up and I’m not sure I do. Russell has a lot to prove imho, Trueman less so.

I’d be surprised if we don’t sign another hooker - plenty about - Hood knocking on and imho Smith is possibly two seasons from SL ready. Smith is talented but is really small by modern standards, so the only way he will succeed is by skill and grit and that takes time to develop. Think we might see him feature heavily in the run up to the play offs. He could be a Langer type player, but that’s asking a lot of an 18 year old, could of course be wrong.

Ok let me rephrase.
Trueman, Russell and Lino as halfbacks, best 2 on form play.

Also, Russell isn't really competing with Lino for me. He's taking Gale's place. Trueman and Lino are the similar players.
Of course they could all play both 6 and 7 but that's how I see it.

And Russell was selected for England Knights and is playing SL right now. So maybe he has to prove his form, but not his talent.
