Looks like it will feel more like “home “ this year

Not to mention last year too much, but Liam Tindall has signed for London. I make that 5 out of the 9 players signed ahead of the 2024 season now in the Championship, Diakhate and Nu Brown are free agents too

'new coach - investor & Adam - new signings ' Do we think it's maybe time for a new thread?

[quote="Offy86":3d6pc89o]'new coach - investor & Adam - new signings ' Do we think it's maybe time for a new thread? [/quote:3d6pc89o] Probably time for a new thread yeh but I like the idea of having a more business focused thread for off field stuff the club is doing.

Well that's a no for Matty Lees as he's signed a new deal at Saints

[quote="Dave K.":2emirw5t]Can't wait for the Netflix series.[/quote:2emirw5t] Until then, there’s always the BBC’s ‘Trouble at the Top’ programme from c1998, that you should be able to find it in the usual place. Plays out the story of Hull KR struggling in Administration (amazingly their crowds of under 2k weren’t classed as sell outs in those days). Also shows the back story of Tim Wilby’s attempt to buy and merge the two clubs. It’s an interesting watch with quite a bit of FC reference and footage.

Big test for Myler, got to work some magic and bring in a player or two that will improve us. We all knew the squad was thin and have since released two players. Not going to be easy though.

I hope it isn't the case but if Sao is out for the season, could he be deregistered to open up a quota spot, then resign him for next season off quota?

[quote="DarksideDave":3h0vjbdz]I hope it isn't the case but if Sao is out for the season, could he be deregistered to open up a quota spot, then resign him for next season off quota?[/quote:3h0vjbdz] Not sure if he’d still be off quota if he’s deregistered but I wouldn’t be looking to resign him anyway, especially if it is a season ending injury.

I would also let him go at the end of the season. 33 later this year. I think we need to look for a younger replacement personally.

[quote="Rugby Raider":2y6vv9wc]I agree. I thought Carty had hinted that we might be bringing in someone this week. 5 of our best 17 missing once Ligi had gone off last night.[/quote:2y6vv9wc] When was this hinted at?

[quote="Hasbag":1ei73dt8]I would also let him go at the end of the season. 33 later this year. I think we need to look for a younger replacement personally.[/quote:1ei73dt8] Agree best days are behind him

[quote="Blackandwhitebigdog":2qjub2uv]When was this hinted at?[/quote:2qjub2uv] In his interview last week whilst talking about the squad, I thought he’d said that we’d be stronger this week, but it sounded that there may be through squad signings, not just returning players. I can’t find the clip and I may have I misinterpreted what was said. However, hopefully we get some additional re-enforcements soon.

[quote="DarksideDave":1xq1xtb1]I hope it isn't the case but if Sao is out for the season, could he be deregistered to open up a quota spot, then resign him for next season off quota?[/quote:1xq1xtb1] Satae is also off quota next season.

The injuries in the pack are a problem. We at least need to go find a prop and second row imo. The problem is that we don't really have the youngsters coming through in the pack. If we have a lot of injuries in the backs we have Moy, the Kemps, Charles, even Westerman who I'm confident could all hold their own. In the pack I don't think any of them are ready, particularly in the front row.

If Sao isn't retained I think we need two established props to rotate with Ese Ese, Aydin and Ashworth (plus Fash & the kids), two second row to complement Cartwright, Lane and Holmes not up to it IMO and at least one centre to partner Hardaker. Don't think anyone believes Chamberlain is anything but a squad player. That's minimum additions if we're going to continue to improve.

Wainhouse not fit enough for a bench spot?

Who's actually available though that would add something? Is there anyone from the championship worth putting a transfer bid in for?

DT article saying that the club are looking to bring in reinforcements, possibly even before Fridays game. The logistics of that 2 games in without a quota spot just seems impossible to bring in any long to even mid term signings, isn’t going to happen without some serious transfer fees offered and even then who’s going to want to sell players at this stage? My guess is maybe a couple of loans or the free agents mentioned on here previously like Livett, Johnson or Royle.

Livett makes a break both times if he was put through the same gap that Fash was on Friday
