I believe so and Doyle too following the media reports

Yes I agree. I think it said at the bottom of the announcement

You two grow up and act like grown ups please. From what I gave seen we have paid a small fee for a couple of players which we have not been able to do over last few years so another big positive for me.

Also myles Lawford not officially named yet by trinity and only my opinion but I have enjoyed the surprise announcements direct from them and have looked forward to them. Just think it is a bit of a shame when leaked elsewhere first.

Lawford looked promising for us but never got a run in the first team. It'll be interesting to see how much 1st team rugby he gets at Trinity.

So has there been an official announcement?

Nothing on Facebook or YouTube.

I'm not sure this one is big enough for an individual announcement, without trying to be disrespectful.
I'm sure they will but its not an 8.00 count down type one for me.

Sorry pop tart disagree. Every player we sign deserves the headline. The position we are in every player we sign must be ready for the championship, sure we will not be signing someone not to play. Remember it is a team sport not individual

I don't disagree in terms of playing. We shouldn't sign someone not ready to play. I was just meaning the marketing team might not push his name quite as hard as say a McGillivray.
But then that's why I'm in IT and not Marketing probably.

Now there's a phrase that hasn't been used very often when talking about Trinity...is it the first time we've ever had one ??

We've definitely had people that do it.....but a marketing team implies experience and skills and I'd say we've stepped up a few notches.

You had Lee Gaskell keeping him out though.

We had that problem last year and he was bad ,and I can say we tried 4\or 5 half to replace him ,whith out been successful lol .Looks to me like Powell as brought in a young scrum - half, a young stand - off and a young hooker,so is planning for the future. Question is does it do any thing to push us for promotion, Will be interesting to find out

Gaskell has looked very good for us in the championship and Lawford was extremely unlikely to replace him. When we had injuries he didn't get in either, even though a few Bulls fans thought he was worth a shot.

He's quick, good on his feet and can kick goals. He needs to work on his strength as he's very small but that's easier in a full time environment. Good luck to the kid - apart from when he plays against Bradford.

I'm glad he's thinking of both though.
I liked that bit of the interview where he said they were agreeing contracts for 2025 as well as 2024.

I've no idea how it will go as we haven't kicked a ball yet but Powell seems to be building for the long term and and not making the mistake of giving old players long contracts. Some signed for just one year to get us to top of Championship. Some signed longer. Some signed to start in SL in 2025 (which I'm sure won't be released for a long time yet)

Who is the stand-off that we have signed ?

He's one for the future imho, I don't think he will feature much next season. He's joined us for the FT environment as much as anything else, that makes a huge difference to a young player, not dissimilar to Doyle.

I’m also curious about this.

Yes. It would be a shame to see him go but that would be a good move for him.

Anyone know who the stand off is?

Myles Lawford?

Jarome Luai apparently....

I think he's been mentioned before but Joe Lovodua doesn't seem to have a club yet after leaving Hull.
Could be an option for us at half back and back row

I do wonder about Corey Hall too.
Not sure if a dual reg with Wigan stops ys getting loans from elsewhere but when Hull Live go through the starting line up he's is no where near.
They have 4 ex Trinity players in the pack too. And that doesn't include Hadley.
