I agree starting with Doyle with Parcell off the bench is improving the squad for SL. Nothing against Hood but I don’t think he offers as much….Griffin as impact second row for a year aswell.

Not very well ,the more i see him I think is he the best we can do . He is 24 should be showing he is a S L player looks Championship to me

The only second rower I'd keep is Griffin. As good as they've been, it's time to move Pitts and Ashurst on. Both are Championship standard at best these days. Storton is just the kind of signing we need. Solid, nothing flashy and hard working. Whether that'll be at prop or second row, I'm not sure.

Pretty sure that Storton is a second row. He’s mainly started there or come off the bench there. He has played a few at prop but not many.

We have Uele, Rodwell, Atoni, Mckmeeken, Vagana at least so I can’t see him playing prop.

Speaking of props. Is Shaw signed up next season?

Not heard anything on George King lately but I wouldn’t mind seeing him back in a trin shirt next season.

Personally I thought playing out of position he was one of Hiddersfields better performers especially seeing him getting stuck into the tackling

Be interesting to see what happens to the French guy who got put on report was a red card to me

I thought I saw a trip by a Leeds player, early in the first half when he dropped the ball and recovered by Huddersfield. He certainly raised his leg and made contact but it was not commented on at anytime.

Nathan Cleary would look gash in that team at the minute wouldn’t he. Adam Clune looks lost. Russel tackled anything and everything, that elbow from Lisone would have knocked a lot of players out yet Russell still hung on. Looking forward to seeing him with ball in hand with us.

Top teams have halfbacks that can defend as they are targeted so much.
He and Trueman will work well together.

TRL are reporting that Tom Johnstone has a fractured fibia.

Totally agree. There’s no point in been a wizard with the ball in hand but a turnstile in defence. All top line half’s have great defence. If Truman signs that has the potential to be a potent combo.

Sam Lisone is Samoan not French.

Nitpicker

Well he looks twice as good as Trueman. who was extremely poor and looked totally disinterested against Catalan

Agree PB.Not sure about Trueman.Needs to show a lot more,especially a running game if we're paying big bucks.

I don't agree. Trueman would be the best stand off we've had in a long time.

He was playing behind a well beaten pack which probably didn't help.

I don't agree, the young hull half alongside him looked miles better I thought and he was behind the same pack. My only hope is that he really wants out of hull badly and therefore just going through the motions

Just how many, and which, new players have we actually signed up for next season?

Well if the rumours in hull are true can’t imagine he’s overly bothered about hull losing as he’s already signed for Wakefield and is leaving this season in about a month .

Thought he was going to be one of best stand offs in game, but injury has largely defeated him for a couple seasons. Yes he was doing a lot of organising, the Rooney inside pass and not much doing against Catalan. But he is a quality player and if true is a big step from where we are now

Confirmed:

Tom Johnstone (Catalans)
Mike Mckmeeken (Catalans)
Oliver Russell (Hudds)
Corey Hall (Hull Kr)

So far are confirmed for next season as new signings.

Rumoured:

Marty Storton (Hull Kr)
Jake Truman (Hull Fc)

Personally I’d like to see us look at George King at Hull KR as i think he’d be a good prop signing to finish off our prop forwards for next season.

Add cam Scott aswell

Also Matty Russel has been widely rumoured

I still think that’s a mix up with Ollie Russell as they surfaced around same time.

It's not mate and Fwiw i think he will prove to be a decent signing as a utility back.
