I’d hope we are talking to Hardaker rather than Shaul. Hopefully Shaul is staying at Hull.

Every club has limited funds. We have more room for movement than any other club currently. In terms of ability on the pitch there’s little contest between Hardaker and Shaul.
I’d like Hardaker for centre but I don’t think Shaul is any better than what we have and I’d rather funds go to improving positions in the first team. Shaul would be a waste for me. He’s just not necessery imo. Who ever we bring in must be an improvement on the position. We could do with a couple of utility/young players though for back up/rotation.

I’d agree, wouldn’t touch Hardaker myself but then we said that about Westerman.

So do I and frankly not as useful.
But sometimes coaches feel team needs a little bit of edge.
If we signed him I’d back the coach but personally he strike me as a horrible person.

I would prefer the third option, a relitively unknown that comes along and proves to be a real diamond. Those are the players that our club have regularly uncovered in the past. With the smart people we now have in the coaching department ,i feel confident they could get such a player

Tend to agree.
Expect the quota players to have reps. However I expect a fair few left field relatively uknown British players.
The sort good coaches know how to spot, second chancers and late developers.

If we can release Shaul we will, we have an NRL FB signed, Connors will be replaced by a 7.
Think Shaul was a done deal under Poachimg, looks less likely now.

No doubt Proctor has been a quality player in his time… but will be 34 by next season … certainly not as effective in 22 as previous seasons .

| England in any sport are at there best when written off. Wane now has to keep them feeling that way, the moment we believe we are gods gift we are stuffed.
Great result all the same, didn’t see that scoreline in a million years.

| Yes really suprised me that one, well played 1 to 17.
However only one Yorkshire club player in the 17 and he is a Lancastrian.

| Shocked me totally… that’s not what I’ve seen from this quality group of Samoan players this year… the passion of the Siva Tau wasn’t translated into structure or energy on the pitch… it was like they’d been told to run one out and overpower the English… and when that didn’t work … and their back were to the wall they collapsed!
That said the English team very well(we lost the feed in Australia for almost half an hour in the second half and the game was won by the time it came back)
The edges were excellent and the middle stood up and pushed the Samoans back
So much that I actually wonder if they can recover from that..:
have to feel for the injury to May… that looked nasty and the tackle looked much like the ‘hip drop’ putting dangerous body weight on already stretched joints…

I think due to covid the NRL and SL have lost track of each other. It’s been the general consensus that the NRL is light years ahead. It is ahead let’s not get carried away but not as far as was feared by many.
I for one never thought the quality of SL had fallen, I think we’ve produced some great games and great players in the last few years.
We can compete and with supreme effort maybe even win. We are not the best but in our day we can match them.
Good luck lads, a great start, can’t ask for more.

So?
Does it matter where they come from if they qualify and have pride in the shirt?

To me they are just names. Doesn’t mean they are what we need no matter how good they have been.
I think Trinity in the past like many clubs just filled quota spots for the sake of it.
For me if they are not exactly what we want then leave it. Fill the quota spot as and when the right player becomes available.
It worked with Tupou, Fifita and Tanginoa. In fact most of our best overseas players arrive mid season and unheralded.

Apologies, seen a few having a moan about the Lancashire dominance which I find frustrating especially after such a positive start by the England squad.
