Any truth in the rumour that Tim Smiths training with you. I've heard it from several people but not seen anything and the last I heard is he had retired.

Maybe confusing him with Lee Smith?

Pryce, Sneyd, Abdull, Tuimavave, HTW and Dean. If it were true, there would be no need for him imo.

By all accounts we're looking for a new full back after a big fall out between Radford and Shaul.

Interesting one. Short term Naughton might get pushed up the pecking order?

Possibly. I just hope Radford doesn't sign up Lee Smith for full back. Carlos is another option and from the few clips I've seen he can link up the play from the back.

Get the feeling Smith will be signed barring disasters in the friendlies. Been lots of articles on him training with us. Think we need Carlos in the centres.

Could put Fonua and Logan centres and Michaels and Talanoa wingers.

We've got some options, I'd put Lancaster on the wing personally. Looks a different physicality to 2014, pace to burn and good try return.

Agreed about Smith. Heard Radford earlier in the week on Humberside and it was pretty clear the only issue seemed to be a financial one (probably how much he wants to how much we think he's now worth).

Looks that way. Could also be that we wouldn't move anyone on for him so cap could be an issue?

For me Fonua, like Talanoa has to be on the wing. I think he will cause carnage with Logan or Carlos inside him.

If its true about Radders and Shaul then Naughton should be the one to step in and make a name for himself. I wouldnt waste my time with Smith, had a couple of good seasons at Leeds but a bit like aspinwall is more suited to the pack now imo.

"If" true about Shaul and Radders then hope Naughton gets a shot at 1.Wasnt Shaul supposed to have been stroppy last season as well so has a history of it.We should have kept Rankin and got rid of Shaul

Hopefully not a negative about Hull

There's a story in tomorrow's @leagueexpress that will rock #rugbyleague to its very core. You CANNOT miss this if you're a fan of the sport

‏@leagueexpress
Trust us, you really CANNOT miss this.

I always worry. Cos it is usually is!

I too hope it has nothing to do with us, especially after all the positivity lately, it's the last thing we need. Is their anyone who can add anymore info to the story. Maybe albert kelly in bother

probably will be, pre season has gone far too swimmingly for it not to be.

True



How bad would it have to be to "rock the sport to its core" though? Unless it's a slight exaggeration, of course.

Another tweet from someone at Total RL

Good grief. The lead story in @leagueexpress this week is going to send the game into meltdown. Rugby league fans cannot afford to miss it!

If you're a fan of the sport, I can't imagine anyone wanting to hear bad news, but the press probably don't see it that way.

On reading that a few times I also changed my view to this aswell. Surely not bad news. Sounds like it could be good for the game.

surely it would say send the game into 'ecstasy' 'rapture' or something similar if it was good news 'meltdown' smacks of serious stuff that will cause chaos to me unless someone as was said is exaggerating and I don't think they are, intriguing really but of course just L E trying to sell papers! anyone got any idea!

What would "rock RL to its core" is Barwick and Nigel Wood head to head in a Sumo session.
I can't think of anything to do with our club would be big enough with regard to the whole of RL

A big name player having to retire? Player failing drug test? A sl club (again) falling into financial trouble?
