Is anyone else slightly worried about our recruitment for next season?

We have Paea signed up and seems odds on that Thompson is also coming. I'm slightly underwhelmed. Saints and Rovers are announcing some decent names but we seem to be targeting more Cas players that are not going to take us to the top 4

Season pass info comes out this month n on sale next so I'd expect signings to be announce end of month onward. Maybe in Wembley week.
Heard a few rumours of a top class 2nd row which could make sense.
Got some prospects there but a couple of injuries and we'd look light there

I can't see Hodsworth wanting to retyurn to Salford since he left them because they owed him money which they couldn't pay.

I don't think any signings will be announced until after Wembley.

We are losing some good players at the end of the season and they need to be replaced with equally good, if not better players, if we are to have a more successful season next year than this.

I've mentioned previously that I believe Pearson has learnt his lesson from last season, ie far to much talk regarding signings and quite a few not materialising. This year the club have kept everything to themselves and rightly so imo, they'll announce signings when they are complete this time around.

Shame we missed out on Mose Masoe. He would have been a fantastic impact prop for us. Would be happy if we could tempt Broughton back, to replace TB. If he hasn't already signed for Huddersfield.

Rovers signings are that good and have been overhyped.

Weyman is injury prone, he was injured again this week or dropped.
Costigan is an average backrow forward works hard, but their are SL players who would do a similar job, such as Dale Ferguson.
Keating is a good runner, but no where near as good as Dobson.

Player for player they will be worst off than this year.

They are linked with Amor, he would be a very good signing and I hope that we are in for him, would be a much better signing than Walker, think he nearly signed for us last year.

Just heard we turned Pettybourne down as we've already signed another back rower.

Weyman's got a neck injury Dave, out this week as well.

Thank God

I would assume that would be Jordan Thompson

Don't think it will be. Think it'll be big name ish.lynch definitely off so need some experience in the pack with what's going.
Paea, Bowden, green, walker, watts, Pitts, Johnston n waller on trial makes me wonder if well sign another prop(would/should go for amore)
Only 3 frontline 2nd rows outside of youngsters n prospects.

Have we definately signed Walker??

Straight swap for lynch as I know of.

Don't know mate, would presume we've got a "big name" back rower.

How are we for non fed players now?

McDonnell
Holdsworth
Miller
Paea

1 more to come in?

Martyn Sadler has tweeted this link to out of contract NRL players. Who might we may interested in (realistically)? IMO the priority has to be a prop or second row. www.foxsports.com.au/league/nrl- ... 6692693710

There is only Sonny Bill off that list that would appeal - in a position that we need. No chance of him coming to SL though.

Mind you, Clarkey did say that McRae was attempting to pull off a big signing, one that would make Clarkey snog McRae if it happened



Also - we have seen a lot of times, NRL players that have 1 year left being released so that club can bring somebody in, so that list isnt the be all and end all

Could Hock be the big name signing for us?

Can't see it myself I reckon Salford would be his first port of call, obviously not too fussed where he is playing just wasnts to be home.

But if he's available I'd hope we are enquiring. Would be the best player available in the off-season by far.

Experienced, quality & would add a bit of mongrel to the pack!

Just been reading that myself, big miss by Parra, I get the impression our recruitment is nearly complete so no space for Hock.

Salford.

Hock, no thankyou

Agreed. Undoubted talent but can't stand him.

Surely now he's remaining in England, Wigan would want a fee?

Didn't hock want to jump ship to Hull last year?.
Good player but a liability as well.
No doubt end up at Salford.

Yeah, apparently Lenaghan wouldn't let him go to a potential play off rival.

I'd have Scott Bolton from Cowboys, Ben Pomeroy and Korobiete.

@DCravenYPSport: Peter Gentle talks about his bid to make Michael Dobson a Hull FC star in tomorrow's @yorkshirepost #hullfc #hullkr #rugbyleague

What's this about?
