Got to say I prefer Marsh at FB but would like Shaw there eventually. We have a lot of players that didn't do well last season Clarkson, Mulhern etc.. but I think they can do a job in the championship and perhaps they can 'kick on' from there as they are only young. Lets see what Mr Sheen can do with them.

If we can keep greenwood Minns Thornley Blair and I've s feeling Sio will stay Lunt already staying Id keep Dixon hopefully Mantallato and I'd resign Guzdek to play full back

That's spooky, Frankie. I was just thinking about Guzdek and then I read your post. Same DNA or what, but don't think I have a ba**ard son anywhere.

All I'll day about Salter is Minns scored more tries in the 7 play off games than Salter has ALL his career.

Dixon will score buckets full in the championship. Worth one year and who knows Sheena may sort him out.

Cockayne is finished. Losing us games and blocking kids chances.

Lunt is a huge boost and should be captain. How he wasn't over Clarkson was one of many coaching catastrophes.

Mariano has been released. Poor injury record but worth a punt? Good player and should be cheap.

Weird. I was thinking about maybe having a punt on him. He'd be a step up compared to Larroyer.

A big hard running forward you need if and it's a big if you can keep him fit.

Great minds think alike

Seems a lot of Spooky happenings in Hull these days, I wonder if Dame Edna knows about this?We could ask Spegs.

Lunt is not the player he thinks he is and is not the player he was. He had ambition to play in the NRL - instead of playing NRL he will be playing lower grade RL in a lower grade competition. He has himself to blame for that- he was on the cusp of getting a regular spot playing for his country. BUt he stopped trying to improve his game. He had a couple of nasty injuries and was never the player he had promised to be on return. He is a connoisseur of the "Lunt special" as my lad calls it, scoring from DH next to the line. He is one of the best, most accurate passers of the ball from the floor, but he got lazy with his running from dummy half- a top class hooker will run from DH! Against us earlier this year he ran just twice.
This situation he finds himself in needs to kick start his game- he's not the player he was IMO, in his early days with hudds he was being compared to Roby and talked about as No2 England hooker- now he's no where near that class - and well behind the likes of Houghton and Clark, and below Milner and the like.
If Lunt will listen to Sheens and take on board what he says, If Lunt still has ambition he could be the key for a successful season for KR. IF....

Obviously you have seen a lot of Lunt recently to have formed such a knowledgable opinion...

He's a lot more focused on his rugby since he left you to join us, apparently it's because we don't allow him to play his trumpet any more.

Scott Prince is a bit old to be coming out of retirement isn't he?

My thoughts exactly.

For me ryan shaw would be first choice for the full back position,plenty of pace and if he can catch could be a star of the future.

Staggered that Rovers are considering another old, expensive half back have no lessons been learnt? I also don't think its great for the British game that Championship clubs are now resorting to luring Aussies out of retirement. Not a dig at Rovers specifically as well by the way as HullFC have signed more than enough washed up Aussie hasbeens over the years!

How much have we offered him?

So that's why he's back in the England squad.... oh wait...

No idea, but he wont exactly be moving over here for minimum wage will he!

Tbf, as yet there's not real evidence they are.

It would be an extraordinarily leftfield option, IMO. It's not like he is recently retired, even.

Big hint from Minns on Twitter he is staying

The mole in oz is a very reliable and is rarely wrong and no smoke without fire springs to mind,but after our experience with 32yr old campese why would we be considering scott prince who would be 37 before the season starts.He last played for brisbane in 2013 before they released him due to persistent injuries.Hopefully we have learnt our lesson,but iam not holding my breath.

I spoke a Rovers sponsor yesterday, he said most will stay, halfbacks won't be kept, Walker, Sio and Blair are expected to leave and possible Greenwood.

Your current side would easily win the championship and that will give you an extra home game which could be the difference, like Leigh have done, I'd make a side good enough to win the league and then save some money for signings just before the 8's.

On another note, Lunts a good player, easily a top 8 hooker, although maybe not good enough for a top side.

I honestly can't believe the Prince rumours, you be better off keeping Campese.

I'd also look to a couple of young Hull players, either on loan or to sign them.

So you don't really know he's expensive then? Thanks that's all I wanted to know.
