So another deadline comes and goes, it’s like pass the parcel, one says one thing another says something else, think we can safely say when we have is what we are going with

Kear said he hoped to have something done by Xmas and recently said he is waiting for a team to confirm, who else said anything?

Its Hull FC but we are waiting on them to confirm if they want to go down the Dual Reg route.

Strong competition from Batley for the Hull FC dual registration spot.

Looks like Bradford have got it, think it will work both ways, with some Bradford players playing for our reserves.

Yes, in the Pulse interview with John Kear I did yesterday, he gives an update on the dual registration situation.

Is this interview on line yet?

Wouldn't be surprised to see Cameron Scott getting a fair bit of game time with us. Obviously came through our academy before our latest financial oblivion, he's from Bradford and we're in need of a centre.

I wanted us to try and re-sign him. Another academy prospect, a bit like Joe Brown, that showed great potential but can't get a look in at the SL club they moved to.

How many loan players do you have already.

1

2nd row/centre loan options would be handy

It's two isn't it? Rooks and Milnes. And then we've some coming from Leeds but not sure of numbers or personnel yet.

At centre you would be looking at Cameron Scott or Keiran Buchanan. Second row maybe Jordan Lane or Joe Cator. There's also a young up and comer called Gareth Ellis who might not always be first choice for Hull.

Ah yeah sorry mate forgot about rooks

Lane or Cator would add massively to our pack. Cator was very good for leigh last year.
Scott would always be welcome back local lad who can produce at this level

Scott has done a decent job whenever called upon at SL level but I think he lacks the pace to ever be a top centre and his future might be in the second row if he has the work rate for it. He is still really young though so I aren't writing him off yet. At this moment I think Buchanan is the better centre.

Took a while to negotiate but finally over the line. Good decision for me.

I hope it works out for both clubs. With a fully fit squad there will be some good players that won't be in our 17 so will be interesting to see if players like Bureta Faraimo pull a Bulls shirt on, or will it be the younger guys like Wynn, Scott, Brown and Buchanon.

Liam Harris would be a welcome addition should Milnes or Lilley be unavailable. Looking at Hull's squad, when all are fit I think there's every chance of an Adam Swift or Matty Dawson-Jones being available, as well as likes of Cameron Scott for the three quarters. You would assume likes of Faraimo, Tuimavave, Griffin, Fonua & Naulago would be ahead of them. Even after them, players like Connor Wynne and Kieran Buchanan are likely to improve our current options. Lewis Bienek may also be a possibility in the forwards.
All good players. Hull have a really good squad this year, so I think there were definitely worse options to partner with.

Id imagine of the 3 that will be in on Sunday, 1 will be a second row and 1 a centre.

With Hallas hobbling round in a protective boot last night and George banned we are light in the no 9 as well.
I dont know what hulls hooking depth is like as i believe Houghton is injured at the min.

He is. And looking at the first team squad, after Houghton there's only Jordan Johnstone who's a recognised hooker. One of the halves could play there, but even the likes of Dean Hadley who's played there a little before have left the club. Downside of having such a quality first option is that your backups end up moving on.

Thomas Doyle and Jordan Lilley to share hooking role. Liam Harris to come in on dual reg?

I wouldnt have thought kear will want lilley in there.
And Harris is.currently injured so thats a non starter.

Probably Doyley for.an hour then give young Berry the last 20
