Looks like Corey Johnson is off to Halifax.

Will get get more minuted at Fax where as we might not even guarantee go a game. With Ott signed, Holmes back and Gaskell not far away, a good player will miss out.

Liam Tindall back on a months loan.

I like Tindall. Ahead of Blackmore for me as he's less prone to errors. Think Tindall is at that stage of his career where he just needs to play every week, whichever level that is.

Surprised Hull have released Tindall when he’s only just signed in the close season, and they are struggling on the pitch. They may be looking to bring another winger in, it’s good news for the Bulls, done really well in his previous spells.

Would be great to get Tindall long term. Blackmore and Taufua both OOC this year and both knocking on. In fact I think Blackmore has said this is definitely his last season. While he has a mistake in him he offers tons of go forward.

Tindall has been a bit unlucky, looked good preseason, then got injured, played 2/3 times in a struggling team and didn't do well. Think he needs a few games in the championship to regain his confidence.

Ockunbor on the other hand.......

Jayden Okunbor on loan. What a terrible terrible signing. He's been absolutely dreadful for Hull. No idea what we're thinking with this. We're getting players back so bringing people on loan again is just going to cause disruption. He's not an improvement on any of our squad.

Strange signing and one I can't get excited about at all, don't see the logic or the need behind it either. I know we've had Injury issues but we seem to be coming through that now. Obviously will support him when he's playing in a Bulls shirt.

A bit strange as you say, just signed 2 outside backs on loan when we already have 2 wingers on loan as well and we only have 1 winger injured and another who hardly played a minute in the first team.
Makes you wonder if Blackmores” injury is worse than they thought or even career ending as this is probably his last season.

Genuinely can't see Okunbor getting into your squad. He's by far the worst overseas signing I've seen for Hull, he's refused a pay off by all accounts so we just want him out the way....

Sounds like we've been shopping Tindall about too. Wouldn't be surprised to see you have him for the rest of the season. Talk of us swapping Tindall for Deon Cross from Salford next year

Ockunbor is a strange one, played 17 hates for the Bulldogs last year, so there must be a player there who could play SL, so he should do well in the championship.

Mainly played backroemw the last few seasons.

Just not sure he wants to be here, doesn't look happy, not a bad defender and regularly made 30 to 40 tackles, but seems to hardly touch the ball and doesn't look too much of an attacking threat.

Despite us being rubbish he hasn't even made the 21 squad recently, us preferring youngsters kids (that its a joke to him bsck story )instead if him and last week was dropped to the bench for the reserves.

I'd be suprised if he ever plays for Hull again.

I questioned the number of loan signings on the Bulls official Facebook page. At the forum I asked specifically asked about loans and how EOB would manage it given the problems the side had with them disrupting things early last season. Both he and Jason Hirst said there wouldn't be a revolving door on the changing room and we wouldn't be going back to the days of using 40 or 50 players a season.

Well we're up to 31 now this season IIRC. Leigh Beattie replied to my query and said "it's not EOB". That suggests someone else is signing all these loan players.

Our injury crisis couldn't be any worse. We have 10 players out injured. Of the 19 named for this week 6 have also had injuries.
Without the 4 loan players this week we would only had 15 players.

Baldwinson played reserves last week. Is he not fit for first team selection yet?

He didn't play for the reserves last night against Leeds, so possibly could have had a set back.

Hearing Salford have signed Harvey Wilson as well with immediate effect.

No setback for Baldy, he will just get better game time at Rochdale than a game in our reserves as was this week against Leeds, especially when our reserves is effectively the older end academy lads

Scurr for Okoro makes perfect sense, why play Baldy who is still trying to get back to fitness against what looks like the 2nd best side in the league currently, miles too early at the moment for JB

Ben Blackmore been released due to work commitments.
Sorry to see him go, we will miss his go forward.
Hopefully we can keep either Liam Tindall or Connor Carr for an extended period.

Cheers will start a thread for Blackmore.

Okunbor has had his loan extended by another 5 weeks.

Max Lehmann signed on for the rest of the season. If he’s anything like his best mate he should be good signing.

Started a separate thread to discuss Max Lehmann.
