The suspense is absolutely awful but somewhat nice for once that someone in the know hasn’t leaked it prior to the scheduled release.

[quote="PopTart":k3yydbi0]https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/hull-kr-wakefield-trinity-swap-9901961 Sorry to see Booth go if this happens but Rourke probably nudged him down the list a bit. NT is very well regarded though so not a bad deal.[/quote:k3yydbi0] I don't think this is a good deal. Noah is a future international IMO. He already carries himself on the field like an experienced pro and has bags of potential. I think we have made a mistake with this one but then again what do I know.

He's at Hunslet anyway do the club looked at a way to get something in return and it seems like we've got a promising winger as a swap. Both players are potential only right now. The last swap between the two clubs worked out well in the end despite the uproar it provoked

Hull KRs strategy on projects / youth at the minute seems to be throw enough mud at the wall and see what sticks, which not many seem to be sticking at all. If I was a young player from a development / career perspective this would be in the back of my mind.

Why is every young player that leaves us labelled a “future International” after a handful of games in which they are unable to nail down a first team spot. Way I see it his utility place in the squad has been taken by Rourke for 2025 and we are adding some depth in the squad in a position we are a bit thin. Rourke is a proven top level player in SL and of the 2 he’s the better option for Trinity going forward.

We have 4 players who are very good centres and two who can play fullback well for a few years so not sure where he is in pecking order so would go as you can't keep them all.
