It would be a struggle to attract players from bigger clubs without opening the cheque book to much (ala Kevin Brown) to entice them to move.

When Man city became cash rich they went and cherry picked the best players from teams around and below them in the league who wanted to better them selves and no doubt earn more (bit of a difference between football and rugby wages but admittedly they will earn more cash).

The likes of Lescott (everton), Barry (Villa), Milner (Villa/Toon) were signed which in turn weakening the teams below them and improved their team and chances of winning stuff. Similar to Hull Fc at the minute imo we have targeted players like Chase, Holdsworth from teams below us who will hopefully improve us further then where we are now.

Having the correct mixture of youngsters and experience coupled with good ethic, culture and believes as a team will hopefully hold us in good stead for the future and potentially deliver silverware.

All in all does his pace have to be an issue?? As previous comments stated, lyon's not a quick centre but is top notch..

People seem to be slating one of our top upcoming youngsters. It's his first season in super league and has much to learn, including positioning as twice he's done a turner and run out the line.

But been a centre doesn't mean he needs pace to succeed, thats just a bonus

From Sky Website:
Leeds Rhinos have confirmed that full-back Brent Webb has played his last game for the club after a reccurrence of a knee injury ruled him out for the rest of the season.

The 31-year-old New Zealand international joined the Rhinos in 2007 and made 155 appearances for the club. [uHe is expected to join Catalan Dragons next season[/u

Thought that this was a done deal a while back? Possibly still on the market?

Leeds are a far better side without him.

And so will Hull be...
