Because these deals have already been done before Myler came in? First and foremost, the main priority is the head coach, no point signing players a manager doesn’t want, if Hull was signing players before the coach came in then there would be people moaning at that too, Hull are where they are, a good coach and letting him pick his own players and style are the only way of getting out of this mess,

Myler has a tough job, but so far I’d say he’s doing well, moved 3 big earners off and getting some experience in to help protect the young lads, his biggest task is nailing that head coach..

Would be a great signing, not without it's risk, but I don't see a better domestic option.

Like I say seems a lot better for this season but they’re still having to to try and pay clubs to take big earners like Bateman and Sullivan reminds me very much of Hull recently, especially looking at the players that have come through their system and let go as well as the horror signings. Hopefully we’ve both turned a corner.

On Bateman specifically, if you believe the figures the Aussie press are saying another back rower isn’t our top priority but he would still be decent value IMO. I read yesterday that Wests are willing to pay 300K Aussie dollars of his 600K salary (just north of 150K) if he wants to stay in Aus though he’s every right to dig his heels in.

Ok I fancy Cade Cust to be a real.good signing for us. Just got a feeling he could be a bolter for us this year

I wasnt sure when signed him. Using a bench spot on a quota player with a lot to prove was a risk. However, from the videos seen in social media. He looks sharp.

In Sutton and Bateman. I would take them both for the right price. If the tigers and and bulldogs are willing to pay a large chunk of their salary wage they’re worth it. Non quota experienced players with a lot to prove.

Moley seems to think there is at least two NRL sides interested in Bateman, imagine any chance of him staying in SL are pretty low
