RL Express reports he is 'Almost certainly' on his way to us from Cronulla Sharks..

If this is going to be Josh Jones replacement (if rumours are true about him leaving) then that is really, really underwhelming...

How would that affect our current quota places? Would this fill the space left by Albert?

I’ve not seen Scott play but he’s played 1st grade Nrl for Canberra & Cronulla.
He’s a big guy and looking at the try he scored is very mobile too. Don’t forget next season will be the 6 again rule so mobility is important.
Jones doesn’t appear keen to play for fc , if that’s the case then we move on.
I want to see us compete in every game next season
Not wondering what mindset the players have and whether the opposition will put 30 plus points on us.
If Scott is as good as his uncles then he will do for me.

Sounds like he's a good clubman who's professional and puts the graft in
Not quite first team NRL material, but some sharks fans think he'd start for lower end teams
Too good for the reserve grade over there but not good enough for the first team
If he's anything like Satae, Sao, Carlos or Faraimo yes we l have him

Really hope this isnt true, be madness to use our last quota spot on a backrower, we look ok in the backrow, but maybe need to add a bit of depth from either academy promotions or English players.

A 6 has to be a priority and I think we need to quota spot it and we only have one.

I agree
A running six is our priority even if Jones goes as expected.
There must be a young speedy half back in Australia looking to push his career along playing regular rugby in S/L.
I am confident we will find a good half back but dont understand this rumour

Mobile? thats speed and a great step he shows there
Could do with a big fast six like Blake Austin

Unless we sign British 6, which I can't see.
Maybe the club's hierarchy have already decided that Connor will be at 6

But with Shaul out, who plays FB?

Think we need to either sign a ball playing FB (Like Coote or Ratchford) and play Connor at 6 or sign a new 6.

I don't any British FB's or 6's avaiable or good enough to imrpove us, unless we are going to pay for someone like Truman (but I don't see us playing a transfer)

Maybe this signing was done prior to Shaul's injury??
Personally I'd prefer to have signed Evalds instead of retaining Shaul.
Can't see us paying a fee for any player, maybe play Wynne at 1 or McNamara at 6..
I always felt recruitment would be low key for next season, due to the ongoing pandemic..

Or maybe they’ve got the wrong Hull side.

Let's hope so and we can uncover another Hastings

If the Roosters hadn't have got rid of Flanagan, Lachlan Lam would have been a perfect signing.

Any others out if contract in the NRL?

That’s what I thought, they were targeting a second row/loose forward. And we are pretty much covered in that area. They’ve just signed a prop Albert Feet.

i thought it would make more sense to appoint a new coach first,a new coach may not rate any new signing.

.... depends who the "new" coach is, I guess, and whether the report is true.

Strange signing if true. Looking at his stats he has played the majority of games from the bench so that is where he will probably be deployed as I wouldn't like to break up the Ma'u, Savelio Cator combination. I do think we need another forward but would have thought the last Quota place would be used to sign a SO.

Looked on the Cronulla forum and the fans seem to rate him and thought he'd be retained.

Not really the only guy who I can see anyone over here going for is Mason Lino and is more of a controlling 7 than a running 6.

HDM reckon the Sorenson link is way off the mark.... https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... nk-4705110

Yeh but that article does sort of point in the direction of is us having decided on a Coach and being in a position to announce something soon and that person being responsible for signings. Which I guess is interesting in the context of the discussion on the new Coach thread.

Seems to suggest that it wont be Last - as he is at the club, in interim charge so is already in place to say yes or no on players if it is going to be his team
