just said on humberside hull in for him following situation at bulls.hoping to complete deal by end of week.for me would be a good signing.definatley a prop short,knows the club,winning mentallity and wealth of experience.

Not sure about a player returning, but on a 1 year deal will give the younger props in the team more time to mature. Just hope he stays relatively fit then it could be a good deal for us.

Have you really room under the cap for a big earner like him? Surprised if you have at this late stage.

Joined on a 2 year deal to Bulls, doubt he'd be looking to leave to just a 12 month deal. Seems a bit of strange one, feeling here is that he settled in well at the Bulls and is a popular squad member. Our chairman made a statement a couple of days ago stating players no longer needed to be sold and the 1st team was ring fenced now.

So I guess we'll have to wait and see if anything drastic has changed! Out of interest, what's Pitts like?

Think it will be two years, forget his time at hull, he has a very good recent fitness record. Can't blame him for wanting to secure his future for last two years of his career.

Pitts is solid, nothing else, we have plenty of cover and lots of young kids coming through, like Brad Fash.

I rate Pitts highly actually. Unfortunately for him second row is the area we are strongest and he is too light for prop. If you need a back rower he would do well for you. Good grafter but with plenty of skill aswell.

Meeting Rest of the squad at the training ground tomorrow. From a player.

Humberside tweeted they dnt think it will happen as they cant agree personal terms. Bet thats his mrs then lol

No said due to personal reasons

Hope he signs would be a welcome addition to our squad.

Cant/due still think it will be his mrs

Said May not happen.

Watts out for 6 weeks, but good news is Green should be OK for first game

Good news on Green, didn't look that way on Sunday.

So Humberside say no deal on Carvs, that probably means done deal then! Oh well good rumour while it lasted

I remember when he did a u-turn on our club, i am glad hes not returning.

If it was the misses he wouldn't have entered talks.

The kid you want to be keeping an eye on from the back row is Jansin Turget. For a 17 year old the kid has a freakish physique, clearly has good genetics. Players like Fash and Kent are both too small imo for the back row.

As for Carvell, when this was brought up months ago I said no to him returning. Back as things stand now, I think he'd be a good option for the club to look at. Watts does nothing with ball in hand and even Bowden has taken over him for my liking. Big year ahead for Green and Bowden.

Paea
Feka
Carvell
Green
Bowden
Watts

Looks decent to me.

wasn't she the reason he did a u-turn that she wanted to be back west?

Yeah he was playing the field......& i dont mean KC

Guess we will have to see about Fash, thought he looked very good against Donny and didn't look out of place against Bradford and Rovers.

Must be doing something right to be getting all these call ups. Thought he looked a good size when I've seen him.

Like the look of Turgett also, but Fash has stood out more in the friendly games.

Who has made this rumour up then ?

Disappointed that we can't make it happen. Had a very good season for Warrington last year and impressed at Bradford pre season. Would have been great for a year whilst Green, Bowden and BTW develop.

Hope we don't sign him. Past. Fooked us over, move on play a kid. Short term "glory" never worked for FC. Long term gain was the supposed plan, so lets do that. Fook Carvell.

He'd be ok for a season but it's hardly what we want is it? Only a few weeks ago we didn't need anyone else , the squad had depth the youngsters were the way forward etc etc and now reality has set in and we're looking to sign a 33 yo prop just because he might be available. We'd be better spending some time looking at the championship and trying to find a big raw rough @rsed prop and trying to develop him. The 2 props at Featherstone looked more like props than anyone we had on the field at the weekend. With the exception of Bowden who I think may be OK this or next year we've got no one else that looks any where near ready to come through and I still remain far from convinced about Green.

For those asking me about Garreth Carvell returning to Hull FC, full story in tomorrow's HDM and on our website sometime after midnight.

www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Exclusiv ... story.html Seems Bradford are the only thing in is way. I would welcome him back no problem. He is still a very good prop with great experience, plus a great pair of hands. Really hope he signs.
