I think we are:

Warrington - Lachlan fitzgibbon
Wigan - Walters, Keighran, Chan, leeming
Leeds - Goudemond
St Helens -Mbye, Clarke
Huddersfield - George Flanagan jnr from Bradford plus probably swift
Catalan - Satae
Hull kr - Gildart
Wakefield - Griffin
Cas - Putt, Horne
Salford - singleton
Leigh - Dan norman

Swift not announced.

Singleton, Griffin, Flanagan, Horne, Mybe for this season.

Don't think Norman has signed for Leigh.

Wigan and Rovers have done alot of business for next whilst not much by other clubs.

Putt not announced.

So if you take norman out, every club bar us and Leigh has announced a signing, Horne and Griffin are for next season too

Don't think all of those signings have been confirmed.

If you stuck Tindall and Ashworth on our list would it look better than Salford or Leigh only having 1 signing.

We're all desperate for us to announce something but let's see where we are September/October time. If we've only announced Tindall or Ashworth by that time then we can start panicking.

Smith has a big chunk of cap space to play with, he needs to get the right players in, in terms of playing and the type of person they are. The players we're now linked with in aus are a good sign.

Not for next season, alot of clubs have made signings for this season though.

Griffin,Horne, Mbye and singleton all signed with deals going into next season.

So it just Leigh not to announce a signing alongside us

So did Sutcliffe, Trueman and Hoy.

It’s a fair point about Clifford though I think a lot of it is down to the change in coach and what he has brought to the club. Don’t get me wrong Swift is great and we’re gonna miss him but it should be noted he’s playing his best rugby under Smith.
Satae is still on his one the best forwards in SL but as Thursday night showed he is also very inconsistent and can be more often pretty average.

I think most players have improved in the short time that Smith has been here, the only one than seems to not have is Lane.

I doubt think it’s wrong to say but minus Griffin we have the smallest and poorest SR options so if we can improve that for next season it will be be a big improvement.

We definitely need more quality additions and to replace the players leaving with the same level of player. We’ve let Griffin & Evans go without replacing them which also doesn’t help.

Still think come pre season we will be much better but it isn’t going to happen overnight due to the mess left by both Radford & Hodgson.

They are not all confirmed so you might as well say Hull FC - Tindall and Ashworth.

Some of those are pretty uninspiring too.

In the next 5 we play 3 of the top 5 and both teams fighting for relegation. Tricky run incoming.

so Ashworth and Tindall are inspiring?
Think you can add those two to your uninspiring list

Hiku and AJ Wallace also confirmed for rovers. HDM seem to think Evalds done, but nothing confirmed yet.

But alot of signings don't get announced till end of season Clifford was October/November time iirc

But we do need atleast 8 players

Winger
Centre
Scrum half
2 props
Hooker
2 2nd rows

Hull are losing a lot of their best players and nobody of note replacing them yet.

Tony Smith sometimes signs players on big money like Vete, Sims and Takairangi so he by no means always gets it right.

We won't know for a few months yet but right now Hull FC 2024 looks weaker than Hull FC 2023.

Thanks captain obvious.

I highly doubt we’ll sign 8 players. 6 max I think.

Can see Taylor and Houghton going again for one more year.

Realistically, Shaul is replaced internally by Litten, Griffin by Scott, Evans by Brown/Gardiner. Mitch and Wynne were always a squad players and will be replaced internally too. Savelio will stay I think/hope.

That leaves:
Swift -> Tindall
Lovodua -> Ashworth
Satae -> ?
Clifford -> ?
Dwyer -> ?

On top if that I we need another SR.

Rob Burrow for one counter acts that last statement.

Rob Burrow was a scrum half and didnt play in the forwards

Yep burrows job wasn't to barge over players

Which a forwards job is to dominate their opposition!

Wow!! Its so good to have all of these experts on our forum.

Saints 18 v 6 Huddersfield h/t.

Saints 20 v 18 Hudds 71 minutes.

Need Saints to win this.

Saints have just scored at the death. Means we stay in eighth place.

FT 32-18, good result for us.

That's put us out of our misery at least
