Crocker will give us leadership and the drive we've lacked since kearney left, he's a winner and drags people across the line with him. Lauaki will give us go forward and bite. If we add to that with a world class 7 i honestly think we will be challenging!

I think it's obvious these two would have a massive effect especially on Willie Manu who would be back to his devestating best having not to play as many minutes

fook me are you always on this board?

He is because they are winning !!

Were just the same though and thats why their board is a bit short of black and whites at the moment !!!

come on your telling me that crocker and lauakai will make us better

Nah signing a world class australian international forward would never do that would it?

Why don't you try telling us why you think they won't? You're maybe the only person that thinks this!

Lauaki is better than Dowes and Crocker is better than Radford therefore they will make us better.

Absolutley..have you seen Crocker in action ? he is a grafter, he inspires his team mates..he is a leader..he ups the anti..I have not seen much of Lauakai but he has good credentials and he will be a great asset to our forwards.

Positive thread alert



Lets face it they aint gunna make us any worse!! Lets hope they arrive here pretty quickly!!!

No cos they aint shareholders!

two players wont change the way we play

No one said they would.... but they will improve what we currently have.

i dont think they will tbh

These two players would improve the side but not necessarily in the way we are playing the game at the moment. It would still be a forward gameplan.

No but it would give us more forwards to give ten minutes and then interchange. 4 forwards on the bench, it's the future.

You know it makes sense Dan.

No I think the last thing our squad needs is 2 quality international players.

Your right Danny we want be a better team ..We will be World Beaters

I think they'll improve what we have already. I'd be suicidal if they were worse in ability and commitment to what we have now.

Them 2 in (if they get here) then ship 2 out who are to$$ing it off and just picking up wages every week. That'll make others sit up and take notice to get their fingers out or they'll be next through the gates. I'm sure Celtic would be glad of some fresh faces to try kick start their season, or perhaps our rejects could find employment in lower leagues and see what its like to do a 40 hour week and not get paid if they dont work or make the suitable standard.

Not sure it would make our gameplan different, if indeed we are playing to the coaches gameplan.

Of course they will make us improve, for one its two new faces to inlighten the Hull players spirits and Crocker is a winner and wont stop and wont let others stop slacking in order to win, Luaki will bring presence and impact, and give our forwards a much needed rest espeschially Manu.

Depends on how much 'pitch' time he gets

He'll have is work cut out here then! He is exactly what we need on the pitch, unfortunately he won't be able to tan the backsides of those that matter off the pitch.

Just on that, the only player to show any enthusiasm uder the sticks (were we spend a lot of time at the moment) is Tommy Lee.

I think Crocker's arrival would give everyone a buzz fans, players etc... together with his winning mentality it can only be positive

Even better if he can play scrum half

Both will improve us, Hame would add impact and power and would help deflect attention away from Manu as we could alternate them or play Hame on the right.

Crocker would bring steel, a will to win and professionalism to the side and he would be the leader we desperately need.

Crocker should bring the same work ethic as Kearney brought. He will not stand for any $hite. Think it will give Radders and Tickle the kick up the botty that they need. Also players will have to be on the top of their game to get a place in the team.

All this depends on whether they come and if Agar finds his 'Rugby League Coaching for Dummies' book!
