Il bet it's a reserve grade player, like Carlos, Faraimo , not much knowledge of reserve grade so couldn't throw names about.

From what I've read in the Nikorima saga, I don't think it'd be a bad idea signing his brother Jayden who judging by the NRL forum comments sounds like he has talent, that's if we don't sign Kodi Nikorima

I think I read Jayden had some issues with substance abuse, and perhaps that would create visa problems.

David Mead’s left Catalans. Surely we must be signing him, nailed on, done deal blah blah blah

I agree.
These days, with scrums being a farce at best and hopefully a thing of the past, what really is the difference between a Prop and a Second Rower; a Scrum Half or Stand Off.

In the modern game, only wingers, centres, full backs and hookers have a specific position. Scrum Half, Stand Off and Loose Forward can stand in whichever part of the line, depending upon the move. Everyone else is free to play however the Coach sets them up.

You could list all of Hull’s forward’s. Most we would expect to drive forward within a Set. Some we might look to run out wider and some we might expect to offload.

At the end of the day, Rugby League positions have become a bit like Mexican food. As Billy Connelly once said, you can order a Fajita, an Enchilada, or a Burrito. The tortilla is folded differently, but ultimately all taste the same.

Or.....he's on trial at Brisbane with Albert Kelly to earn a deal

Reynolds would do a great job in sl, be a fans favourite to, plays with plenty of passion

He was offered to SL teams earlier in the year. Wigan were apparently interested but went for Field instead.

He's on a wedge at Wests and they want to move him on. Would be expensive and hasn't played a lot of NRL the last few years.

St George wanted to move Corey Norman on.

He's more of a running 6/full back that we would be after. Ooc 2021 so we could maybe get him on an early release.

Not long to wait until we know guys

FWIW I think he would be a great signing. Bit of a maverick and there were rumours earlier this year of a swap deal with Warrington for Widdop, but he's rumoured to be on the equivalent of 425k a year there

Been distinctively average, in an admittedly poor Dragons side this year.

He had a good start at the Dragons. Admitted he's been out of form this year, but so have most of there squad.

Maybe he needs a fresh start on the east coast.

There was a newspaper report at the start of the year where he said he definitely wouldn't go to England as it is too cold!

Last guess now



Nicho Hynes reserve half/full back for the Storm.

Hes 24, too good for the Queensland cup going by his trys and assists over the last few seasons, ooc for 2021

Has Munster, Hughes, Papenhuyzen and Johns in front of him

Was in the first team 13 times this season culminating in being on the bench for the Grand Final.
Looks destined for better things at the Storm (and his hair is too long).

Someone to get excited about?

I don't know the name - genuinely. A lot of secrecy about it, they don't want leaks - I assume to tie it in with Hodgson arriving, or pass renewal announcement etc.

Should find out early next week hopefully.

Kinda hoping it's a Nikorima as its gone very quiet on him

If they don't post a video of Brett getting a lift home from the airport & it shows a new #6 driving him at the end then I'm going to be very disappointed in them for the missed opportunity.

All I’ve heard is that Brett Kimorley is flying them over here.

Hope he makes a better job of getting to Hull than last time he was due here!

I can picture the video in my head now, with the player saying something cheesy like "We got work to do boss."

Brent Read in Aus suggesting we are in for Josh Reynolds. Hodgson will know him well from Wests. He's currently on a massive wedge but probably won't get another deal past his currently one. Final Weekend Read of the year: Big Nelson steps up pursuit of Darcy Lussick; Smith inundated by job offers; Reynolds might be next on Hodgson shopping list; Lodge unfairly criticised and Rapana set to stay in nation’s capital https://t.co/KXX8jwetor

Reynolds may be back in Super League sights

Brett Hodgson and Hull FC are clearly looking to make a big splash with a marquee signing. Having missed out on Benji Marshall, there would appear few options left.

Perhaps Josh Reynolds will come back on the radar. A few months ago, when there was talk about Reynolds leaving the Tigers with one year remaining on his deal, Super League was mooted as a potential destination.

Hodgson knows Reynolds well. He has been on the coaching staff at the Tigers in recent years, a time when injury has often curtailed Reynolds.

There is a school of thought that when fit, he is the sort of player who would take Super League by storm in much the same way that Blake Austin did when he went overseas.

It would be no surprise if Hodgson looked his way.
