I could see us with Josh Simm next year.

I'd had him over Mcintosh, but don't think he was very good and would rather develop Martin and Barron.

We have Mcintosh, Martin, Barron, probably Swift and Mitch too, so whilst I'd like a winger, our pack has to be where we spend our money.

Need a back half too, if the club don't think Harman or Medforth will be ready.

Said many times McNamara will never make a S/L halfback.
Kicking game from hand is poor and the lack of pace will always hold him back.
He will end up in Championship playing nine

I liked him
he could be a far better centre than anything we have now at the club
Bit of size to him and has what we lack in most of our players pace

Only way he and the likes of Trout will come, if we offer than a good increase on their currents clubs offer, but I'd be ok with that for these types of players and we will have a big chunk of cap to play with, alot more than Hudds and Leeds.

Trout and Walters could set us up for the next 10 years. You'd imagine Hill would leave Hudds this season to give them some more wiggle room in the cap.

We should be targeting 1, ideally 2 experienced forwards from the NRL. JWH and Frizell are on my wishlist but I know i need to lower my demands

Put aside your dire financial situation and an owner under severe pressure coupled with concerns regarding your rent lease at Hull City’s ground what players would be attracted to Hull FC.
Too much financial insecurity, a fickle fan base and an owner who sacks a head coach live on TV before consulting with him.

Maybe players who want to sign for a club who won a trophy since their parents were born, Keith.

Catalans look set to sign Matt Ikavalu, he's more of a winger but think he'll play centre. They seem to have a lot of cap tied up on first choice wingers. Davies, Yaha, Johnstone and now Ikavalu.

Would be tempted to see if Davies wants to swap the South of France for Hull Marina

Wouldn't mind Halton from Rovers see he has been dropped this week.I wonder

Be nice wouldn't it? Ikavalu is a powerful runner , I'd have him at Hull, but whenever I've seen him, particularly at the Roosters, wing was his position, he hasn't much else to his game, so I think he'll struggle at centre but I'd take any of the Catalan wingers over ours to be honest, I reckon Yaha will be the one they'd release, although he's a crowd favourite, he's not getting picked ahead of TJ in reality.

Catalan love signing rooster's players! Maybe if Tomkins knee is shot, they're planning to play Keighran at 6 for the rest of the season and Ikavalu at centre to replace him?

Yaha is injured atm. Think he did his shoulder in pre season. Can see Davies being the odd one out. Rumours Leeds were after him before he signed an extension at Catalans.

Agree on Ikavalu. Might be more suited to centre in SL though.

Re Davies, think he would add much needed pace to our back line and tend to agree that he'd be the most likely to miss out when Yaha is back fit.

Carries the ball really strong too. Good finisher.

Far too good for us

It'll be a sad end to Tomkins career if he can't get up and running this season. Love watching him play.

Either Davies or Yaha would be massive upgrades on what we currently have, I do think a winger is probably our 4th biggest priority atm, with Prop, SR and Hooker more important areas of recruitment imo

Wouldn't it be great if we could get a real warrior mentality back into the team? Some props with fire and skill, like JWH or O'meley ? There are some big lads playing championship and NSW cup rugby. We need to be begging Motu Tony and or Brian Smith, to scout some good lads for us . Remember him getting Brian Blacker and turning him into a decent player who always played with passion. Would never have thought it at the time, think we got him and Russ Walker, from Barrow. Some pride and aggression is what we badly need, skill would be nice, but no more show ponies. If it wasn't for the fact that relegation would probably kill us , I'd almost be relieved watching Hull playing winning rugby again, even in The Championship. Then we'd have to clean out the whole rotten bunch and start afresh. Our neighbours managed it and are now thriving.

Yaha is going to Rugby Union in France

Again?

Just needs a few games to settle in and get the try scoring out of his system then he'll be knocking on in tackle 2 20m from his own line in no time

Played last week and got a knock not risked this week

Ikuvalu has been at Cronulla since the start of last season (2022) but picked up a bad injury and has only just returned after 7 months out.

Made his return for their feeder club Newtown Jets last weekend.

Davies is far and away better than yaha

Actually think davies is just as good as johnstone

I agree that Davies is better than Yaha for me but just feeling Yaha would get nod over Davies
