37 but still faster than anything we have in the forwards

Imagine the meltdown if we signed a 37/38 year old aussie SR.

Mcqueen ripped it up last season and think he will again

17 trys last season for a 2nd row is an incredible stat doubt many have bettered that

The fact you haven't mentioned Brown shows how much you watch Hull. Should be the first one renewed as potential to be a top SL forward for the next 10 years.

Signing a 37 year old would be madness and as good as Croft is we shouldn't be spending marquee wages on a position we have quality in and alot of cap space.

Signing one of the best players last season would be "madness"





As gareth ellis and steve menzies showed age is irrelevant if you look after yourself

And judging the speed mcqueen is for such a big guy he looks after himself aswell

I missed Brown he would get a deal

He played well I 2022, but to sign him for 2024 would be crazy, injuries will take the toll, look at Manu and Mini. Can't compare Mcqueen with Ellis and Minnie's, both world class players, McQueen has never been in their league.

McQueen is an England International

Mcqueen is no mug though played 6 times for queensland

Minnie as in menzies or minichello ? If you mean minichello mcqueen 100% better than him

Menzies better no doubt though

If we signed him it would be almost a decade since he played SOO.

Sorry meant Menzies, but thinking about it, id have peak Mini (2016/17) over 2022 Mcqueen, decent player who scored a lot of trys, but think Mini was overall a better player.

No one is saying Mcqueen is a mug, he is a good SL player, but to sign him for the 2024 season at his age would be a big gamble, why do you think Hudds only gave him a 1 year deal?

Whilst I'd agree McQueen played well last year for me at the age of 35 he isn't a player we as a club should be looking to sign. As Dave says it would be a massive gamble to sign any player of that age and with all due respect McQueen in nowhere near the likes of Ellis or Menzies.
As we have found out all too often over the years even just re signing aging players has proven costly no matter how good they had been for us the previous season.

No chance mini was good no doubt esp 2016

But mcqueen better mcqueen has played origin

Mini never got close to origin

Our fans deffo rate players better than they actually are

Carlos been a prime example hardly got a game in nrl never got in any dream team selections....yet some of our fans still think he's the best centre over last 5 years

Griffin and fonua at their best were better than Carlos for starters let alone rest of SL

Yes he did

I'm comparing their respective best years in SL, so playing Origin has nothing to do with it, based on their best SL seasons Mini was better IMO.

Lol

Was told last night that we could be losing Davy Litten at the end of this coming season to an NRL feeder club....

Wouldn't surprise me, its certainly the current trend for promising young players.
Don't blame the lads for giving it a try either, the potential riches on offer over there are so much greater than here.

Plus the lifestyle

Totally agree, if he gets the opportunity I don't think anyone at the club or any fan would begrudge him taking it. He is certainly a very promising player with a lot of potential.

As Scarrie says the potential to earn an awful lot more in Aus plus Bonaires comment re the lifestyle its a non brainer and something that the UK game just can not compete with.

Although the possible loss of one of our starlets is regrettable, but it is also a very positive indicator we as a club are taking, for far too long we have neglected our youth policy, Riding & Shenton are bringing these kids through, and further investment from AP has for me anyway, galvanised my hopes for our club.

We need to be like Saints Wigan & Leeds producing talent others want, then having the ability to go back to the well for the next one, looking forward to the season opener, with the added attraction of Knocker bringing the match ball out, really good memories of this superb player, “one Stevie Norton”

If Litten goes I hope we can put in a 1st refusal clause for if he comes back

Jack Walker lasted 3 mins in the Bradford game before coming off with a suspected hamstring . Absolute wretched luck for him .

Can't seem to string more than a few games together. Think he did his hamstring at Leeds last season before joining us.

Comes across as a really good, likable kid. Hope he plays most of the season at Bradford, but it doesn't look good.

Told you all last season

Mad how I don't need hindsight

Do you have a red nose as well??
