Koukash has just confirmed Salford have signed Carney.

We've got pace with Fonua, Logan, Shaul & (hopefully) Lancaster.

I wouldn't touch Chase with the proverbial,vastly over-rated,thug,cheap shot merchant and total bad influence.As for BJB,would be a excellent signing.

Unless Adam and Lee Radford have had the biggest swing of opinion since last Thursday when someone asked them about Chase I would write that one off myself but who knows I guess stranger things have happened.... but not often.

As for BJB he is a really fast winger, with bags of energy, he's a good tackler and scores at a good rate every year. He's not Carney but he is a strike outside back and would I think add to what we have. I think there might be a few others in the frame too though by what has been said.

Chase would be a liability. He loses you as many games as he wins, goes missing (or doesn't turn up at all) and spends a quarter of the season banned. His off the cuff stuff may go well next to a half back who steadies the ship and controls things (like Campese) but we don't have one of those.

BJB is a really good player who has lost his way at Salford and we could get more out of him. He's also British so no non-fed implications.

I think chase might be happening, someone on Twitter who is well connected to the Hull players and mentioned Manu well before anyone else has been dropping hints.

Really not sure what to think about this if it does happen.

Is Chase non-fed or exempt?

How do you rate him? Decent try return.

If it does happen, I'm going to be excited about it, I know he as some baggage, but if we can get the chase who seems to tear us apart season after season, we could!!! Be in for an exciting season, chase playing behind our monster pack should be very good

If rangi does sign I'd be excited by it I go to Hull not just to see a winning team but also to be entertained which is few and far between nowadays and the thought of chase behind our pack next year excites me. I hope it happens

Totally agree with that we ain't had a support with pace up the middle for ages, I think he would bag plenty of trys feeding off the likes of Pritchard and co.

Think Rangi could do well in a stricter environment such as ours, but it's still a massive risk and has been said, it would mean a dramatic turnaround from AP and Radford.

pryce retiring chase in, also bjb

Played for England hasnt he, so surely Fed trained and Non quota

If we signed Chase then not making the top 4 would be a disaster

Oh yeah.

Can't see it though. Would have thought BJB more likely.

If Chase was to sign, which I doubt very much after listening to Radford and Pearson last week, Pryce will have to go.

Do you believe what both of them say, many times over the last year they have said things in the media that have turned out to be untrue.

makes sense getting rid of westy and lineham then signing chase

Fonua replaces Lineham
We've already got depth in the back row even without Westerman
You just said halves are a position needing strengthening. So yes, it would make sense. But I doubt we'll sign him.

I meant from a behavioral point of view. Obviously a bit subtle for you.

Has the world ended yet?

Well you just said posters hoping for a better finish than 8th were making outlandish claims of a 2016 season of greatness. Exaggeration rather than subtlety perhaps.

The world hasn't ended yet. Clearly if Jones Bishop or Chase sign it'd be a step closer to the apocalypse for some.

What about Chase in and Pryce to centre?
Michaels on loan to Wakey, BJB in at Hull.

Love him or loathe him, Chase has the X factor that we are lacking.

No I didn't. There you go with your compulsion again

Sure. Didn't see any solid predictions of Top 4 or silverware last night, just support for the target of 3 more wins, but your reaction was:



I take your points about trade-ups in personnel perhaps being over-egged but equally there are grounds for optimism we may improve. The pack overall is better. We've traded Lineham for Fonua. And younger squad players like Logan and Abdull could well be better in 2016 than 2015. Radford has said that work in execution is the top priority in pre season. One challenge is whether other clubs have strengthened to a greater extent than us, and I think Catalans for example have done so, and Salford will benefit from Sheens. Interesting to see how it plays out.
