Good. Brown just not big enough to make any impact with ball. His defence has improved but still a penalty machine. Someone like Storton would be an improvement. Sam Hall at Cas looks a better build too.

Lane’s effort has gone up this season which isn’t hard as last season, it was disgraceful. He is top tackler in SL I believe but they aren’t good dominant tackles. Often still on the deck after the play of the ball. Plus the stories you hear about his attitude towards the game/club aren’t great. His family was sat behind me at an away game last season, overheard them saying he has no interest in RL and just sees it as a job. Hardly sounds the type to knuckle down.

Im glad were rooting some of the average to poor out if those three are leaving.

I reckon Jebson will be a better player than Lane, and Wainhouse alot more of a handful than brown

Hope so as i just dont see anything in Gardiner

Haven't seen much of our youth/academy set up in a few years.

Are there any that we should genuinely be optimistic about?

Charles, Staveley and Balmforth are all in my future 17,.though I expect Blamforth will follow the many options he will have at the end of the season..

Haven't seen them play but Armstrong and Wainhouse are rated highly.

From what I've seen from the games over the last year or 2 Armstrong and Wainhouse could with the right application and luck (injury wise) become very very good players. Then a little further behind that age wise is Roman Dawson, Jeylan Hodgson and Logan Moy again all highly rated within the club. I think both Armstrong and Wainhouse would've both made their debuts this year if it wasn't for injury. Hopefully they can all kick on and become first team regulars.

Roman Dawson will be a great player, expect him to debut next season for the first team.

Bullock not picked again, but they had two go off with head injury assessment so won't be getting him back for a week or two, but would be looking at him long term.

I know Abdul has some issues with being in Hull (no ides what) but would love to get him back here, have him, Charles and Trueman has our halfs, gives us another quota spot for a backrower or centre.

As it stands we will probably have 3 quota spots, Hoy, Brown and Carlos, be shocked if Ockubor is here next year too, I'd be happy for Sao to go too, but don't think that will happe.

5 new quota spots would be great (centre, SH, Hooker, backrow and LF)

No idea what’s up with Abdull’s situation but he looked the business for Catalan against Wire. Come home Jordan, there’s a kebab waiting for you.

Just popping the academy talents in, then working signings around them .


Walker
Martin
Sutcliffe
Quota centre?
Mcintosh
Trueman
Quota 7 /Charles
Eseese
Quota 9
Ashworth
Quota second row
Staveley
Quota 13 /armstrong

Balmforth
Pele
Wainhouse
Jebson

Alot of wages discount on the academy lads , to go big with 5 quota spots with hopefully a couple of marquees depending on financial news. Imperative we get the next recruitment window absolutley spot on, could possibly add a quota ŵinger instead of loose forward

I would be very surprised if he came back to Hull for either side. He needs to be away and been back in Hull just ain’t on the cards in the short term.

Wonder if the club see Hodgson as long term hooker, rather than Balmforth?

Armstrong can’t be far off first team once he’s back. Like the way Moy plays as well.

Satae looks far fitter and more powerful than he did at FC, the benefit of good coaching and decent strength and conditioning I guess

Please can we stay clear of posting rumour on peoples personal lives

Is there a particular reason why he seems to find trouble at home? Is he in with a bad crowd? I genuinely have no idea of the lads circumstances.

He's a fantastic player but he always seems to thrive outside of the hull bubble.

I'd be more concerned , if it was Staveley, Balmforth, Charles, etc , due to Shenton's previous involvement with our young players.
Will be very interesting to see IF Balmforth is in the squad vs Huddersfield......

Made 6 hit ups, they were good ones, but that the issue with him, not sure he looks any fitter and the stats back that up.

Had some great games for Hull, followed by a few average ones, he will look better in a better side too.

Don't think he is a loss really.

As mentioned a while back , The best option would be for the club and Carlos to come to some agreement and use his quota spot to bring in a 7 for the rest of the season .
I hope that option is been explored .

I just don't see it unfortunately.

Compare that with Ese'ese who made 17 hits ups on Friday for over 100 metres and the most tackle busts (icon_cool.gif in the game. Plus making 29 tackles on top of that. Early doors with Ese'ese but theres signs there that he will be a better signing than Satae was. His workrate definitely looks higher to me.
Satae could do some incredible runs but then usually only csrried the ball another 6 or 7 times per match

He is too good for us, hope we can hang onto him.

Please stay clear on posting unconfirmed/rumour info on a persons personal life.

Posting “ rumours” of a players personal life is tacky and doesn’t have any place on here.

Some good news for a change, sounds like Roman Dawson has been given a three year contract

Yep, him and Charles have, just don't understand why the club don't announce it.
