Only one can be an Aussie on all coaching staff, Delaney must have a UK passport now.

Ritson has supposedly got speed so the sky commentators keep reminding us….he hasn’t got a try this season and is a championship player only

Gutted we missed out on Sailor and the speed he’d have brought to the side. Still people moaned when we were in talks that ‘we don’t need another fullback’ shows how hard it would be nowadays to make a signing that would please everyone. Murphy just looked like a natural try scorer Saints will be back with a bang next season.

I think Ritsons days are numbered at Saints , Hasn't kick on and only gets in to the side to cover injuries .

Would definitely be looking at George Hirst at Oldham - young, big back rower. He will be a SL player IMO, and still think we need a big body or 2 in the pack.

Luis Roberts a centre is OOC at Leeds?

He's bab

To be honest whilst he may have some pace, his overall skill levels suggest he is still pretty much a Championship standard player, as you say he just hasn't kicked on. Think St's possibly rushed in to signing him on the back of Grace going to union, when a couple of clubs showed some interest including ourselves.

Referencing Grace I looked at his stats and if accurate has yet to make his debut in union. He signed for a french club 2 years ago had a major injury played no games and was released and went to Bath. It looks like he hasn't played for Bath either since signing this year. Not to us but I wonder if there's any chance of a return to league. The money situation will probably prevent it but it seems such a waste of talent. On the salary cap there is dispensation for signing union players and league players returning to league but I'm not sure if he meets that criteria. Probably a non starter but as I say a shame as he was a very good league player.

Carlos has been linked with a move to Doncaster

Yep, the RU club, can't stay at Hull next season anyway

Sounds like Walker won't be here next year, not a massive suprise the way he has been used and with his injuries.

Will be a sad day but the correct decision without the proposed new rule being in place. Probably in my top three favourite Hull players in the Super League era. I hope he gets a good send off at the Catalans game.

With him and Houghton gone that will be all the 2016/2017 Cup winners no longer playing for Hull.

Agree Carlos has been brilliant for us but due to recurring injuries over the last 2/3 seasons it's the right decision.

surprised they didnt get Swift back in if they know he wanted to be back in Lancs

Think Ritchie Rich has forgotton about pace
Maybe it was missed off on his tick sheet

Can't be certain. But I'm sure Barron and Martin out pace the majority of SL players. They've hunted enough down to prove that when lines have been broken.

Our issue has been attack and getting them with open space in front of them.

On saying that. When space has been in front of them they've not really been caught.

Resign him for 2026, get the RL players signing back from RU dispensation, I’ll get my coat.

A lot of forwards which you would expect wings to do
Like them both as i had previously said but to get the best out of wings you need a good centre with them
Chamberlain and Hardaker in all honesty arnt that

I'll never get the Hardaker signing for both on and off the field reasons but he'll be first choice centre no matter so let's see how he goes.

I'm hoping that Chamberlain will play the role of a solid utility squad player who can be relied upon when needed but definitely not a starter.

We need another centre of better quality but where we'll find one I haven't got a clue.

Apparently Myler knows what Hardaker is like off field, but he said you won't get anyone who'll work harder on the field and he'll play anywhere he's asked to.

The Rapana signing I was unsure about, but the testimonials from Raiders fans has convinced me it's a good one.
Sezer the same. We were all over Clune last year, and he's a lot better than him

Neither Chamberlain or Hardaker can pass, Hardaker plays much better at fullback, is generally strong but has no pace, Chamberlain is deceptively quick but can’t bust a tackle, is defensively poor and drops atleast 2 balls a game. No coincidence when Leigh are fully fit neither feature and Leigh are winning without them.

Yeah, yeah but theyre better than the crap we have now. Maybe

Cheers Degsy

I dont think anyone can dispute the credentials of Rapana but he is a winger and until his injury was playing full back.
That signing to me doesnt make sense particularly if its marquee when we are crying out for a quality centre
Why dont this club just identify the player position we need and go all out to fill it?
I doubt this is what has forced Walker out but even without Walker we have Hardaker,Litten and Moy and have to say full back is still Hardakers best position.
I know we have been knocked back by several overseas players including Sailor but these two latest signings even though they are experienced NRL starters smacks a little of desperation rather than we have signed the players we really want
