Won't Connor play full back or stand off?

It might not move us into the top 4, but it will move us closer, we won't start to compete until our youth set up is fully working and that's probably 2/3 years off

1. Hoy/Walker
6. Connor
7. Trueman

Is what I'd do.

On a slight tangent, keeping Walker for if/when those NRL clubs come sniffing around Connor again would help. It would ease some pressure if he does move.

Plus we could go Hoy and Connor in the halves if Trueman needs more recovery time

I think the club will really look to use your next year as back up, not Walker who will be on good money and we still have Shaul next year. Think McNamara will get a shot if Trueman is out for an extended period.

Think if wakey stay up, they can trigger a permanent contract with Shaul, but I take your point

I'd also be interested to see who you think the club should have signed instead of these 3 players?

I doubt Connor will play full back given Hoy has been signed.
Think coaches can see the benefits now of a fast attacking full back
Even in his short time here Walker has shown this with the breaks he has made and the backing up down the middle
Will he play six? again not so sure.A lot will depend on the fitness of Trueman and McNamara and then the possiblity of either Gale or Smith staying on.
Talented player but if we could cash in on Connor i would.
Unless we have some added power and size into the forwards i dont think these additions will move us any nearer the top four.
Hoping that young players with potential currently in the reserves and academy will be the the answer to the clubs future and catapult us into a top team in two or three years is just living in hope which is what supporters of the club have been doing now for several seasons

Front row is fine in my opinion. One position where we have depth and quality. Sao and Satae are top class. Evans is improving all the time. Brown is quality and young enough to get even better. Fash is solid and dependable. Laidlow looks a prospect. If and a big if Taylor can get a good pre-season in and improve his fitness we'll have even more quality.

Agree second row looks a bit weak that's why I think we'll use the quota spot to sign one.

If you look at the outgoings we should have a decent amount left to sign at least one or two quality signings.

If Houghton isn't here next season we definitely need another hooker as well.

Sutcliffe is the only player i have said we should be looking at better.
Hoy i have not seen enough of and neither has anyone else on here so difficult to comment but he has pace and that counts for a lot now in todays game.
Trueman is a good player and was playing into some form at Cas before his injury.Just hope it doesnt come back to bite us.
Do we really need another utilty player especially when it seems he his destined for a centre spot.
He is certainly not better than Connor or Tuimavave at centre and from what i have seen of him in live games no better than Mitch.
Recruitment of Hodgson is too hotchpotch for me and leans too much to utility players

Worry for me is that we don’t keep Walker and then an NRL club entice Connor just before next season.

We start the season without Walker, Connor or Trueman and just have Hoy in the pivots.

For this reason I would keep Walker

Connor will be our FB next year,as we won’t be taking up the offer of Jack Walker.Dwyer isn’t coming to hull either

Connor's best position is FB and Hoy's is as well. If Hodgson is going to play Connor there why not sign a special SH/SO instead of Hoy?

If Trueman is not fit until Easter as has been suggested we are going to be short in the halfs for a while.

Dan Tomlinson was speculating that Gale could get another year. Not sure about that at all.

Heard a rumour Ben Mac might not be here next season, wonder if Smith been considered for another year.

Would also be the correct decision, hasn't shown enough when he's played, couldn't quite suss out what his strengths were, seemed abit to reserved when he played. Also always Injured.

I think Hodgson is trying to squeeze as much quality and use out the salary cap as possible, which will mean not carrying any wages or players.

Maybe off to join his Dad in France?

Out on loan

In terms of centres. Rovers have just signed Tom Opacic. He walks all over Sutcliffe. Added to Rhys Kennedy (another very good signing) If Sutcliffe has been signed on low(ish) wages and is to primarily replace Griffin whilst the big contracts go elsewhere then it's a good signing, but if he has arrived on a good wedge and is one of your main signings then i can't see much improvement to this season looking from the outside.

Opatic is an overseas players, we can't afford to use an overseas on a centre. I've never seen anything other than a solid player in Opacic

Kennedy is garbage, may as well keep playing Maher if you want a big bloke that doesn't do much.

I'm not convinced some people watch the NRL, just presume they will be good as they play NRL.

Although as we know often players who don't look good at NRL can do really well at SL and vice versa.

Exactly, same as when we signed Evans.
