From the preview of tomorrow’s League Express:

Adam Pearson speaks exclusively with us, and gives an interesting insight into the club’s recruitment plans for 2020..

Beaten to it by a minute!

AP has previously said they are open to marquee signings, and they would review things
Think they’ve maybe realised last years recruitment and retention wasn’t a success.
Sounds like it’s not a case of who’s leaving, more who’s staying!

I think we need 3/4 signings, as long as we keep Scott, Faramino, Sneyd, Litten, Hadley and Westerman (Although still have doubts on him, due to injuries)

We need 1/2 backrowers, a prop and a winger.

2/3 overseas players and I'd try for a UK winger.

Joel Thompson is one name I've heard, would be good signing and replacement for Manu.

Don’t forget Radders Dave

I'd settle for Thompson, think he's our kind of player.

The way Pearson talks it that article I think it is a done deal

My preference would be Radders to continue, we know at times we’ve had results which frankly embarrass us, and last year it was a dire struggle at the end of the season, injuries although boring to talk about crippled us. I would think Radders is assigned to secure players for next year, so it does look like we are giving him a new deal.

It is a constant balancing act, keeping players happy, perhaps already knowing they will be leaving next year, but still wanting 100% from them this season.

And I suppose if you do go down the Warrington route paying Greg Austin wheelbarrow loads of dosh, how do other players like Hill or Ratchie feel about the pay structure, as a team game their value is just as great as Austin or Widdop.

5 or 6 players coming from Australia! Wow - Aubusson, Joel Thompson, Mahe Fonua??

100% correct, even marquee players need another 12 on the field with them.

Sneyd wants Marquee money and after saturday again proves how important he is for us, I'd personally like to tie him down first with Faraimo, Westerman and Scott our priorities.

Interesting to see that article saying 5/6 from Australia. that would overhaul our quota positions unless of course it was an Englishman coming back from Aus.

Wouldn't go for Aubusson, but if we could keep everyone that we want to keep and could bring in Thompson, Fonua and a genuine top class prop it would give us as good a first choice 17 as anyone. Then it's a case of trying to get the depth and squad size right.

I can't imagine Fonua would come back though, at least not yet. He seems to be doing well at Wests. But we should be looking for a winger/centre of his calibre.

6pm announcement

Gotta be Sneyd!

Fingers crossed!

Hopefully, not Fifita hes re signed for Wakefield for three years

where you read this ?

Sneeeeeyyyyddddd

Official

Sneyd extension for 3 year. Bloody brilliant!

sneeeeydddddddddddddddddddd

I'm a bit sceptical about this. Earlier today a Rovers fan told me Sneyd is definitely leaving.

Was never in doubt, people presumed he would want to go west but him and his young family are settled here.

What brilliant news for everyone involved with Hull FC, he is the one out of contract player that really would be a massive loss and perhaps he's even irreplaceable. For me, in a game that is often so one dimensional with Sneyd and Connor we have two of the most creative players around in the modern game. Sneyd is a brillinat kicker, so structured and skillful and a real game manager whilst Jake compliments him brilliantly with his off the cuff unpredictable style. You know, looking around the RL on line world there have been a lot of folks playing down what Marc did at the weekend and saying it was all luck, fluke etc etc, thats because he is really coverted by the rest of the game. This move certainly shows the clubs ambition as well and well done to them for getting it sorted.
