Quote ="Double Movement"I've been taking a closer look at the Hull squad to see who might be on Paul Coooke's wanted list.
Firstly, here's a bit of background with regards to rules and regulations:
Only 25 Super League players can be registered to play for a Super League team at any one time. (Rule B.1:icon_cool.gif. Providing medical evidence is provided a player from outside the 25 can be drafted in. (B.1:13).
The rules are slightly different for our league but a 25 man list had to be submitted to the RFL for shirt number purposes but any player on the "training list" is eligible to play. (B.1:11)
There's a maximum of of five dual reg or loan players allowed in any match day 17. Players from Under 17 or Under 18 squads can't be Dual Registered (C.12:23). A Dual Reg agreement may be rescinded at any time.
Hull have already allocated provisional squad numbers to their players. Perhaps we can assume the 1 to 17 are the intended starting line up and won't be coming our way. Of the rest who may be the candidates?
Props: (icon_cool.gif Mickey Paea age 28; (10) Liam Watts age 24; (14) Iafeta Paleaasina age 22; (15) Chris Greed age 24; (22) Josh Bowden age 22; (30) Bobby Tyson-Wilson age 20.
The most likely DR candidate from the group would be[i[u Bobby Tyson-Wilson.[/u[/i He's an England Academy international.
Hookers: (9) Danny Houghton age 26; (23) James Cunningham age 20.
Hull look a bit light in the hooking department. Unless they sign another hooker, as much as I would like it to happen, it's hard to see James Cunningham coming to us.
Second Row/Loose: (11) Gareth Ellis age 33; (12) Mark Minichello age 30; (13) Joe Westerman age 25; (17) Dean Hadley age 22; (16) Jordon Rankin age 23; (21) Richard Whiting age 29; (25) Jansin Turgut age 18; (26) Jack Downs age 19; (2icon_cool.gif Brad Fash age 18.
They seem well-catered for in this area. The three young lads look as though their first team chances could be limited. I don't know anything about the last two lads but[i[u Jansin Turgut[/u[/i could be a good addition for us.
Half-Backs: (6) Leon Price age 33; (7) Marc Sneyd age 23; (17) Jordon Thompson age 23; (29) Harry Tyler-Wilson age 17; (32) Jordon Thompson age 23; (32) Jordon Rankin age 22.
[i[uHarry Tyler-Wilson[/u[/i is thought to be a star of the future. Again first team opportunities could limited. He could do with some game time against the grown ups before playing Super League. I'd guess Hull might be keen for him to come to us. Could we manage with two youngsters (Rich Wilkinson) and HTW playing in the halves? PC shifting to play at 13 in a more central role to guide both of them?
Centres: (3) Setaimata Sa age 27; (4) Kirk Yeaman age 31; (19) Steve Michaels age 27; (24) Jack Logan age 19; (32) Jordon Rankin age 22.
The only candidate for a visit to the Keepmoat could be the young lad [u[iJack Logan[/i[/u. Don't know much about him.
Wing: (2) Tom Lineham age 22; (5) Fetuli Talanoa age 27; (31) Callum Lancaster age 18.
[i[uCallum Lancaster[/u[/i scored a hat-trick of tries against Warrington last season. Unless the main wingers get injured he could be in need of some game time and experience. He'd be an excellent Dual Reg player for us.
Full-Back: (1) Jamie Shaul age 22; (20) Curtis Naughton age 19; (32) Jordon Rankin age 22
I'm not sure we have a vacancy at full-back with Tom Carr coming and Dave Scott as cover.
Hull look to have plenty of cover in the back row but we have plenty of players ourselves for those positions.
=#0000BFThe most likely candidates for Dual Reg appear to be:
=#FF0000Prop: Bobby Tyson-Wilson: =#FF0000Back Row: Jansin Turgut: =#FF0000Half Back: Harry Tyson-Wilson: =#FF0000Wing: Callum Lancaster.
These lads could offer some potential pace and class to our squad.
What do the Hull FC fans think? Who would you like to see get some first team experience at the Dons?'"
As Jemmo says , good post that mate!
The list you have there for the most likely candidates for DR are realistic but they are more young inexperienced lads to go with our young inexperienced lads. This makes me think that any signings we do make from now on have to be players who have been around the block and have plenty of seasons under their belt.
Also if Iafeta Paleaasina is 22 then im a chinaman! He was playing for the Pies years ago when he was a fat lad!
