I don't think it should be all down to age you can be a great on field leader at 20 I'm sure whoever TS picks will be the right man

Tbf, that's not a bad shout. But this kid needs to grow into the player we all know he can be. It's at least three years to early for captaincy. Tilse would be my left field shout.

Just thinking along the lines this could take him to another level and challenge himself to even greater things, maybe early but as I said we don't need his talk per say just a let's get into them mentally and demand players to follow.
which I feel we have lack since the Vella , galea and newton days.

J.P. is saying that the club is using Tim's vast contact and knowledge in the NRL to recruit more players, so maybe we haven't completed the signing of our on field leader yet.
Could it be we have an experienced prop on the way ?, could it be a classy fullback ? or maybe a game changing loose man to dictate the game tempo ?
Who do we need ?

Hala is meant to be coming after Christmas, a back is desperately needed ideally a full back

Also I would be very surprised if Lunt isn't made captain

It does say on his wiki page that he plays for us not the most reliable source I know if anyone has read James greenwoods wiki page lately it reads like Sandra has wrote it

All wiki pages on everything are written by me.

He's the winner of Brisbanes annual sausage eating competition!?

Rumours have it Hala, Quinlan & Brett Kearney have signed. I'd take two out of the three.

For captain I would go with Lunt; Vice-captain Ellis.

I feel Blair will get the nod if I'm honest , I don't think the extra responsibility will be good for Lunt's game could be a bit much for him to manage. In saying that I wouldn't mind if he did think he is top class player but feel Blair is a more balanced bloke (only my opinion )

Blairs too quiet, Brett Kearney? Ex Bradford?

Vella was quiet.

Blair is highly respected and will more than likely play for 80mins and lead by example so he is an option.

The Brett Kearney rumour originates from a tweet between Kearney/Addy with Kearney saying he will be over (in the UK) shortly.

Kearney brings utility at least

I seem to remeber TS said he wud be using the Hull acadumty for players , soon back tracked on that . can,t wait to see a load ofv over the hiill ozzies

Or have Hull FC blocked him usin them as it is a super leeguae accadummy. RRTR.

Quinlan & Hala I can understand. Don't get Kearney though.

It must take you ages to type this comedy gold.

Surely you have something better to do.....or maybe not.

Any way. The consensus is Lunt. I'd agree couldn't understand why he wasn't last year.

How sure are the Hala and Quinlan rumours. Quinlan we really need. Our other full back options are poor. If Hala is fit enough he looks the ideal impact prop.

Yes thinking about it I don't understand signing Kearney either pretty sure him and Quinlan can play full back and stand off

I can understand Kearney but not Quinlan!

Rovers squad lacks experience and Kearney brings this in abundance.

If it is true and both have signed it provides pressure on Abduller and Ellis to deliver.

I vaguely remember Kearney at Bradford seem to remember him playing full back predominately? I just think Quinlan has more of an X factor remember him getting a hat trick for stains on his debut if I remember rightly?

Kearney's a bundle of energy, but not dissimilar to Cockayne imo. Quinlan's a smart footballer who'll take pressure off the halves.
Hala's a real impact player, just never done big minutes.

What I have seen of hala he looks a monster! Which is all well providing he stays fit

Hala's highlights will look great, they just come in short bursts. Sides just not so keen on 10-15 min forwards now with reduced interchanges.

I seem to remember one clip of him pretty much putting his head down and taking about 3 blokes over the line with him, can't remember when we had a player like him maybe makka?
