We won’t need Jordan Johnston if we have Doyle, Flanagan, Johnson. Bowden however could be a very good addition in the Championship!

I forgot you got Johnson from Leeds.

Bowden hasn't been the same player since he did his ACL in 2018. He's either injured or just plods his way through games.

A season in the Championship might do him good, to get his confidence back.

Jack Brown is a good kid. Makes decent yards and has really good offload game. I'm hoping he gets more game time again for us this season.

He'll be 5th/6th choice behind Taylor, Sao, Satae, Evans and possibly Fash. Depends what Hodgson wants to do with dual reg/reserves but he may be sent your way for game time.

I haven't seen him play at Hull but the Jordan Johnstone at Widnes wouldn't be at the bottom of that list.

I don’t think anyone is saying he would be 4th choice with us, just that we have 3 decent options and won’t have tHe budget to attract him and then keep paying the other 3

Correct. I might not have been clear but we have 3 hookers signed up. And tbh they are 3 really good hookers for this level.

Would we need to attract him or would he made available to us under the terms of dual reg? Does anyone know what they are? Is there a standard fee, a percentage of salary or is an arrangement wherein the SL club takes the benefit of game time/match fitness they otherwise wouldn't get?
