I do know we've signed Clark, for 2020 according to the club statement.
Hence my post about him being the obvious one to come earlier if salary space became available.

It seems strange to release Ganson, Forsyth, Joe Brown and now Paisley mid season without a plan behind it. A new addition in the front row would be very welcome and surely possible. Maybe it simply is to save a few quid and let lads leaving at the season end regardless to get fixed up early.

If Tautai rumour (him leaving immediately) is true, as well as Hamlin surely being released once the investigation into his alleged drug taking has finished then we must have some room on the cap at that point.

We really should be trying for Clark early considering the mess we’re in props wise, we ideally could do with another prop as well, don’t know who’s available the current moment but I’m sure they’ll be a decent player in the NRL on the outer

Cut off date for signing has been extended to 9th August, so there's a bit of time to get things sorted. https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... ne-2980569

Clark is playing for Fax against Bradford on DR this week

At the start of the season Lam said he thought we were a prop short.
Tonight he didn't have Flower, Hamlin and Tautai yet still decided to rest Joe Bullock.
Having said that Navarette had his best game of the season IMO.

Lam hinted Bullock was dropped rather than rested.

And I think he’s probably fair enough. After a strong start for us he’s looked jaded recently IMO and isn’t having as much impact with the ball. It’s understandable and the rest should do him some good and hopefully help him re-focus.

I don’t think his issues are when we’re in possession. It’s the fact he’s lazy in defence and seems to be saving himself to do the big impressive runs. Warrington in particular targeted the hole behind the play the ball every time bullock was marker. Clarke had a field day!

Probably also at fault for Leeds' stroll in try under the posts. Just switches off occasionally but great first year from him.

Exactly. He’s been a cracking signing but still has plenty of improvement in him. That’s a good thing.

A great first season at this level and I dare say he's played a lot more matches than the coaching staff had planned for. Giving him a rest won't do him any harm.

Totally agree but when he was making plenty of strong carries that defence could be forgiven a little but now the impact isn’t as high with the ball it makes it tougher to look past.

He’s been a good signing overall and hopefully he can improve what he needs to so he can kick on.
