Numbers only indicative of our squad obviously. I could see some of last year’s first team keeping their numbers for a season - players like Lino, Griffin, Cozza.

Talking about 2025. One player I’m interested to see is Scott.

I didn’t realise but he’s quite a tall and well built player by all accounts. Be interesting to see if he plays in second row or centre. He played better at second row for hull in the few games I watched him in 2024.

I do think though he could be a signing that could turn out a positive surprise. Sometimes new clubs and challenges can really make players.

I met him at the Shareholder meeting.
First think I noticed was that he looks quite young but has Thor standard muscle size.
Mat was saying he's quite a sprinter too but the thing I most remember was when I shook his hand he nearly broke mine....and I'm not a small guy.

The key will be for our rehab team to keep him fit but if they do I think he'll be great for us.
He said he wants to play centre but is happy to play SR when called on.

That sounds very interesting and when I saw a couple of games at Hull he was a very strong runner.

Good to have competition for places.

Can we fast forward to pre season now

Not sure if anybody has seen Frances line up this weekend just gone.

Cozza played at second row. Adds another option. I was quite impressed by Cozza after he returned. He looked in very good shape and a high level of fitness.
