We're meant to have signed Russell, so it'd be Russell and Lino wouldn't it as Lawford would be back up. Let's be honest ideally, we'd have a couple of places left on the quota to get both.

Hull Fc are rumoured to be trying to get Abdul back, which seems to be his preferred choice

Ok Hall.

Great player, absolutely nothing wrong with his defence, baffles me why people think there is, but they did the same to TJ.

However, I happen to know the Hall story, the last bit of gossip I got after falling out of the loop.

I can’t do details but there was way more to it than just getting Dagger in, Hall has or at least had an issue at the time, that’s all I can say, other than it was one we couldn’t take a risk on.

I think Hall is a perfect fit for us, always did, we shall see.

Not sure of the mystery, but the one rumour that I read a few times why we may have wanted to get rid of him, if it's the same one you're alluding to, is supposedly the club had concerns about his head knocks, but at the time I thought people could be reaching and just a rumour.

Who are they? I had a completely different opinion on TJ, he never had anything wrong with his defence, the only thing you could nitpick and it was when he first burst onto the scene was his positioning, which all wingers have to learn.

The TJ defence was just fans of top clubs using it as a stick to suggest he wasn’t the top winger or worthy of an England spot. There was no justification and it was drivel.

Let them take him.

His poor fitness and self discipline is why he fell out of favour at Hull KR.

Let that be someone elses problem, not ours

Hull KR are reportedly on the look out for a hooker. We had better get Doyle and Smith tied into contracts before the Trawler Boys come calling again

The days of them getting easy pickings at Wakey are over

Doyle is out of contract at the end of the season not sure about Smith

Let's hope we're working on contract talks with him then, quality player.

just read an article about us having plenty of cap space etc and they talked about this, it's probably where you got it from and I hope we are going to keep him but it says we've
That sort of signals that he's not going to be kept if he isn't on the undetermined list we've handed out. Hopefully, there's still time for him to play for his contract but it'd be a shame imo.

Just seen a picture of Corey Hall wearing a Cas shirt, hideous !. I'm off to disinfect my eyeballs

He has been playing for them for 2 weeks

If we are looking to make an impact next year I’d like to think we are targeting players at a level above what Cas will be targeting.

I’ve nothing against Hall however I did feel he was somewhat overhyped after 1 admittedly impressive season.

He seems unable to settle anywhere for different reasons and is now in limbo regards his position being used as a secondrow and centre.

Obviously much depends on who else is available and his expectations but to be honest personally I wouldn’t lose any sleep if we missed out on him.

Don't disagree, he is no world beater, no one is claiming he is, but with no overseas quota places available our options become more limited, there just aren't that many centres out of contract at the moment, I'm more than happy to leave the decision up to recruitment team they have done a fantastic job so far
