Just how many, and which, new players have we actually signed up for next season?

Well if the rumours in hull are true can’t imagine he’s overly bothered about hull losing as he’s already signed for Wakefield and is leaving this season in about a month .

Thought he was going to be one of best stand offs in game, but injury has largely defeated him for a couple seasons. Yes he was doing a lot of organising, the Rooney inside pass and not much doing against Catalan. But he is a quality player and if true is a big step from where we are now

Confirmed:

Tom Johnstone (Catalans)
Mike Mckmeeken (Catalans)
Oliver Russell (Hudds)
Corey Hall (Hull Kr)

So far are confirmed for next season as new signings.

Rumoured:

Marty Storton (Hull Kr)
Jake Truman (Hull Fc)

Personally I’d like to see us look at George King at Hull KR as i think he’d be a good prop signing to finish off our prop forwards for next season.

Add cam Scott aswell

Also Matty Russel has been widely rumoured

I still think that’s a mix up with Ollie Russell as they surfaced around same time.

It's not mate and Fwiw i think he will prove to be a decent signing as a utility back.

To be fair to Trueman, if what I hear was right about Hull shopping him around anywhere they could to pass him on, I would fins it difficult to be motivated to play for the club aswell. From what I was told he signed a couple weeks back.

His biggest issue is staying fit, which he's had a few unlucky Injuries, there is no doubting his class when he gets on the pitch, he literally controlled the game single handedly last week against the best team in the comp.

Cheers lads!!!

Johnstone on his way back to Wakey early to do his rehab, no expense spared by the club.

Matty Russell has signed. So has Storton.

Rhys Martin strongly linked with Hull KR, so could Parcell be the quota spot being freed. On top of that, they already have Kelepi, Hadley, Storton and Bachelor who play second row. They cant all play there, or is someone else being released

Hadley has been playing prop and Storton is rumoured to be coming to us but they could probably carry that many.
Especially as Kelepi is overdue an injury.

Has the residency rules changed for quota spots ? I know it was discussed at some RL meeting. If it has Parcel along with a few others may not be a quota players .

It hasn’t been announced anywhere. Where did you see the release or how can you confirm this?

Interesting as he’ll likely be back for SL playoffs. Wouldn’t complain if he did come early though.

If true could see Jerry and TJ on wing in champ gf

Regarding TJ if he is comming back early I would think Catalan have already accepted he would be unlikely to play again this season. If he could play again, surely they would want him in the SL play offs.

Tbf just seen a post of his on twitter asking if he knew any dog walkers in the Wakefield area …… I misread and thought it said dogging, I was going to recommend Newmillerdam car park.

It WAS you...

Rumour going around that Lino is off to Cas next year....anyone else heard this ??

I think that's just people making things up because they don't like him.
Even if we get Trueman I'd keep him.
We need some depth in SL.

That’s an old rumour that started around 1 month ago.

As said there wasn’t anything in it then it appears and likely isn’t now.

On the Lino rumour, when Luke Gale announced he was retiring at the end of the season, he mentioned that next year it'll be Lino and Russell playing for us in the halves and he also had some nice things to say about Russell as a player and a person, which was good to hear.

After Cas not getting anything like the best out of Miller, I'd be very surprised if they went down a similar root again. They haven't seen anything like the form Milky had for us from 2016 until around those covid years

Totally agree. We've gone this year with effectively 2 halves and young Lawford and struggled. Next season you need depth in the squad because there will be injuries and 3 halves surely is the way to go.
