I have heard he is

Agreed - they've got the same malaise we have at the moment - decent build up play, but no decisive finish. Their last tackle options were as aimless as ours have been this season.

I think Washbrook is a good all round 13 who will go well with us. I hope this comes off.

Ewan Dowes has also announced on twitter that he is leaving Hull. Would guess its next stop Wakey.

Moore needs to step up this 2012 season and direct play. I would be happy with him to have a starting shirt.

If Obst were to come it we would look slightly better for 2012. If only because he is solid and not makeshift.

Dowes I'm not too fussed. Could do a job maybe. Seems props a bit thin on ground at minute. Maybe trout will get a chance to step up here?

I would like to see a NRL standard half alongside Wildie at 6. I think Wildie is ahead of Moore in the pecking order and deserves a sustained run in the halves with an experienced partner. I think the prop situation will be sorted out if we get in Amor and Dowes, with possibly Raleigh as cover. By the sounds of things Trout is seen more as a loose forward now.

The issue for me is Wildie has played mostly at hooker this year.

I would say both are at similar points in their careers. Tough choice between Moore and Wildie at present.

I would go with Moore for the kicking game at present. Depends who we bring in for halfback. Hopefully a nrl standard plater as there seems to be very little available in Uk halfback wise.

Only one I can think of is that Scott porter who has played nrl and would not be on mega bucks.

I think Washbrook will be a decent signing for you IF played on a regular basis and in the same position, instead of having to be a utility player. Great pro too.
Dowes has given great service to FC and although he's no world beater he has a decent injury record.
Phelps would be a good addition too, I'm pretty disappointed he's leaving us too be honest.

Welcome to Wakey Danny

Yes welcome to wakey.

trout seems to be the unlucky one from the champion side , maybe agar will be his savour but i think its last chance saloon this season for kyle . reminds me a little of the ste lewis scenario.

On a similar note I noticed Ewan Dowes also retweeted a message with 'good luck at Wakey' on it.

Good signing in my opinion. Always liked him.

It bothers me though that this might spell the end for Morrison and/or Howarth. I'd keep them both but if we have to let Morrison go so be it. I'd prefer to keep Howarth though.

Well said! Whilst happy to see Washbrook join, i do hope that it doesn't spell the end for Howarth who has looked potentially a very handy Loose Forward.
