I don't think this is a good deal. Noah is a future international IMO. He already carries himself on the field like an experienced pro and has bags of potential.
I think we have made a mistake with this one but then again what do I know.

You seem to think it was the clubs decision, reading between the lines HKR were keen on Booth and could sign him for next season. He's at Hunslet anyway do the club looked at a way to get something in return and it seems like we've got a promising winger as a swap. Both players are potential only right now.

The last swap between the two clubs worked out well in the end despite the uproar it provoked

Hull KRs strategy on projects / youth at the minute seems to be throw enough mud at the wall and see what sticks, which not many seem to be sticking at all. If I was a young player from a development / career perspective this would be in the back of my mind.

Why is every young player that leaves us labelled a “future International” after a handful of games in which they are unable to nail down a first team spot.

Way I see it his utility place in the squad has been taken by Rourke for 2025 and we are adding some depth in the squad in a position we are a bit thin.

Rourke is a proven top level player in SL and of the 2 he’s the better option for Trinity going forward.

We have 4 players who are very good centres and two who can play fullback well for a few years so not sure where he is in pecking order so would go as you can't keep them all.

I like this side of our recruitment plan. Let's see who is out there and give them a chance when they are young enough to develop https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/wa ... 1738573235

Yes I'd be happy if he turned out like him

That brings back memories of the million pound game, sure it was Evans who scored when Beetham kicked the ball off the floor and it landed in his hands.

Agree ,takes a big step up from playing in the championship to playing international rugby .Even the great D Topliss who was playing in the Wakefield first team at 18 played international rugby about twice .And N Wright also playing at 18 in the first team never got near international rugby and he was a match winner

Nigel played for England U21s and has a full England Cap against France.

But agree with your point.

If Booth is a future international does that make Pratt a future golden boot winner?

It’s just paper talk. If he’d have signed for Cas/Hudds etc barely an eyelid would have been batted.
