Quote: Lostyorkie "Just been reading the Hull Daily Mail this morning. Assuming what has been reported is correct? Re the report that were looking to bring in an NRL half back as cover.
I just cannot believe were even considering using a quota place for half back "cover". What a total waste. It highlights again how clueless Agar and the Board are. Did we not learn anything from the Dykes/head saga? Bringing in an old half back........ Wow they don't play many games do they. So let's bring in Shaun Long he's old ........... Ohh yeah he didn't play many games either...
Ok let's bring in cover...... And then next year when Long retires...... Ohhh yeah we'll be struggling for quota spots to bring in a Quality half back.
But wait it gets better. Granted we've only just got Berro off the quota, but it's hardly a surprise that this would happen. It's hardly as if this hasn't happened previously with other clubs. Again if the report is to be believed now we've finally decided that we need cover we've started to look. Guess what? It's so late in the day that options have "diminished" due to the fact that anyone of any quality has already been snapped up..... Hey who would have guessed that.
Que an old has been Aussie HB to keep Long Company with the Physio.
We should use the Quota spot for quality or not at all.'"
We now have a quota spot we never expected to have, we have two options:-
1) Don't use it.
2) Use it on bringing in some halfback cover, not a worldbeater but additional cover in case Horne/Long are out injured again. If the halfback could also play hooker then that would be useful to cover Houghton from the bench. Just give him a one year deal and look as planned for a top class long term option around April/May time.
So what would you do?
