Hull FC back Curtis Naughton will join Huddersfield Giants on loan later today. Full story here.

Who's going to play fb then if shaul isn't going to travel to France? Be good for him to get some game time, just hope they put in a recall clause, just in case.

Odd decision. We wanted to sign Smith to add some competition to the outside backs failed to get him and send Naughton out on loan.

Did hear yesterday that reece dean could be in the squad for weekend. Wonder if as fullback cover?

Player outside of 17 gets chance to play at super league level with a top team. Callback option after a month.
Great for him. Even better for us. Win win win

Seems a strange one to me. Good for him to get game time at a good club, but I see him as an important part of the squad and expect him to be needed alot this year.

If Shaul doesn't travel then the most obvious option is to put Carlos at full back and shuffle the back line about, but if Fonua is out then it starts to look a little makeshift.

For me it would be Carlos, Lancaster, Talanoa, Logan, Michaels. However I can see Radford just bringing Yeaman in.

Surely puts the rumour to bed that Shaul, might not play this weekend.

Good move to get him some gametime, we can recall him after a move also.

... Shaul's partner is expecting this month. Maybe he said he'd play if no one else was available?

If Shaul is a doubt for the trip to France then letting Naughton go on loan now seems odd. Should Shaul not make it then I can see Radford putting Carlos to FB and bringing Yeaman in at Centre.

This.
