Sadly he thinks that it's an insult

From Aaron Bower re us bringing in fresh faces this season:

There is a contrasting mood at the two Hull clubs. Hull FC are encouraged by the turnaround in form in recent weeks and have no desire to be drawn into the transfer market as things stand. Thirteen has been told the feeling at the MKM Stadium is ‘never say never’ about new recruits but it is far more likely they stick with what they’ve got, rather than making changes.

They are expected to sign Jack Ashworth for 2024 from Huddersfield and have left the door ajar for that move to be made early but for now, he looks set to remain with Huddersfield Giants.

Promising results at academy and reserves level is likely to lead to more up-and-coming players internally being given a chance under Smith. There is a focus on the future, rather than short-term panic, at the Black and Whites for now.

I have got to say, 239 pages without a single signing yet to be announced is a great effort

Good work everyone!

Although - the papers seem to keep signing that Ashworth and Tindall are definitely done, just not announced by the club yet

Smith has hinted twice that deals have been done both internally and externally but he said, it's up to the club and 'the marketing boys' when they announce it.

I have promoted you to a doble Griffin

Is everything ok?

Think he’s talking dobledy gook personally

Only a true Griffin would manage to spell double wrong.

Didnt take you for a Griffin. Its deliberate and not a spelling error.Wanted to see if any Griffins made the connection.Doble also has a better ring to it than double
If you dont know Doble is Spanish for double.
