Would have taken Noafoaluma - Salford getting a great winger, and better than anything on either Hull clubs books in that position.

I would have taken Penrith’s second string but limited cash and quota spaces limit us to who and what class of player we can sign. Like a previous poster said, it costs money to pay players off and that cash still counts on the cap.

Agree and why most sensible and realistic supporters know that we are at least one more recruitment cycle away from genuinely being back in the mix. We should certainly be in a much better position come the next off season for recruitment. Plus the young players coming through will have had another years experience.
That’s why whilst this season we are unlikely to trouble the top sides hopefully the groundwork put in place during last season and through this off season will pay dividends long term.

Still at least two seasons off I think, unless we can recruit two wingers, a centre, scrum half, hooker, second rower and a loose forward for 2025

Agree 100% I think most of us realise this season will be a bit of a long slog, I'm pretty sure Pearson said the covid loan will be paid off this year so that hopefully will free up more funds for next season and we can spend full cap again (I don't believe for 1 second we're at full cap with the squad we have at the moment). But rightly Pearson has put the club first by clearing debts or we risk being in Salfords position.

Soft.

Pele incident sums us up, great first tackle followed by a brain dead moment.

As the old saying goes if you pay peanuts you get monkeys

Should we make a bid for Luke Gale?

Thing that surprised me was that with Grix connection that we didn’t bring in a couple of forwards from the championship.
early days yet but okunbor was a real disappointment.

Is your payslip salted or dry roasted?
