An old one but anyone else heard that lafai has signed? Someone mentioned to me the other day it’s a done deal

He plays for Salford.Ritchie Rich only knows Leigh

He was injured in the warm up yesterday so likely true

Bourouh confirmed.
3 year deal.

Three years is a bit of a surprise, quite a gamble on a relatively inexperienced player.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but an interesting choice of words from the club saying that he'll be "adding some important depth to the hooker role".

Good luck to the lad. Lets see how he goes.

and Balmforth goes to Salford

Crying Babies Alert.

I'm fairly positive but if we lose Balmforth because we've signed Bourouh I'll be absolutely gutted. Rimbu and Balmforth would be such a dynamic pairing. Bourouh is probably not even Morgan Smith standard yet.

Ladies and gentlemen…..I introduce to you the scapegoat for Hull fc from 2025 for 3 yrs….Amir Borough.How about we see how he goes before we have a go at him eh,I know it’s a radical idea

The length of contracts we are offering players is a definite tactic to overcome either money shortfalls in what we can afford to offer or to combat the ‘problem’ with the geography or maybe a combination of both.

This lad is from and lives in the Lancashire area, he was probably offered at least a one year deal at Salford so we’ve had to sweeten the deal by offering him 3. He’ll have to relocate so realistically he’ll have wanted some security.

Lets hope the people who rightly say that Balmforth should be given time and the oppotunity to impress afford the same courtesy to Bourouh.
