Just seen an article on how we nearly signed Zach Dockar Clay (played for KR in the championship) for the 2024 season, but he decided to stay at Roosters. I presume it was instead of Nu Brown. Just shows how clueless our recruitment was, another utility pivot. When we crying out for a scrum half to replace Clifford, we ended up with Walker and Brown.

Saw that and thought the same, it was one of them clickbait articles but seemed like a direct quote from him that he was about to join Hull and and changed his mind. I suppose in the clubs defence it’s pretty clear that there was very little quality 7s that would have been willing to come and play SL.

We went for Clune as the first target and got blown out the water by Hudds. He’d have been a lot better but he’s on a big 3 year contract at Hudds. He hardly set the world alright and had very little first grade experience anyway they’ve probably got buyers remorse now. Shows just how tough a market it was, in hindsight maybe not letting Clifford go until we had something sorted might have been a better move, that would have been risky though.

I think ZDC was for this season, someone told me we were after him in June, then we went for Rimba, then Cust.

They might have had talks with him again for 25 but he deffo said he decided to turn Hull down so he could have another go with the Roosters for the 24 season, he’s now been released.

Yeah maybe, would make sense, but yes agree odd signing for 2024.
