Morgue is an elusive runner but not sure he is much else. Seems to run around like a headless chicken most of the time.

I agree - can be dangerous on his day but doesn't seem to have the instincts of a top player. Was saying to someone at the Grand Final that Hull KR are a great fullback away from potentially being champions but Mourgue isn't it.

Think I agree with you on that to be honest, he's a decent enough player but he looked like he could be a real top player when first hit SL in 2018 but not seen anything of note since to say he'll be anything special. I feel he'll be another of those players that initially burst on to the scene but then don't really progress that much, which for me he hasn't really.

no doubt peters will turn him into the next billy slater

Think it’s a great signing and a Willie peters player to a tee

Played in grand finals with Catalan also for the people saying he isn’t gf material

“Hull Kingston Rovers” have wasted no time in snapping up 3 talented players from Catalan, Leeds and their close neighbours Hull FC. Rovers are now an attractive draw for players wanting to join the revolution that is going on in East Hull.

According to Dan Tomlinson we’re looking at Hugo Salabio, just tonight been released by Huddersfield.

Wasn’t he suspended for 7 games for a really bad tackle on Richie Myler? Other then that I know nothing about him.

That’s the one, yeah I don’t know anything about him other than that.

Yep we have to agree with you there no getting away from it you certainly are revolting.

Not sure why the Dobbins troll with multiple user names doesn’t stick to the secret forum.

Very little on the market available and I suspect that Hugo wasn’t the first name on the list.

Realistically he is a squad player and won’t be taking much off the cap, can’t say I’ve ever been impressed when watching him previously but we shall see.

Who's the Hull FC player?

As you say very little on the market and would be a squad player to give us some cover.

Think he has potential to be in the 17, Ashworth is injury prone and the next in line is Fash, who needs to improve on last year's form.

Gardiner and Laidlaw I'm not sure they are good enough, both have given chances but they don't look good enough for SL IMO.

Adds depth, another option/prospect to work with, alongside the likes of Staveley, Laidlaw. The more bets you place, the more chance of getting a winner. Seems like a sensible strategy.

Wait, so he won't be blocking the path of a younger player like our similar signings?

To be fair you are right,you don’t produce any youngsters to have their paths blocked..

Weve given the chance to some young props, they weren't good enough, Laidaw and Gardiner played 30 games between them last year and don't look good enough as it stands.

We are different to Rovers, we don't have your quality, bet he plays double figures in games, I'd be suprised if Ruan plays 5 games.

He'll be another AJ Wallace or Greg Richards

Cas linked with Dan Okoro from Wire. Rovers signing Ruan and us linked with Salabio says everything about where the market for middles is at right now.

I would've been more tempted to keep our powder dry and try to recruit mid season

No that's not likely at all, we've already given opportunities to the younger players such as Gardiner and Laidlaw and they've shown they either aren't good enough or ready yet and Staveley is coming back from a serious injury. A lot of that could be down to the poor Coaches we've had and the lack of structure and both training and game time.

We are short in the middles so Salabio would help to add a little depth as that is what we are lacking in that dept, so no it wouldn't be blocking the path for younger players.
