Salford are after him as well so think you may have to forget about him

Why?

Spot on, he is very much a utility player. hard working.
wouldnt say he is as rugby smart or as fast as whiting though

Wouldn't be looking to sign him. We've got good squad players with plenty of back up. We now need to be aiming at adding class amongst the team now to go along with the few we've got.

Not sure on this one tbh.

When mentioned about a month ago Cas were on TV and looked out for him.

But don't think he is a centre or winger which is where they were playing him due to injuries.

Could make a decent back rower to replace Tickle and Galea along with our youngsters.

Terrible in the threequarters, very average in the 2nd row. Surely his agent is using us, as I can't see us going for a player like him. We have 8 second rowers better than him already!

2nd row who can cover centre.
Could flourish at a decent team. Done alright as a young un at a poor team.

A half-decent young player who Gentle may feel he can coach into a better player.

These are my thoughts too, Gentle obviously sees something (if we do sign him). Just look at Pitts as a good example

Always looks a very good player to be fair to him. Had to play centre cos of Cas's squad problems. He's a ball playing 2nd row, reminds me of Rich Fletcher a bit.

Of all the promising young players at Cas he would be the very last I would sign. Been around a couple if years now and looks nowhere near the standard of player we should be signing. Much rather promote from within unless a player of sufficient quality is available.

Jordy is a very good underrated player, definitely right to compare him to Whiting with the versitility he offers, FB, wing, centre, 2nd row - would like to see him used more as a 13. To the person who says he's heard bad things off the pitch , then I'd like to know what because JT has his head screwed on more then most, a decent pro. He'll never set the world on fire (apart from his hair) but he'll give his all, tackle well, finish trys off and put his body on the line.


On the flip side, I do rate JT, but if Hull are striving for top 4, it seems a strange signing, but would cost less then a foreign import.

I heard we have made a move for Jordan Thompson from Cas. A bit of a utility player, maybe cover for the backs. Thoughts?.
