Even in a heavy defeat, you could at least recognise structures being put in place. Been a while since I’ve seen a Hull side with even a little bit of shape. Personnel just not at the standard needed to get anywhere near a team like Wigan. Years of abysmal recruitment and retention will take a while to correct. Think we have the right people in place to make it happen.

[quote="UllFC":s4we9dqq]The worry is Fash and Chamberlain are under contract for 2026 and I can see Lane's slightly improved form winning him a new deal and the club doing a '2024 player of the year resigns' announcement. With Sao and Ashworth also out of contract we need to unearth several players for the pack. Ashworth looks good when he plays but we need to assess the injury record (this week was just an illness however)[/quote:s4we9dqq] Atm Lane is starting back rower, Chamberlain is battling Briscoe to be first choice left centre and 1 injury in the pack and Fash is in. Either during this season or by start of next, (if they are all still here) they all need to be further down the pecking order. Lane battling for a bench spot, Chamberlain a back up centre/back rower and Fash nowhere near the back row/6th prop option. I’d have Salabio above Fash for front row already.
