Anyway thread drift. It's a rugby forum so lets stick to the rugby.
How's Luke Gale doing these days?'"
I don't know about his hair but he was another inspirational signing by Brett Hodgson, along with Kane Evans, Joe Lovodua and Darnell...... only out-trumped by Josh Reynolds.  |

Don't remind me. I still have nightmares over those signings. I was in a good mood until you dredged it up.
Can we go back to talking about hair transplants instead?

| Quote: TnT "We cannot sign all world beaters in a blink of an eye. We need players who can nurture the youngsters who it has been said must be the bedrock of future success. As fans we have the perfect solutions but the club deal with reality- contracts, availability, injury, retirement, loss of form, hiring firing, creating a Wigan like culture Whoever does all those thing the best will have a successful club. There are some grumpy folk on here who forget how awful we were 2 months ago. We are now moving forward in baby steps. Be thankful…. or not'"
Sorry but all we hear is,
We cant sign World beaters, has our recruitment finished yet? or will Hardaker and Chamberlain be our first choice centres.
Which ever way you look at it the recruitment is bang average and will not take us very far up the table unless we do sign a couple of World beaters or quality players from overseas
Mediocrity breeds mediocrity and it looks likely thats where we are going |

Thought I'd just remind people who are moaning about Mylers current recruitment drive.  |

Scott is a decent player who is always injured so not worth bug money. He was hitting some form either last season or the year before and looked good then got an injury which kept him out for some time and has never hit those heights again imo plus he never strings a run of games together. Good luck to him,
As for carlos, the way he looked like he was running in treacle last week when he made that intercept tells you all you need to know

Any suggestions on these 'world beaters' knocking the MKM door down to be part of the Hull FC revolution? |

The club are responsible for recruitment not fans
The current recruitment is hardly a revolution but money talks and if its available and thats what it takes then thats the route the club should take |

The new recruitment is not exactly cut and dry success though is it? It’s risky at best and has a Hull fan and witness to our terrible recruitment in recent years I certainly wouldn’t be bragging until we see how it works out. I’ve said many times on here I think we might attract a couple of better players once the investment is sorted, but until that happens then we can only go off what we know.
I don’t like to be overly negative and dig players out but for me Hardaker on a two year is as bad as any recruitment we’ve done over the years. Hopefully he proves me wrong but it’s every bit as bad as Gale for me. Rimbu I’m hopeful and going off a few YouTube clips looks to have potential but let’s not forget he’s of a very similar profile and experience to Lovadua. There has to be a reason as to why he’s gone so much under the radar, there’s obviously work to do with him. Abdull again I really hope it works out as he does have quality but a big risk in such a pivotal position, if he’s not on the field then it’s another Reynolds situation.
That’s looking at the negatives granted and there are some positives that I’m excited about, but the recruitment we’ve done in recent years has been woeful so it’s only natural to be wary. At the moment we are still shopping at the bargain basement end of the market for whatever reason, hopefully we’ve done a bit more due diligence with characters and suitability this time so these players at least turn out to be solid professionals who can turn up and perform consistently.

A few things mentioned on social media that Rimbu might not be happening. |

I get the Hardraker negativity, but he is still a decent player, playing well in a good side, doesn't miss many games and is appartley well liked by his team mates. OK he is a clown at times and I probably wouldn't have signed him, but is no where near in the league of poor signings, our overseas signings this year (Ese Ese apart) and the likes of Reynolds and Evans were streets ahead of this signing.
So far Myler has signed Briscoe, Reynolds and Aydin would so far have made positive impacts. |

All fair comment.
For the record, I'd have looked elsewhere other than Hardaker and Abdul as well, but, it is what it is.
It's great when someone insists on a couple of world beaters with no suggestions as to who they might be.
Maybe they should keep Richie Rich company on a trip to Cuckooland? |

For me he just looks way past his best and it’s only half way through 2024. Is he going to be an upgrade on Scott and Sutcliffe in both 2025 and 26? I doubt it. Chamberlain I can more get behind as a solid player. I’ll be very happy to be proven wrong on that though he’s been a winner wherever he’s been I suppose.
Yeah there’s some positives. I’m also hopeful that Cartwright and Myler will be better judges of lower level Aussie players like Rimbu, I just don’t we are in a position to be bragging about our recruitment yet until we see how it goes, there’s plenty of risk involved up to now.
Yeah there’s positives |

It does if you tattoo a lot of rabbits all around the baldness, from a distance, they look like hares. |
