JA has agreed personal terms with Hull after being granted permission to negotiate. Sticking point is the fee payable to Rovers. This deal was done before new coach appointed. There is an issue with JA keeping fit and as he only trains twice a week in France his weight has got away from him again. A fit JA is unplayable but a troubled unfit JA is a liability. Both him and Reynolds will never play for Hull KR again. WP will have given an insight into both but Myler signed them anyway.

Yeah Treigh Stewart is the name I've heard too. PNG full back playing for Brisbane Tigers

Cartwright's first signing?

Might be for this season too.

Could be the end of Jack Walker.

Stewart doing the rounds on socials. For this season onwards.

If Stewart comes in, I'd love to see Moy off the bench, just two short spells, think he could be electric out of Dummy half.

Rovers don't want a fee for Abdul, they're desperate to get him off their payroll for next year or their recruitment is screwed

The only thing with him playing hooker is he is tiny. I think he'd potentially get run over in SL with some of the forwards and how small he is.

I think in 5 years time he could be the best FB in the competition!

Or he could be playing championship. Way too early to be making claims like that

One of the biggest weaknesses at the club is how we manage players that burst onto the scene, look like they'll be a star of super league for years to come....then their progression stagnates and they end up at a championship/league 1 club. Look at Litten, he was in a similar position to Moy a couple of seasons ago, looked like he'd be our fullback for years to come...now he looks like he doesn't have a future with the club. We need to improve that transition from promising youngster to first team star.

The Sullivan talk is an interesting one as it does make you wonder what the plan is in the halves because three into two doesn't go and with all three likely to be on big wages and one being a quota player, we have to have all three in the team (fitness and durability issues notwithstanding). Noticed Jenna didn't link us with Bateman despite the rumours and also said his preference is to stay in the NRL.

Looks like Sao will be here next season. Visa issues complicating his fire brigade job.

Couple people suggesting Houghton might fancy another year…

I'd be happy with that as long as its elsewhere.

Grix mentioned after the Huddersfield game that DH has been struggling for weeks, partly due to his age, and yet we still persist in flogging him every game. That's not doing either the man or the team any good. So I can't help but feel that there needs to be a parting of the ways now because it just feels like no one at the club is strong enough to go with a different approach and manage his game time better. I have all the respect in the world for the man and what he has accomplished at the club but it's time for a change.

Houghton is going to end up with some long term damage to his body if he tries to go on. I can't see it myself, he seemed fairly set on retiring before this season but got the feeling he went around again as we had no other hooking options at the time
