| Are we still confident the investment will be happening or that it will be a significant sum? Aside from Asiata, none of the signings will be high earners really and aren't to dissimilar to the previous signings we've seen under Clarke/Pearson

| Any rumours? Gone very very quiet.
Was hoping for a prop to be brought in over the two week break with Pele going

I’m hoping we are waiting for the investment to be sorted to allow us make a couple of good signings.
As for how much the investment actually is, no figures have ever been mentioned but Pearson really played it down and made it clear we still want and need to be self sufficient if the investment happens. The talk of someone pumping in millions or whatever on social media will be way wide of the mark in my opinion.
If I really had to make a really uneducated guess about how much ‘investment’ mens you’d imagine it would at least have to be a few hundred thousand. That would be enough to help bring in the type of marquee player we haven’t been able to afford in recent years (Pearson mentioned the investment would be used for this purpose) and would likely what’s needed for someone to buy a major stake in the club and thus allow a family member to get a good foot in the door in a new career.

| The NRL merry-go-round is in progress. I don't think we will see any new overseas signings until that settles down.
As for bringing in a prop, this season is done. Chan, Laidlaw and Gardiner can fill in. Armstrong will come in at some point too. Might as well save our pennies.

To be honest what’s he said in that interview that isn’t going to be gospel? All he says is that we are trying to sign a couple of good players (who sets out to sign bad players anyways) from the NRL to fill our quota spots and he’s trying to attract some outside investment into the club. I’d expect that’s always been the case for years.

| so we have a couple of marquee players and will probably have a couple of marquee players?
Hopefully these other 2 signings they are looking at are good but presume that means okunbor and sao probably be staying

No chance Ockunbor will be here next season.

Reading the Yorkshire Post article Pearson doesn't seem to know how many players we've already signed so I'm guessing he doesn't know how many marquee places we have either.
Whoever we sign I'm expecting them all to be over 6ft 4.

| Cade Cust what are Hull doing. Surely even the most hardened supporters must be so disappointed with the recruitment so far. This screams desperation
