As much as these signings don't excite (like signing 24 top international sone people are expecting) they are signings that are rather cleaver.
Looking at them short term, then yes, they won't set the world on fire, but are building for the long term. (However some people can't see any long term plans as it doesn't help their agenda or 'arguement')
Hence the signings of these experienced players for next season.
Thet are signed to help develop these young lads more, steady the ship and improve us from what we had this year.
They're some kids in there that will be top draw players in the coming years, the squad in the coming years will be largely made up of hull academy graduates that have played together for years with a few experienced heads in there, either UK or overseas.
We got to endure these crappy years to get to where we want to be, like the Wigan's and st Helens etc they started this process baby moons ago, we are still in our infants stage of the process.

Our 2016 didn't have much pace from Shaul, did ok, you definitely need some pace but people are focusing too much, if someone makes a break, you just to make sure the support is there.

Cas once gave a trial to Dwain Chambers because of his pace. That went well.

Heard Myler has tickets to the 100m Olympic Final in Paris to scout our next signing.

And that was a weakness of that team and one of the reasons it underachieved in the league, we had plan A, bully teams with size, if that didn't work, it didn't have the pace/agility to go round them.

Judging when Myler arrived at our club, I'd wager about 80% of domestic recruitment was already done , and also our location and current predicament, I think hes done a good job, especially the appointment of Cartwright..
For mine, the acid test,is who Myler brings in, as backroom staff to support Cartwright. There is no salary cap in appointing support staff and assistant coaches.
Our support staff, has been cut drastically this season, especially in the vital area of Strength and Conditioning, and Head Physio.
If we are to compete on a level playing field next season, we must be on a par with the rest of SL.

2016 and 17’s underachievement was purely down to switching off after the Wembley wins which was again down to unprofessional behaviour.

I can't believe he was so poor, it made sense on paper..

Exactly pace wasn't an issue, we score plenty of long range tries that season, we did lack some creativity with Shaul and Carlos as pivots, but the main reason we didn't win the GF, was we switched off after the cup win.

Every season since about 2013 we've switched off in August and September (not counting 2020 as it was on very different timescales) its a recurring problem under several coaches abd it didnt seem to matter if we were top4 or bottom 4 at the end of July either.

I hope and pray we arent going to do the same this year. I cant take any more

you have 17 players in the squad.Three out of 17 is hardly great and by the way Litten is not fast

bit of sucking up there to the forum Moderator
Chris normally does post common sense but cant be seen to be too left or right wing due to his Mod position

dont think so
he doesnt know the way to Paris only Leigh
In fact he only ended up at Salford because he took the wrong turning from Leigh

How many more than three out of the team that won the last challenge cup have pace?
