wouldnt surprise me if we announced cust on loan tomorrow

Hard for Myler & Co to judge him in such a short period after a major injury. Kids got good attitude, one of the few youngsters regularly In the gym doing extras. Just lacks the size for now

He’s one I hope makes it

I rate him, but unfortunately some just don't make the jump, having watched Moy for years, I'm suprised how well he has done, probably our number 1 young player and I would have had a few in front of him.

For all our poor recruitment, when was the last really young player we have released that was a mistake, Abdul and Litten, but both were around the first team, Lewis but that was the stupid joint academy.

Always an element of luck with young players getting chances. At the start of the season with both Hoy and Walker (plus Litten as backup) at the club you wouldent have expected any young full backs to get a game, but here we are and Moy might be our no1 for years to come.

And going way back Josh Hodgson but there was big competiton at hooker at the time.

If he’s not currently on a marquee salary there’s one sure fire way to get one, get your representatives to fake an interest in coming to Hull. Hull telling the media he’s a target is the icing on the cake for his team. All we have to wait for now is Leigh deciding the right time and picking a witty GIF for the socials to announce his bumper contract.

As for Cust on loan now, what’s his actual injury situation? He’s been out about 2 months? Remember Salford needed to offload a quota player for Nikorima so either they don’t want to let Cust go or we must think he’s injured and not worth bringing in yet. Otherwise that would have been the logical move.

Cust is named in Salford's squad this week, so if he isn't fit and ready to play then he must be pretty close again.

Sometimes I wish our recruitment was kept in house. Our best signings tend to come as a surprise to us all. The constant media hype about who we're going to sign just creates frustration and disappointment. Sailor and probably Lam are prime examples. I hope I'm wrong but there are so many obstacles for the club right now in getting high quality players to the club.

So. With the Lam interest, we have and are the only team to table an offer to him. Apparently it's a huge huge offer.

Is this a case of offer him a deal we are confident he will take it as is reported.

Or is it a case of let's show our interest make it publicly known so our fans think oh look we're showing interest in class players, with the knowing he won't really come anyway?

I hope it's the first one as it would be a class piece of recruitment this!

It could also be Lam using us a bit like his dad did to get a better deal

Not confident at all we'll get Lam, especially after reading Dan's article, any deal sounds miles off and we'll be competing with most of SL.

We could get in to a bidding war with a player who might not even be available. There's no point in throwing all our eggs in one basket waiting to see what happens when other targets are slipping through our fingers.

I hope we have a back up plan, can't see Lam leaving Leigh, think again it's agent mischief.

So, damned if we do and damned if we don’t!

I'm a Leigh fan, so there may be some sour grapes to this, but if I were a Hull fan, I'd be wary of signing Lam, simply because of how keen he is to play NRL at the earliest opportunity. If you do sign him, you'll have to do a better job than we have of making the contract watertight, given the form of his agent (and him).

What I'm not sure of, is who ultimately decides on the dispute between the player and Leigh? My guess is the RFL will transfer his registration, but then the independant body might be called in to decide on whether a transfer fee is due.

I would imagine that he will be leaving Leigh for a SL club, and frankly, given the goings on, probably for the best that he does leave. But will it be worth the hassle for his new club, especially given he'll be fishing for an NRL move after one good season.

Don't see the point in signing lam, exactly the sort of player we need however he's made it clear he wants another crack at the nrl, given that there's another franchise coming over there I realistically think he'll go in 2026. So don't see the point in investing so heavily in a player thats not going to be around long

Love it when opposition fans come with fair and rational responses rather than just point scoring. I agree with all of this, hence why I wouldn’t be looking to move Truey on.

My preferred option would be Asiata & Abdul sharing the 13 role and us to look at a winger/centre who can carry out of backfield and get us on the front foot. Forget about the prop at 13.

A ball playing 13 duo like Abdul/Asiata would allow us to give Moy the fullback gig and let him play his natural running game whilst he can learn to make that killer pass
