I can't say I've been impressed with him with what I've seen of him for Leeds.

Desperate times though.

For us old enough to remember it's the fairy tale of John Woods. Same club, same hopes and same outcome.

Ese Ese and Eseh sky commentary is bad enough without giving them this to worry about

So if we fail to get Lam it's clear that we have money to spend as it's rumoured we've offered 325k.

Therefore why not go and try get Mikey Lewis...

Yes he's under contract, but that doesn't seem to matter these days. And let's be honest he's a black and white fan!

Going to need a bigger stage than the Bonus Arena to fit all of this year's players on

I agree
never going to another S/L club whilst his dad is at Leigh
Just playing the money game whilst he can

for me no comment would have meant he was moving on.

Thats a decent loan signing

So what are we looking like for 2025?

1. Walker?
2. Briscoe
3. Chamberlain
4. Hardaker
5. Martin/Barrron
6. Turueman/ new signing
7. Abdul
8. Herman
9. Cust
10. Sao
11. Lane
12. Cartwright
13. Asiata

14. Ashworth
15. Aydin
16. Holmes
17. Burough/Balmforth

Now people will call me negative because they can't process the reality of where we are, ut to me that still looks like a bottom 3 side. No pace in the backs, no strike out wide, ageing/ injury prone players. No surprise lam wants to stay at leigh.

We really need another 3 quality addiction if we're going to be anywhere near competitive and a massive improvement in fitness, conditioning and our defence

I think the signing of 2/3 top quality players (Lam being one) would turn that side from a 9-10th place side to 5-7th

We were in a similar spot last year when people kept saying we need to make good use of the last couple of quota spots, we were linked with Clune ,Watson, Blore amongst others and ended up with Okunbor and Brown, hopefully we don't end up with two more duds next season

Will never happen as long as you’re got a hole in your aris. The thing with Hull is other than money why would you sign for them?

There is little or no chance. 30+ player would achieve anything in their lifetime and the internal politics at the club is enough to frighten anyone off.

Hull could do to be relegated and start again. This papering over cracks recruitment doesn’t work. Seen it all before.

Hull need a better infrastructure and that is not Pearson and Myler but you have what you have. 10 years to rebuild if you can stay the course??

If we can get a half, Lam or someone of a similar ilk then I can see us getting top 6.

We need some more strike out wide, I'd be amazed if we didn't use a quota player on.

I'd like another middle too, we lack size against the better teams.

The biggest variable is the coach, if he's as good as we hope then play offs shouldn't be beyond us. Look at Peters at Rovers last year, got them top 4 and no one saw that coming plus Rowley at Salford this year. Hopefully Cartwright isn't a dud

We won't get anywhere near anything without major investment in the backroom staff, especially the strength and conditioning, hopefully if we do this along with the hull fc training hub being completed it should put us in a better position than we were at the start of last season.
