Hardaker has only missed one game this season and he played 27/32 in 2023.

Agree with all of that. I'm not convinced.The one consolation I'm taking at the moment is that most of the players signed are an improvement on this year's. A very very low bar though.

The one thing I'm hoping will make a difference is actually having a fully resourced coaching and conditioning team.

Luis Roberts? Not sure if he's got another club but could be an option for centre.

Good listen on Out of League podcast this week spot on about Hull might upset some of the negative drones on here.

Good read in the HDM to. Clearly a plan set out for FC . Yes it's not a quick fix and will take time for us to get back where we all want. But it's a start. Like you say the moaning Minnie's will still whine away

Quick Q - I may have missed something living upside down here

Carlos T - is he a quota player and this opens up a quota spot ?

Apparently Carlos is off to Doncaster RFU and his quota spot has already been filled, where up to quota with the signings of Rapana and Sezer.

Terrible player.

Been offered good money from Doncaster RU but he wants to stay in Super league.

Fit in well then

His agent was full of it in that article said he’s got at least 2 years left and in the top 5 to 10 imports. Can play centre, wing and stand off. He’s finished, looks good in parts but I’m surprised when he finishes a full 80.

The same agent said that 29 year old Ryan Hampshire has 10 good years left, the man is mad.

Its clearly a strategy that relies on a good number of the younger players making the grade in S/L in the next two years.
The problem is if they dont and its very unlikely we will have five or six of our younger players taking the field together as regular S/L players then the longer term contracts of the ageing players brought in will come back and bite us by restricting what we can do in the recruitment market in 2026.
The likelihood is that we could be looking at a similar large player movement in and out once again for 2027 instead of simply adding the two or three quality players per season in positions we need like most clubs do or Myler will end up trying to trade or pay off some of the average Joes he has brought in so we can add more quality for 2026

Interesting quote regarding KR.
Harrison stated " KR have spent second highest on S&C"
I bet we have spent the least.. and obviously it shows.

Pure guesswork on Harrison's part.
