| Quote: ComeOnYouUll "Which players?'"
Luckily the club and Myler have the brains to release this would be suicide, can see the argument for Cust as would could sign a player from the NRL (although there is a no guarantee they would be better than Cust), but to get rid of those three and try and replace them now would be crazy.
This is the problem with posters who moan about the signings they can't name players that are better, available and sign for Hull.
Just repeat the same thing over and over again, but offer no alternatives.

Totally agree...
Myler has stated, the players that we require currently are
primarily experienced, determined attitude and mentality on the field to mentor the youngsters.
Both Myler and Cartwright have had previous experience with these new acquisitions except Abdull & Bourouh.
We've had players previously with more technical ability,but, the problem was questionable attitudes.

We have had to take some gambles, but the club did try and sign Lam, Whitehaed and Sailor, all turned us down to sign for clubs fighting for the play offs.
Think Myler has had a really tough job, I'm sure he didn't realise how hard it would be to sell the club to players, mess created well before he came. But there are positives
Better players coming in
New coach
New assistant coach
New physio and rumored S&C
Young players coming through
Whilst I'd love us to be fighting for the play offs, at the moment I'd be happy to not be embarrassed on near weekly basis.

Definitely agree with those positives. Yes, the players we are signing aren't the most exciting but they are better both in ability and, perhaps most importantly, attitude. We've got to turn that around first and foremost. Fight for every point, make sure that we give our opponents a contest every week. Whilst there are other factors at play contributing to our current demise, the mentality issues that plague us is what alarms me the most.

| ’targeting quality players in positions we need’
Excuse me, but who and where are these players exactly?
Possibly going to Saints, Wigan, Warrigton, Catalan etc.
We’re second from bottom and in a hole and in Hull!

They wanted him on loan when Myler was first appointed so can see Hull looking at him again.

If you’re looking at positives with Sezer especially but Adbull and Cust our last tackle plays are going to be miles better. Look at the difference Reynolds made in a few games.
Think by signing those players we’ve boxed ourselves in quota wise though and has prevented us adding a bit of strike that we also badly need. A lot depends on how highly the club rate Moy and Barron as being fully ready, it’s accepted that Rapana will be No1 but I think they’ll give him a go at centre at some point. Moy, Barron, Rapana, Hardaker, Martin backline would have a bit more strike if they could make it work defensively.

Agree Rapana and Sezer wouldn't have been bad signings in isolation but they aren't what we need either.
Rapana will bring experience and a never say die attitude which hopefully will rub off on the rest but he's a winger who converted to full back this season. As for a centre he's only played a handful of games there in as 16 year career. At his age it's not likely to happen. He's also 35 on a marquee wage. Keeping Walker and signing a specialist centre would have been much better use of a quota place.
Sezer has had a good season in a very poor team but is not what we need.
Cust is baffling full stop.
After the excitement when the new investment was announced I'm underwhelmed by the squad that's been put together. Some of the fed signings I can accept but the quota signings apart from Asiata are strange to say the least.
We can analyse the merits of all these signing infinitum but we've got to trust Cartwight and Myler's judgement.
One things for sure it's going to be interesting.

He's on the small side and no better than what we've got.

| If Rapana and Seizer are good enough to start and play well in the NRL, I'm pretty sure they will be good enough for a team who has won 3 games and been hammered on multiple occasions.
I quite like Walker, but is a bit injury prone.
If we can release Sao, sign a couple of forwards and a quota centre I'll feel alot more confident about next year.

Rapanas stats this year in the NRL are really good. And that league is a cut above SL.

Have you not met our fanbase?
We could sign a team of NRL superstars and some would still find fault.
