There'll be a 'go with what we've got' article in a couple of weeks.

IMO won't be welham. Rumour is he's of to Bradford or CAs. Shame about westy but also good bit of business by Pearson. Who's the back ?

I can see the Welham move coming off. Its been widely hinted at that finances are tight and with a lack of options then Welham fits the 'established SL' tag and will be cheap.

Bradford and Salford were strongly linked but 'another' SL club has come in for him. BJB will be on a pretty big salary at the reds so would Hull match that?

Good piece of business for a player that's predominantly underwhelmed at Hull.
Just no need for the cloak and dagger routine from Pearson. Honesty with the fans will go a long way.

There you go..

If you think Welham is "turning out well" you are more deluded than i thought.

Which I would have not problem with. Not point is signing a player for the sake of it if they are not good enough. I'd expect us to see a signing come in mid season. Inevitably a player somewhere will upset the apple cart at their club and seek a move else where.

I'd rather do with what we have than sign Welham.

For Welham, read Liam Colbon. A player we don't need and who isn't good enough. Stick with Logan and Lancaster! And use Thompson as a centre if need be. Just not Welham.

Sorry to see you go Joe you gave the club 5 years of good service, as for potential back to come I would like to see Ben Jones Bishop I've all ways rated him.

Wigan are supposedly after Carney from Cas so might need to let Charnley go to accommodate him?

Joe's always shown he's a natural rugby league player with a good set of hands and boot, a solid leader on the pitch at times too. Shame about his (rumoured) off field antics. Think he'll go well at wire or disappear from the game entirely.

Could we be in for Carney?

Good bit of business this to get 150k did work hard on the field but off the field was not the role model we were looking for. I would rather have the players we are signing now that lead on and off the field.

I don't see this as a step backwards but a step forwards at making the club players more professional.
