If one has taught be over the years, is not to get carried away by a good start or good few games. The Cas and Wakey games will tell us a lot about where we are.

I agree with Dave, we have shown a massive improvement in attitude this year but there is a long way to go and we are reliant on a small number of key individuals with not much in the way of back up, plus we also need to ensure we don't see the usual end of season drop off. For me, at this stage, I'll be happy if we can finish the season above cas, wakey, Salford and hudds. Many higher will be a bonus.

I do think they is more of  chance than I thought, Wigan, Saints, Rovers, Warrington and Leigh should finish top 6, Leeds probably the favorites for the last spot, but they are very up and down and have only beat Salford and Cas so far, lost to Wakey. Be an interesting game with Catalans this weekend.

He's a good signing but it's also our last quota spot which means we need to source centres domestically which isn't easy.

Stull think we need a pacy halfback, we dint have anyone who can do what Armstrong did last night.


I'm not sure Cust in the long term solution.

The 2027 cycle will be very interesting. Coming off quota (as things stand) are:


Cust
Sezer
Cartwright 
Bell (dispensation I think) 
Rapana


There's a lot of cap and freedom to make some moves. 


So although things look fairly sorted for next year, I think some stability before we enter the carnage will be good haha. 

We do need another outside back though, think the club will target Cross or King.

Toby King is the one for me. Would be a real stand out signing off the back of Batchelor and Bell and exactly what we need. 

Rapana/Moy
Barron
Hardaker
King
Martin


With plenty of cover at centre in Litten, Westerman, Chamberlain, Rapana.

As it stands Bell is 100% quota, I suspect the club think they will be able challenge this ruling.l

Bell is an excellent signing along with Batchelor. Who said it was difficult to attract players to Hull FC
Like kr showed., money talks.

Bell is the type of quality we need, just not sure it's the right place to use our last quota spot, unless we have some domestic players lined up for other positions.


Ideally for halfback it would be Lam, but can't see that happening, then Pryce, could be Dodds the way we now shopping only in St Helens rather than Leigh.
