Saw that and thought the same, it was one of them clickbait articles but seemed like a direct quote from him that he was about to join Hull and and changed his mind. I suppose in the clubs defence it’s pretty clear that there was very little quality 7s that would have been willing to come and play SL.

We went for Clune as the first target and got blown out the water by Hudds. He’d have been a lot better but he’s on a big 3 year contract at Hudds. He hardly set the world alright and had very little first grade experience anyway they’ve probably got buyers remorse now. Shows just how tough a market it was, in hindsight maybe not letting Clifford go until we had something sorted might have been a better move, that would have been risky though.

I think ZDC was for this season, someone told me we were after him in June, then we went for Rimba, then Cust.

They might have had talks with him again for 25 but he deffo said he decided to turn Hull down so he could have another go with the Roosters for the 24 season, he’s now been released.

Yeah maybe, would make sense, but yes agree odd signing for 2024.

Been mention on the Facebook forums over the weekend of a couple of incomings on their way should you choose to believe them...

Quota is full so I'll settle for Farnworth, Radley and Luke Thompson

Radley would count on the quota, otherwise he would be here now, one look at the Hull FC billionaires and big John C, would have him over the line.

come on, get it right, half a billionaires - still by far the richest power board in Hull

Bateman's name keeps being mentioned but can't see that at all.

His and Bryne's are the names that keep getting batted around.

Thought Bateman looks very good for Wire towards the end of the year and would improve our back row massively.

Read an article earlier from Serious About Rugby League, and I have no idea how accurate they tend to be, but basically sounding like Bateman could be in a bit of limbo. West's want rid of him and have now signed May. And Manly would have to get rid of a player to fit Bateman in, which it seems like they're struggling to do.

He may be available. And if we are one of, if not his only choice, then we may be able to get him for a fairly decent price.

Can't see Bateman over here with his Mrs being back in Australia

Be suprised if Bateman wasnt pushed closer to the door, by Wests signing May.

Just can't decide if he what we need.

I think we need a prop now a back rower. Who have we got?

Props - Ese'Ese, Sao, Aydin, Ashworth, Fash, Gardiner, Wainhouse, Laidlaw,

Back Row - Lane, Holmes, Cartwright, Staveley, Jebson, Kirby,

Could do with 1 of each really, and a quick outside back

Mikolaj Oledzki for 2026 would be a real statement signing to make, I'd definitely make him a very good offer.
