1 hell of a bench

Why do you think, if that's what you're saying, that Agar will make these changes? I wanted Berrigan at centre last season for the very reason you say , more experience and better defence - if he's got his head on - from a guy who's played there at the top level in an area that we needed experience. I wanted us to play with a proper loose forward rather than an extra prop too and we could have done that by playing Whiting there rather than in the centre or on the wing , we didn't though. In fact we deliberately avoided doing it as a matter of policy until , in respect of Berrigan to centre , the last few games.
Do you think that Agar has changed/will change his mindset? I hope he does but I've not seen anything to suggest he will yet.

I get the distinct feeling that Grant Rovelli's biggest sin in the NRL is not being Johnathan Thurston.

He'll be fine for back up half back.

The difference is pretty much every team around us or beneath us has strengthened better than we have done be it the playing roster or coaching staff.

The whole not signing players would be fine if we were full of players who were on the rise and had unfulfilled potential. The sad fact is that the squad we have currently is a ageing squad who are either at their peak or in decline.

Agree or at least it takes a leap of faith to hope that the ageing players suddenly recapture form, speed, health etc and that the younger players who have some potential , and to be fair there are a couple , come good at the same time.

Tom Briscoe - 20, England representative
Danny Houghton - 22, fringes of becoming England representative
Jordan Tansey - 24, SL and NRL experience
Sam Moa - 24, SL and NRL experience, current Tonga International
Richard Whiting - 25, former Young Player of the Year and coming into his 8th regular season as a player

To name but a few.

Just logged onto HullFC.com and though we'd signed up Wolfie for a second!

Agar reckons he could do a job in the back-row

Huddersfield? Leeds?

Stupid question maybe but does Rovelli count on the qouta. He has played for italy could he have a european passport??. If we do indeed complete the signings of Diskin, Westerman and 1 of Rovelli or Robinson I would be happy with squad upgrades. I'm sure we would have enough in props with Moa,ogre,radders, fitz and 5th choice Dowes on a much reduced contract
Hulk could cover prop when injuries occur

Yes he's quota

Seems like Diskin is off to Bradford.
