Agar probabaly said the same thing before the start of last season.

i think that will depend on the quality available, you wouldn`t want to block a young players route into the first team by signing an average player, however if a player of top quality is available given room on the salary cap the club would be foolish not to make a move.

Smailes has said Ferguson was a target but Hull have moved for someone else. Don't see it being an overseas player personally.

The thing is Paul whoever we bring in has to better than the young players we already have at the club, i don`t see any British players who may be available falling into that category.

We may pay a fee? Either way we'll just have to wait and see but not getting my hopes up for someone like Minnichello or Manu.

we might do Paul, just hope it isn`t a signing like Jay Pitts as i would rather give Kent or Green the chance to see if they can cut the mustard at the top level.

Someone like Pitts or Ferguson whilst still young do have a degree of experience so it would held to strengthen the squad. In Gentle we trust!

Looks like they have someone signed up, bit worried about the quality of the player, unless we pay a fee, but not sure who would sell a player at this moment.

Would guess it would be Jay Pitts, wouldn't be greatly happy, but he has got a lot more experience than any of our young players and when he first came on the scene was the best British Foward in the game for his age, hasn't really kicked on though.

Pitts was mentioned by The Brother 2 months ago.

I'd like to see Johnson from Wakey in a Hull shirt.

No chance of Agar letting him go to us!

If, after Gentle and McCrae have scoured the nrl and sl respectively for two months, all we can come up with is a forward of the quality of Pitts (or similar), I would rather us sign nobody and hope that Gentle can get the best out of some of these academy forwards that Fubar has kept hidden away for so long.

Hopefully Fubar was an even bigger idiot than most fans thought (very difficult) and we actually have a couple of academy forwards who can step up and make a real difference under the tutorship of a proper coach.

Well his record with youth is exceptional, apparently, so you'd imagine so.

Just heard Gentle say on the radio that we are talking to a COUPLE of players.

To sign both of them or potential to sign one of them?
