Before we've played Wigan once! (Probably a good thing given current performances)

Didn't Pearson say there'd be a couple of new faces in before the Leeds game? Hopefully he's true to his word and we have a new half and new second rower in.

Even with the best intentions, it's difficult to bring quality players into a struggling team part way into the season. Hopefully tomorrow and Tuesday will bring some positive news about both a coach and players. I know we could all do with some good news but I bet the team could do with it too. There's too many kids on the park at the same time right now and it's not sustainable.

Yes AP did state that there would be at least two more new players in for the Leeds game. Let’s hope eh!
New coach named as well anyone?
I doubt that, but let’s just dream.

Which is true, but when your fan base is already annoyed by poor recruitment, a head coach serving up abysmal performances, questions around whether the cap is being spent or not, you can't then make a statement that there will be new faces in by the Leeds game and not follow through with it, otherwise it just further undermines the trust your fan base has in you and further alienates/annoys them

I bought a bit of the wire v leigh game yesterday and thought how good it would be to watch a game of ours that was close and nit done by half time.

Can't see us bringing in much In terms of quality before the game

He didn't actually say that there would be guaranteed new signings by the Leeds game, but that they were trying to sign some in time for the Leeds game. Just extracted the quote from Hull LiveShopping in the NRL market at this time of the year is not easy, and the UK market is even more difficult, but we're relatively confident that in the next two weeks, we'll see one or two arrivals in the team, hopefully in time for Leeds.'"

We have seven of our own players back over the coming weeks so really dont see the point in short term loans/signings
Fans now know the situation and i would rather the club put all their efforts into getting some quality and hopefully a big name or two in for next season to get some excitement back into the supporters

A lot will depend on who is available and what they would bring to the squad. Whilst we have a big squad, there's a lot of inexperience. If they right players can be brought in to give some confidence and improve performance, I wouldn't object. Short term signings can work both ways and there's not a lot to lose right now.

see your point but the seven players coming back in are what we would consider to be first team players apart from Mitch but even then i would have him in the team at centre just for his defence
Given what is probably available in the loan/short term signing market wont make any difference to where we will finish in S/L which is bottom three and the money saved is better spent elsewhere.

See if we get any movement on the potential signing from the Canterbury player

The problem is we are probably averaging seven players missing every game so unless our discipline improves and our bad luck with injuries changes you could see Ashworth, Fash, Trueman and Carlos back but, say, Ese'ese, Pele, Sutcliffe and Cator being unavailable.

Really tough being able to bring anyone in so early in the season but if we can we should, I think.

As expected. Things are proving difficult. https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... ty-9238230

The seasons gone so I'd rather we kept our powder dry on permanent signings unless they are good quality and warrant a longer deal

Drinkwater and Olly Russell both clubs won't let them leave till cup involvement finished. I agree need a few in we can't keep flogging the youngsters there confidence will be virtually drained soon. Would like Royle from Saints need an 80 minute second rower.
