Murdoch on RH said he'd heard rumours that it might be one of his brothers but thought it very unlikely.

I don't think we'll replace him which will be disappointing. Fash and Masi have shown potential but to challenge for honours this season we need more than that. Despite his on/off-field faults Watts is a very important player for us and we are a weaker team without him.

Can't see we'll get anyone in this term, there's no quality available.

Any of the Burgess brothers would be great (apart from Luke) but unlikely

Where on earth has the Burgess thing come from? More chance of plaiting fog than signing any of them.

Maybe so

I think back row is more important for us to beef up than front row. Without knowing who the club might have already sounded out, I'd dangle some cash in front of salford for josh jones

if one was available, highly unlikely as i think radders has complete faith in our back up, lane will be like a new signing if he continues his leeds form, id guess at it probably being tom, weren't cas linked/rumoured at the start of the season? cant see sam or george leaving oz as the both have kids and another on the way for georges' partner


think we will go with who we have

as for watts, was gutted to hear the news first, but like many said, full faith in Adam, Lee and Gareth who will take us up another level again i reckon, players come and go, im thankful we can produce our own and not one of these teams constantly searching for players and ending up with garbage (wire, kr, catalan for eg)

guess he still waiting then! maybe when he messes up at cas he may get the opp!

Hopefully we won't panic and save the money for the right type of player.

With this, the Aussie trip, shirt sales and consecutive Wembley trips, I hope we are looking at a marquee player, even it's for next season.

Probably got some money for a mid season signing aswell and need to keep an eye out for what is happening at Salford

Not for me Josh Jones.

Maybe on his Saints form but don't think he has reached that standard for a few years now.

I’d take Jones from Salford, whether it be now or next season, very underrated player and can cover centre easily too. I’d keep an eye on Lui and Sa’u too, likely be short with Kelly and possibly Carlos going.

HDM are normally pretty close to the club sources.."The sale of Watts by Hull is about choosing unity over talent". Seen a few comments about senior players/Ellis likely to have had a say. Cited 18 times in a year on the pitch as well.

Still gutted mind.

Maybe, but Lui and Jones aren't in the same bracket as Kelly and Watts unfortunately.

I’d see Jones as a replacement for Mini but yes Lui not as good as Kelly, think we’d struggle to get anyone near as good as Kelly though.
