Somebody has mentioned Chris heighington on Facebook...




















So must be true

Tandem, he picked Lynch up on the way.

Meehan on Twitter:
In sport tomorrow: We have developments on #HullFC's bid to sign #Bradford prop Andy Lynch, plus news of other targets.

liam fulton would certainly be a good realistic signing along with andy lynch and a good english winger broughton or mcgilvary possibly that top the recruitment off nicely.

No chance of getting McGillvary, recently signed a new long term contract and if Salford have any ambition, they wont sell Broughton, still has two years to run on his contract.

Would still need a centre

Agreed, a top centre is more of a priority than a winger.

Good news about the young lads getting FT deals, hopefully the new coach will help develop them and bring them into the first team.

Thats gives us a few young lads training FT

Quite excited about Bowden have heard some very good things about him, only started playing RL at about 14/15 so has done well with his devlopment, seems to have overtaken Aldous in the pecking order.

Lyne-winger
Crooks -centre
Nicklas -Halfback
Bowden -prop
Green -Backrow
Kent -Backrow
Pearce- Backrow
L Cunningham-Backrow

Seem to be weighted in favour of the backrow, gives up good backup for the firstteam.

Anyone know what has happened to Tom Lineman, has he a contract for next season.

Next to be signed should be J Cunningham. I also like the look of the scrumhalf Wilkinson fro the 18's.

Be interesting to see what happens to Aldous, Newton and Williams.

You missed off Jack Briscoe Dave

I know exactly whet you mean. My only fear is that it all ends up as disappointing as the last 4 or 5. Its almost ingrained in me now.

That all aside a couple of questions for folks. When was Gleeson confirmed as leaving? Seems to me we still have one of the top centres in the British game on our books. All this talk of new centre seems futile with him, Turner, Yeaman, Crooks on the books not to mention possibly Whiting and Horne.
Plus on the subject of winger I fail to see the point of a overseas winger as its a waste of a cap spot imo (Best being an exception 10 yrs ago) Sharp is part of the squad and has had a rough deal from an under pressure coach. Another winger coming in is another person who has to gel. With 6 already out and at least that number coming in we have to think about the affects that has on the squad gelling and hitting the ground running. Stick with sharp and Briscoe and draft in the youngsters as opposed to a new player.

It hasnt,but he wont be coming back.
