If we could get a really good NRL Fullback or Stand off I'd sign Matty Smith if he is Available.

thought priorities for next season were a scrum half and a centre to play inside calderwood on the right?

agree that we have had money tied up in crocker and probably held back but with the number of OOC players for us this season a bit of forward thinking could have seen us sign both

Said it before and will say again - Why the hell would a player of Soliola's (sp) stature want to come to Hull FC when Saints are sniffing around? We'd be about 5th on his list!

Priority is a SH without any doubt whatsoever.

After that I would not say for certainty a centre, depends on who stays, we could need a fullback, we might need a prop. If Lee/Houghton do really well we might move Berro into the centres.

we could keep whiting at cantre to partner calderwood as they seem to be developing a good partnership so far.

Most players would play anywhere for the top dollar. If you pay them what they're worth - or what they want (which might not be the same figure) - they'll move to Hull FC or anywhere else. They're mercenaries, like footballers and other professional sportsmen, and who can blame them - they have a short career.

Moving Berrigan to centre would be a waste as we dont give the centres much service, it was proved last season first game at Warrington when Berrigan played Centre it just didnt work and in the end he was moved back to Hooker

However with a new SH that could be different and if its not then it also would show that signing Soliola would be a waste.

A top 7 and people may be happy and forget less about soliola . Doesnt mean we wasnt after him just coz saints got him . We cant sign every single player.

I bet you'll be able to get Ste Tyrer and Matty Smith on loan for next year and there better than what you've got already

Turnstyle Tyrer



Matty Smith is a decent on a good day but Tyrer is bloody awful.

Even Scott Moore would go well with Berrigan coming off the bench when Moore gets tired
