I would guess that with the fans' forum coming up, we won't get to hear of any new signings until then.

Hopefully, they may have a couple of players lined up to be revealed on the night.

If they have, I hope they make an announcement about it soon in order to boost attendance numbers on the night.

I've been taking a closer look at the Hull squad to see who might be on Paul Coooke's wanted list.

Firstly, here's a bit of background with regards to rules and regulationsProps (icon_cool.gif Mickey Paea age 28; (10) Liam Watts age 24; (14) Iafeta Paleaasina age 22; (15) Chris Greed age 24; (22) Josh Bowden age 22; (30) Bobby Tyson-Wilson age 20.

The most likely DR candidate from the group would be[i Bobby Tyson-Wilson.[/i He's an England Academy international.

Hookers (9) Danny Houghton age 26; (23) James Cunningham age 20.

Hull look a bit light in the hooking department. Unless they sign another hooker, as much as I would like it to happen, it's hard to see James Cunningham coming to us.

Second Row/Loose (11) Gareth Ellis age 33; (12) Mark Minichello age 30; (13) Joe Westerman age 25; (17) Dean Hadley age 22; (16) Jordon Rankin age 23; (21) Richard Whiting age 29; (25) Jansin Turgut age 18; (26) Jack Downs age 19; (2icon_cool.gif Brad Fash age 18.

They seem well-catered for in this area. The three young lads look as though their first team chances could be limited. I don't know anything about the last two lads but[i Jansin Turgut[/i could be a good addition for us.

Half-Backs (6) Leon Price age 33; (7) Marc Sneyd age 23; (17) Jordon Thompson age 23; (29) Harry Tyler-Wilson age 17; (32) Jordon Thompson age 23; (32) Jordon Rankin age 22.

[iHarry Tyler-Wilson[/i is thought to be a star of the future. Again first team opportunities could limited. He could do with some game time against the grown ups before playing Super League. I'd guess Hull might be keen for him to come to us. Could we manage with two youngsters (Rich Wilkinson) and HTW playing in the halves? PC shifting to play at 13 in a more central role to guide both of them?

Centres (3) Setaimata Sa age 27; (4) Kirk Yeaman age 31; (19) Steve Michaels age 27; (24) Jack Logan age 19; (32) Jordon Rankin age 22.

The only candidate for a visit to the Keepmoat could be the young lad [iJack Logan[/i. Don't know much about him.

Wing (2) Tom Lineham age 22; (5) Fetuli Talanoa age 27; (31) Callum Lancaster age 18.

[iCallum Lancaster[/i scored a hat-trick of tries against Warrington last season. Unless the main wingers get injured he could be in need of some game time and experience. He'd be an excellent Dual Reg player for us.

Full-Back (1) Jamie Shaul age 22; (20) Curtis Naughton age 19; (32) Jordon Rankin age 22

I'm not sure we have a vacancy at full-back with Tom Carr coming and Dave Scott as cover.

Hull look to have plenty of cover in the back row but we have plenty of players ourselves for those positions.

The most likely candidates for Dual Reg appear to be

Prop Bobby Tyson-Wilson Jansin Turgut Harry Tyson-Wilson Callum Lancaster.

These lads could offer some potential pace and class to our squad.

What do the Hull FC fans think? Who would you like to see get some first team experience at the Dons?

Excellent post fella

Thanks Jemmo!

I agree, we don't need more young lads at all.
The Hull players that came and changed games for us last term were the established ones like Crooks and Whiting.
Once we lost them we were pants, as the play-offs showed.

Well spotted Karlos.

Paleaasina was born on 10th February 1983 - which makes him 31.

I'd actually typed his age as Josh Bowden's squad number. I'd got them next to each other on my piece of paper as I made my notes and got them mixed up!

In Carl's latest "In The Dugout" interview, he's hinted that there may be some new players for us to meet at the fans' forumhttps://www.doncasterrugbyleague.co.uk/article/41301/in-the-dugout-with-carlrl

Whilst I think Lancaster is probably the most likely, I agree that, with all the youngsters the Dons have signed, it would seem a backward step to give Hulls youngsters game time over our own. Would actually prefer it if we stood on our own, but may be tied to some agreement to play Hull players.

i think we should keep away from D/R
just causes trouble we don't need. We've got plenty of young players to bring on ourselves.

As well as the announcement during the week that Club Doncaster will be starting a rugby academy next year, with the aim of running it alongside the Dons..

Some good players there, but I worry that, should we rely on Hull players to make up a strong squad, what will happen when the split comes, with both sides,potentially, in the same 8. Don't think Hull would offer much help then, which , like last season, would leave us short when it matters.

It'll be interesting to hear what Paul Cooke has to say about DR for 2015 at the Dons' forum.

Maybe if Hull and the Dons ended up in the middle eight together, Hull would want us to have plenty of players from them to help beat the opposition unless we were actually playing them!

I'd like to see Hull have a good season and make the Super League top eight. Last season was a tough season for them. Now is probably the time for them to kick on under Lee Radford.

It was said once again on the in the dugout with Carl Hall that there may be a surprise at the forum. Fingers crossed its the kind we want.
