In

jordan abdull signed,and robert lui in talks.

Outs
Shaw,lunt,lee will not be offered contracts,maguire retiring.

Leeds have made a bid for maguire and drinkwater,both turned down.

Lunt has been good but now seems injuries prone if like we think Atkin is so good why did Leeds not go for him

Fair point,but I do think if you are a halfback,playing full back or hooker dosn't help showcase your talents.

Rangi Chase

Would it not be good business to sell both to Leeds at the end of July after we have played them, with the proviso that we are confident that our place in super league is secure? That assuming we don’t want Drinkwater or he won’t stay.

out sheens and webster
in james ford and paul cooke !!!!

Now that sounds good but if they do not hurry up it will be to late

Rovers are in talks with Jordan Thompson for next season. Wouldn’t cost you much and an honest grafter. I know some will be underwhelmed but he’s really not a bad signing for you.

No where not he’s under contract

Doesn’t mean the club aren’t looking to offload him. Not first choice for Hull and the club is looking to add some more quality for next season.

Out: Tim Sheens
In: anyone capable of giving half time talks that don't lead to us throwing yet another leading position

Suprised Maguire has been made your head of recruitment, after JP I would have thought you would have gone in a different direction. (Looking at Leeds squad)

Respected as a player just like JP but has he experienced in overseas unless of course your going to a home grown team which he has been around long enough to know the market. Mind you saying that we gave Ellis the job and that didnt work out too good either.

Time will tell as they say.

I’m not completely clear on his role and where it leaves our head coach (either Sheens or a new coach). I’ve seen it suggested that it’ll maybe be more an administrative role, taking on responsibilities from Mike Smith (cap management and contracts), but given McGuire’s area of expertise and his interview on HullKRTV, I think it has to be more about identifying and courting talent.

The Peacock thing came immediately to mind. The ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL thing imo is that McGuire sees this as being about improving Hull KR’s first team in the immediate future, when he assumes his new duties (or at least in the short-term), and not primarily an opportunity to prove a point about untapped young British talent.

Speculating, it suggests to me that Sheens is going at the end of this season or at most staying one more year. If it is to support a transition it makes most sense imo. I’d guess the scale of his input after the arrival of a new coach will depend on that coach.

Your in the running for Alex Mellor, he’s a good lad, with loads of potential.

Two championship coaches sends the message to me that we're preparing for relegation.

What's Tony Smith up to these days?
