Ryan Shaw confirm led on a 2 year deal aswell.

Personally I think he needs a couple of seasons to really bulk up before we see the best of him. Looks promising though.

By season 2017 Lawler will be a major young star In SL. I reckon he will make more appearances for us next year, probably in the low teens, but mainly off the bench.

I personally think Clarkson will be a good loose forward for us and an upgrade on McCarthy. Our starting 2nd row will be Blair and Larroyer. Initially Donaldson, Horne, Lawler and Ollett will start next season on the bench.

There again, the Blair theory could all be undermined if Campo can't run or kick off his dodgy knees at the start of next season, which is still a strong possibility.

PS - also forgot to mention our forgotten man, Jordan Cox. In the last year of his contract, it will be sh*t or bust for him.

I can't believe he hasn't asked for a release (maybe he has, who knows?) very rarely have I seen aa player more in need of a change of environment.

......or brain.

......don't think he's even potty trained yet. Cox was quoted as saying he was going to do a Welham this season; that is to step-up, fight for his place, impress Chezzie and nail a starting berth and contract extension during 2016. There's a farmer near me that has just spread that kind of stuff on his field adjacent to our favourite dog walk, the get.

I don't think he needs a change I just think since the problem with his spleen by his own admission he gets ill easily and is unable to train I don't think he will be able to play top level again and we will probably sign for Halifax mid season

Ah, OK, fair to the kid then.

Really awful for the lad, I did my ACL at nineteen, if that hadn't happened, I could have been a contender...

Welcome to east Hull Ryan Shaw 2yr deal

This is the way to go for British Super League clubs. Young British Talent, either from the academies or the Championships
Far better than signing a has been or never was player from the NRL.

Yep I hope we can find some more is their any nasty props down in the other leagues

Epapappy Lauiki is quite a nasty fella playing championship

Anyone else still worried that our recruitment in the backs by Chester will be undermined by our pack losing the forward battle as seen so often last season? I like the forwards we have signed but we are still missing power, most of ours are grafters which is fine but we need a couple of line breakers.

If recruitment is now over, as suggested by HDM, then I'd certainly be worried about lack of power in the pack. As you said, we got bullied way too many times last year and as we'd be going with essentially the same forwards as last year then I guess it would be more of the same. Hopefully the coaching staff see this and have got a couple more signings lined up. As the saying goes, forwards win the match, the backs decide by how much.
