I'd agree with that, though one prop would be enough if we promote and retain the right players. Hodgson would be an option for the wing, but is approaching 30. Ainscough only signed for one year at Bradford and would be a younger, more exciting (if certainly more erratic) choice.

1 visit to the polynesian prop factory, 1 Shaun Ainscough or David Hodgson, 1 Tommy Lee (ducks and covers).

The times they are a-changing - retention is the new recruitment, I reckon.

Should try target Harrisen Hansen from Wigan, failing that, audacious bids for Roby or Luke Robinson!!

I personally wouldn't touch Ainscough with a 10 foot pole ( I dont know any ten foot Poles before anyone starts!). His defence is appalling. I don't think he fits the Morgan template for a winger. Hodgson would be a much better bet in the short/medium term, although he would have to be sensible over his wage demands - I understand he is on a v.good deal at Hudds.

Big prop & new hooker are the 2 priorities for external recruitment. However, the priority should be to sign up some existing players in this order:

1. Taylor
2. Galea
3. Briscoe
4. Watts
5. Cook

After that, I would consider letting the rest leave, Vella is past it, Colbon is way too average and Cockayne embarrasses the club too often.

Hodgson wouldn't be a bad signing at all, still has a few good years left in him.

I would give Rob Worrincey a shot from Halifax, go for Jon Wilkin, we need to keep Scott Taylor and I would give James Green from the reserves a full time contract also. We need another hooker but cnt think of a suitable realistic replacement in the UK, I like Matty Smith, does he play hooker ? and would be good cover for the half backs, then there is the old chesnut, how about Andy Ellis ?

Worrincey isn't SL standard, just a decent Championship player. Wilkin is on a long term deal and won't be interested in leaving Saints. I like Matty Smith but he's more a 7 than a 9, and not fit to lace Dobson's boots. We need a specialist 9 to move us forward. Andy Ellis is a great kid, but I would hope we can do better than him, keeping Fisher would be a better move than bringing Ellis back, and I don't think Fish is the answer either.

We should have gone for Diskin when he became available.

I would be shocked and amazed if we even consider brining in Worrincy!

Get Allams money spent on Clark from Cas.

Briscoe going to Widnes Cockayne fullback

New Winger Utai

My Prop would be Cashmere from Salford

Hooker Keep Fisher and Hodgson his only problem is around play the ball needs to learn to pass off the floor at dummy half Morgan need to work on this weekness

Cockayne to fullback takes us backwards to 2007 standard. He's simply not good enough to be trusted with the No.1 shirt week in week out.

I like Cashmere, what's his contract situation at Salford?

Harrison, Robinson, Roby, Utai? Is this the Hull fc board?

The re signing of Dobson is key and if you can't get better uk players in then releasing Vella, Fisher and Galea would be useless.

I do agree that Tommy Lee would be a good signing for you though.

This is true, Galea is currently playing his way into a new contract, Vella I'd still wait on but like you say, if we can't get better UK players then there's no point letting him go. Fisher I think has had his day, still good but I'm sure we could get someone as good whose British. I've always liked Godwin at Salford but I assume he signed more than a one year contract.

You think that money's for transfers?

All it's done is made sure you're able to spend full cap for 2 or 3 more years.

Oh, and settle with Mason.

Would be surprised, along with Milner they rate him very highly over there.

Im not surprised, both have done well but Clark has been the most impressive. They have Hudson so hopefully would allow Clark to move to us(wishful thinking!)

Worrincey, Ellis, Lee..................................

We do have some fans with a wierd outlook on how to improve the squad

Worrincey is crap we have better
Ellis is not as good as Fisher and about on par with Hodgson (who is young and will develop)
Lee, couldn't hold a place at FC or Crusaders, we have better already.

I would rather see a flat season in 2012 and bring in some youngsters, rather than sign players of this underwhelming quality.
