From the Chairmans comments it is likely to be a couple of young forwards. I cant see them letting Lloyd go, so perhaps Burke, Crosby and/or Spencer? Wigan have let a few young backs go already in Marsh/Mellor and Russell so cant see us getting a back off them.
Whichever players we get will be well schooled that is for certain.

And with your upweighted coaching team of Sandy, Chester and Lee Radford, their careers should springboard to the next level. Unlike your neighbours who are foolishly cutting back and scrimping in this area, n'est-ce pas?

Spit roast?

The likelihood of more exposure to first team rugby should help accelarate their progress i would hope. Wigan have an outstanding coaching set up so i wouldnt be foolish enough to suggest that ours is better.

I've had dinner thanks, OOOHHHH

We didn't do Josh Charnley any harm

Perhaps. But if you're bringing in young Wigan players to give them first team chances, it's somewhat contradictory to the message that the future is all about East Hull lads. They already have an array of experienced overseas forwards ahead of them in the pecking order - Paea, Tuimarvarve, Paterson, O'Hara, Withers, Mika, Lovegrove as examples, plus Horne, Griffin, Cox, Netherton etc. What's the pathway for the East Hull brigade if you're saying the Wigan youngsters will get plenty of first team action?

Nobody has ever said that the future is ALL about East Hull lads, and certainly not the immediate future. There is however a real and genuine pathway into the first team for young players at our Club if they prove themselves good enough. Nothing is guaranteed, and shouldnt be if our aim is to re-establish ourselves in the top 8.
Wigan have got the best youth set up in the country, i have seen various youth sides of theirs murder ours over the past few years. If we get the opportunity to sign some of their lads who have proven themselves to be amongst their best but slightly short of their first team expectations then we should jump at it.

The strong likelihood, though, is that these players will be looking at a stint in Rovers first team as a stepping stone to a longer term Lancashire gig. Couple of years and they're back, having taken the opportunity denied to a promising and loyal East Hull player. There are already 11 forwards ahead of them in the rankings, add in 2 Wigan rookies, that makes them 14th choice forward at the club at best. Tough to keep motivated in that environment, but luckily Radders will deliver a coaching upgrade to the current set-up, as you say.

not really 14th choice are they as all the players you mention cover 6 positions its like you signing crookes when lineham is just as good if not better

You dont half talk some rubbish. Why dont you try giving a genuine opinion as opposed to sticking to your agenda?

I can see your point, it is afterall, quite rare for a Chairman to say one thing, and do another.

Not that rare.
Year 3 onwards, challenge for silverware
Announcing signings early in a poor season is selling the fans short
We're not a selling club
We're already the best team in Hull
£1m loan will be used to enhance facilities and infrastructure

I really should post more on the HDM comments section.

Indeed. We can also add:

We will be signing 2 quality half backs from a list of 4
There will be 6 future internationals announced in September

I could go on, but you get the jist. Bloody Chairmen eh?
