Hmm, no. He's not a replacement for Gaskell. He's not really a ball runner, but I'd offer him a deal to play 7 for us and then look for a 6 as well (Pryce?).

I'd take a 6/7 combo of Pryce/Charnock with Thomas as backup.

With our(Hull) two recent signings I think it means

We won't be keeping Pryce or looking to sign Gaskell.

Love rugby league saying a fully time championship club will announce a re-signing by the end of the week... Could this be us? Any rumours about at the minute? It's gone a bit too quiet! http://www.loverugbyleague.com/_app/new ... ip-41.html

It will be Leigh, buying another scrum-half for their collection.

http://www.totalrl.com/gossip-bradford- ... ue-hooker/ So apparantly we're on the verge of signing a SL hooker that's fallen out of favour. I notice Leeds have just pulled in Segayaro in as part of their swap deal with Penrith for Hardaker. I hope to all that is hopey that it's not Beau Falloon, the man who had the NRL subreddit 2015 worst player in his position award named after him - but was too crap to actually win.

Why are we after a hooker? With Addy doing ok there recently, O'Brien being the best hooker in the division (Higham perhaps the only one who may be better) and Lumb getting better every week, it seems a pointless acquisition. Unless it's a hooker that can also play in the halves, like a Scott Moore (although please god not him, he spends more time at Red Hall than on the pitch).

Re: Recruitment & Retention Latest : Thu Jun 23, 2016 12:27 pm  

Falloon is literally the only 'out of favour' SL hooker I can think of. I agree that such a signing would make no sense.

How about Adam Milner from Cas? Had a short spell at Bradford academy?

Re: Recruitment & Retention Latest : Thu Jun 23, 2016 12:38 pm  

Agree it seems strange as Lumb and O'brien make a great duo. Addy doesn't work at hooker for me as his distribution is too slow. Have to wait and see who it is. It's only short term so maybe it's to cover knocks or injuries. Or Smith just wants to keep us fresh for the M8s.

Hardly out of favour, he starts every game for Cas.

I though Paul McShane started for them most weeks. Sorry if i'm wrong, don't take much notice of the Castleford team
