Good signing, but I can see it now, Leigh lose a centre for the season and Dawson asks to be released from his contract, and we allow it,,,, again

Not really a Centre, out and out winger from his time at Leigh- very good one mind, not the fastest but works hard for the team. Great finisher and makes plenty of yards taking pressure off forwards at the PTB

Anywhere near back to fitness and you have a good signing there

NOt actually players (and I may have missed it ) but who is taking over from Sawyer and Perez who were supposedly short term placements?

Re: Players Joining and Staying Thread... : Sat Jan 25, 2020 12:59 pm

So, will the much talked about influx from a SL team in January, mentioned as Leeds, happen this week? If I recall in 2017 they came in the week The season started but to be fair that was only about 4 weeks after we re-formed. Let’s see what happens

Re: Players Joining and Staying Thread... : Mon Jan 27, 2020 11:10 am  

Well, it all depends on whether the DR with Hull has changed the equation. We're allowed 5 loan players total in the game day squad. We've 2 from HKR. So we've 3 slots left. I would guess maybe 1 from Leeds maximum, season long loan for stability would be best. A succession of short loans seems pointless. Which leaves 2 slots for Hull to use for the DR. Being sent those 4 players last week vs Dewsbury didn't work. The big prop went well for us yesterday I thought.
Unless the Leeds connection isn't needed now and we're just going to focus on the Hull D/R.

Well looking at the Bulls homepage we've only got 19 1st team players.
Yes, there are lads in the reserves with 1st team numbers, but I don't see anything but a season of struggle unless we're able to bring in some extra bodies through what ever means

That was Josh Bowden - who according to Wikipedia - has played 146 games in SL for Hull. I agree that makes him a heck of lot more useful than some kid that we've never heard of before. We might as play Ebon Scurr or Keelan Foster than play Hull youngsters who frankly aren't probably any 'further on' in their development than those who came up through our own Academy.

It's missing Matty Dawson-Jones which would bring it up to 20. But even a couple of those first team players are highly inexperienced.

To be honest, I guess this is the bed you lay in when you've had years of not paying people on time and swindling them out of their pension payments (erm... allegedly). You can have as many "new" owners as you like, but when the previous 3 or 4 have been dodgier than Del Boy, I'm not sure I'd gamble my family's future if I had other options. Add in that they're recruiting late because they had to have a fire sale to pay the debts and you're pretty stuffed on every side.
