Not sure about a player returning, but on a 1 year deal will give the younger props in the team more time to mature. Just hope he stays relatively fit then it could be a good deal for us.

Have you really room under the cap for a big earner like him? Surprised if you have at this late stage.

Re: gareth carvell : Wed Feb 05, 2014 7:14 pm  

Joined on a 2 year deal to Bulls, doubt he'd be looking to leave to just a 12 month deal. Seems a bit of strange one, feeling here is that he settled in well at the Bulls and is a popular squad member. Our chairman made a statement a couple of days ago stating players no longer needed to be sold and the 1st team was ring fenced now.

So I guess we'll have to wait and see if anything drastic has changed! Out of interest, what's Pitts like?

Think it will be two years, forget his time at hull, he has a very good recent fitness record. Can't blame him for wanting to secure his future for last two years of his career.

Pitts is solid, nothing else, we have plenty of cover and lots of young kids coming through, like Brad Fash.

I rate Pitts highly actually. Unfortunately for him second row is the area we are strongest and he is too light for prop. If you need a back rower he would do well for you. Good grafter but with plenty of skill aswell.
