by June if Hull are bottom 2 or 3 they will have no pulling power to sign anyone of any clout. The current finance constraints on the club means in a bidding war for players they lose every time. Think the only thing that will change your fortunes is a new NRL, well connected coach. You need to lose 3 of your overseas players ASAP and bring in some real good second tier/ fringe players but the current coach is sadly way out of his depth with the modern game.

People saying JWH is a bad signing for rovers but I'm sure they wouldn't be saying that if he was in our pack on Friday night!

good call re Okunbor
I said we would see him on the wing now and again
Think Litten will play but he is not S/L quality at centre or wing

Defensively stronger than litten, plus you get yardage from.backfield

Littens no winger

Whilst Johnstone and Davies are fit at Catalan, we should look at getting Fouad Yaha on loan, experienced winger and would provide us with some size in the back and help with our exit sets

Captain. Vice captain and last years captain all out.

I'm guessing that Nu Brown or Sutcliffe will be skipper.

You have a low bar for outstanding.

That just shows how inexperienced our side will be on Friday.

Plus he’ll be another year older by the time he joins them.

Let’s see how many games he plays this season?

Very definition of a player coming to the end of his career looking for one last pay day.

Think defensively that would be our best bet especially out wide.

No way should Martin be at centre.

It is the most difficult position to play defensively, as proved by Litten, and he shouldn’t be put under that pressure.

He's played over 300 NRL games and 33 times for the kiwis, like Pritchard in 2016 or Kearney in 2005, someone like that would be perfect for us...we've no experienced head for the young players to learn off, JWH could provide that...and no doubt will for rovers young forwards
