Shrek
Radford
Moa
PP

Doesnt really fill me with confidence at all. I see what your saying he will be on the cheap and hes young but with the current team we'll be pushing for 8th imo. Fingers crossed we get some top quality in after the nations.

He's only signing one prop and releasing two.

Hock is back sometime next season, and is tipped by some to play prop.

Also they have Tuson who came through late last year.

Prescott would be a decent signing a good/better replacement for Cusack, I would keep Dowes for a year also.

Add a young NRL halfback on a short term deal and we will have a decent team IMO.

I would imagine that is the plan but if you are waiting till after the nations you are cutting it fine.
Not extremely fine but fine enough.

Miss out on Fielden then we sign PP. Sounds about right.

7 years younger and looked great in the play-offs. But, of corse, we always see the bad side of things.

He looked okay in the play offs with very very good players around him. Its just a massive difference between so close to signing Fielden then we sign him.

He looked good when he was breaking tackles and offloading the ball, with no help from others to do it! He put in some great runs against Leeds, no matter who was around him.

I agree, Fielden would have been a good signing on his recent form and his experience, but PP has also been playing well and is a lot younger!

Maybe its me been negative but you see the other clubs signings and our rumoured signings then we get linked with PP. He may turn out to be a top player but it doesnt fill me with confidence for the coming season.

id still like to know if hull have a specific halfback target or are we still just looking at a few.theres conflicting messages coming from the club,are we looking at experienced cover like rovelli for example or are we after a young half back.
