Wonder if it’s the one Jake’s buying.

Think he’s buying a house in Adelaide Street, which is where the NRL rumour came from.

I saw this earlier. He'd end up being a more expensive Lovodua, I think. He's on 750k a season

I think it’s 750k over 2 years, still it is crazy money when you think of the salary cap over here. Wests are just a absolute shambles of a club right now

It's per season according to reports in aus. Wests would have to sub us 700k of it to make it worthwhile....

In the link I posted if you scroll down Hooper quotes it as 300k then 350k.

From how I understood it, the French deal was dependent on Connor leaving.

Think Jake sees himself as our number 1, so are after a 7.

A backrower would be nice too, I've got a feeling we'll use Griffin there though

Why would French come to Hull when if he wanted to stay in the UK he could extend his contract at Wigan or go to St Helens.
Connor now sees himself as a full back when last season it was a six.
If you play him at centre for a while he will then see himself as a centre
i doubt there was any serious interest in Connor from Australia.Their game is all about speed and defence which we all know Jake doesnt have plus another serious knee injury will not help his cause.
I agree we do need another second row as Savelio and Lane are hardly likely to worry most teams in S/L.
If Griffin is still here and carries his current attitude and form into next season he will not be in the team

Fair enough. Think it was the telegraph said it was 750 a season

Think we can both agree it's too much anyway

We'll agree to disagree about Connor. He could have a stab at centre in the NRL but that's my opinion. He couldve increased his earnings too without playing every game. Look at Gildart at Wests.

Interest in French was real.

Lane and Savelio is a decent backrow partnership for me. We need a bit more depth there though, we should take as much care with Andre cas we can and hope he comes back the same player.

Amazing how much you know about what goes on at the club and what players are thinking..

What position Jake wants to play, NRL clubs recruitment plans, Bevan Frenchs thoughts and you can see how we will do next season based on one player.
