I would say Nicklas's skill set makes him more suited to playing at 7 which is what he seems to be playing for our 20s as neither him or Williams have the best running game and are more about distributing and controlling play.

I thought Nicklas was the 6 and Williams the 7. I was told Williams was at least 2 years away yet but not heard much about Nicklas, could he do a job this season at 7?

With Parramatta Looking more and more likely to sign Matt Orford, I wonder if there is a deal to be done with our old mates Steve Kearney and Peter Sharp to get Dan Mortimer here at Hull for a couple of seasons. I would imagine that they would have to free up some cap space to accomodate any cost of compensating Bradford for Orfords services.

Mortimer looked a bit lost at the back end of the season, but is certainly a talent.

Just a thought.

No chance with Mortimer but I'd take Robson.

You reckon? I would say chances would be slim, but letting the kid come play Super League for a couple of years would really improve his attacking game IMO. I would imagine that Kearney would want him to learn from Orford if he went there, though.

Robson would be a decent signing.

any updates to-
Dowes
Westerman
Prescott
Rovelli

would rovelli count as a qouta player? I think he has played for Italy

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 079909.stm guess players are available if you look hard enough. Cant help wonder if we did the ground work for this deal.

what do you mean are you hinting at the hethertingtons? i thought maybe he signed for leeds because buderus did the ground work since they played together

besides, would you be happy signing another prop on the quota? i guess i would if they're good enough but can't say i know much about cross

TBF Leeds have known for a while that Eastwood was going home and will have been active in the market for a while.

To bring a 30 year old prop across would need more then a one year deal in the majority of cases so I would hope Cross was never on our radar.
