EXCLUSIVE: Rovers sign Charlie Gubb : Tue Jul 24, 2018 10:40 pm  

I can exclusively reveal HULL KINGSTON ROVERS are on the verge of announcing the signing of Canberra raiders powerhouse prop Charlie Gubb. The 6 foot 2, 17 stone Kiwi brute is set to arrive in Hull later this week, too late for the derby but well in time for this Fridays imminent transfer deadline.

Gubb, 28, had previously agreed to join Leigh Centurions, however the deal was provisional on them reaching the Middle 8s a fate the club has now accepted is beyond them. Rovers have acted quick to snap the impact forward up and he will provide more firepower to an already large pack ahead of the crucial Middle 8s.

Not a bad signing at all if true along with Caton-Brown great bit of business. RRTR

Mose Masoe is Samoan don’t they count as non fed players still seems to many Carney, heff, Vaivai, Quinlan, Bobby Blair, may be heff has a Europe passport that would make him a non fed player or maybe they will get rid of carney if there signing Caton-Brown

I'd take this with a pinch of salt - usually Mario is far off with all of his signing predictions. The aforementioned lack of quota space is a pretty big problem to come over.

I wouldn't mind seeing it happening - very surprised if so.

Looks impossible with 7 non fed including 5 full quota already on board.

Perhaps Justin Carney has left early Heff is not full quota but could well have been de-registered for season 2018.

We'll know with the next 2 days.

Widnes look to be strengthening significantly through Leigh's fire sale as well.

Complicated systems tend to have more unintended consequences than simple ones, and the 8s ain't simple ones!
