The only evidence I can find of the Dean Hawkins rumour are the anonymous edits (from a Hull address) to his Wikipedia page.

He is being shopped around but I can't see how a kid with 3 appearances could get a visa

With the academy top of their league above the likes of Saints, Leeds and Wigan who all have top academy's.



My question is surely there's some out of our academy who will be shortly ready for an opportunity.



We have Balmforth, Litten, Barron, Burrell, Hookem, Severs, Staveley and Laidlow all making noises on the academy and reserves, we may not need to buy a ton of players if we're brave and bring them through.

Wonder if he'll make an International appearance for someone soon

We might be getting carried away with the French rumour. Found this on the Wigan Warriors forum

"He is no way going to Hull!



As he said to me tonight “I not going to Hull, don’t know where this has come from, if I leave Wigan it will be to go back home & to the NRL”



Ah well. We'll just have to sign James Tedesco instead.

Wonder if he'll be house hunting this weekend

He gave a real non committal post match interview last night. Could've poured cold water on any potential move

Agree need to focus on the youth.



We were skint at the end of the 90s and gave some young kids called Horne, Cooke and King (and later Yeaman) a go and look where that got us.

We won't sign French and if Connor goes we are in big trouble as I have no confidence in Hodgson recruiting a good enough replacement.

Exactly the kind of signing we don't need, we have plenty of young outside backs.

Get Shaun Wane in, we need a coach who the players are willing to run through brick walls for.

Few people saying Mau to Cas, very disappointing if that’s true

Yeah nailed on apparently. Also had it confirmed that Griffin has been on the phone with Radders asking if there's a deal there
