Yeaman and whiting have no pace tbh

But there still our players and they'll be used as cover in the backs because they won't be first choice in the forwards either

FFS, he's absolute garbage

Broadened out a bit options for each positions

Full back -shaul,carlos,naughton

Wings -Fonua,Tala,Naughton,michaels,Lancaster

Centre - carlos, logan,fonua,michaels,Tala, yeaman



That gives enough scope to cover centres as so to never ever play whiting at centre again. Like the guy but his centre days are long ago

League Express running a story tomorrow on the Lee Smith rumour, saying he's on trial with us, not just training with us.

I can't see the sense of signing him. We do not need another squad player we need a strike centre or winger. If there is no one available at the moment just wait and see what happens.

Where has all this bolloxs about a "strike" centre or winger come from.How about waiting to see how the new signings go before we start saying stuff like this.Does the "strike" centre or winger start over the new signings or over Logan,Lancaster or Naughtonplayers people have been clamouring for us to play.

We're keeping tabs on the outcome of Ferres' disciplinary, along with Salford according to RL press. Presume they've mixed us up with Rovers?

The "bollox" about signing a "strike" outside back came from Pearson and Radford's pursuit of Carney. Despite the mantra we are happy with what we have got it seems they are not.



You've missed my point, there is no point bringing in an average player like Smith as he would only block the progress of the younger players, I agree with you, however if an outstanding player became available like AP and LR said in a RH broadcast, they would be interested. Smith is not outstanding he is a decent squad player. We should be aiming higher or settle with what we've got.

the only thing getting torn up at rovers this year will be campese's knee ligaments

According to AP in todays HDM.....



"We are at cap limit"

Were has Westerman wages gone then

Exactly.

?????????



IF,we are at full cap, Why give a trial to Lee Smith????

and interested in signing Carney as well. Puzzling.

.... maybe Pritchard + Westerman with the £175k marquee cap limit for Pritchard fitted under the cap.

Now Westerman has gone, the £175k may not be needed (at the moment) so we're currently at full cap.

The full question and answer was:



[iJS: You seem delighted with the squad, but there's talking of adding another player following Joe Westerman's departure. Where are you with that?[/i



[iAP: We are always looking to add one more, but at the minute we are at the cap limit and we have to be careful in what we do. It certainly looks a powerful squad on paper.[/i



Quite an ambiguous statement from Pearson, but always better to post the full thing.

I understand we are leaving a sum aside as well for the loan market should we need too. We would of used it last yr only we didn't leave anything spare to do so

Still don't quite understand how we can be at full cap when we have lost westerman.

Because we were breaking the cap with him on board and it was always the intention to release/sell him?

But the cap is live though, isn't it?

Ok then we would be in a position were we would be breaking it when the overseas players signed were on contract and being paid. We didn't actually break it as Westerman was released before that point

Possibly, I'm not sure. I had assumed that the cap being live means that the future cap spend is monitored too, in this instance 2016, but maybe not.



It could be that the 2016 cap is only 'live' and monitored from say the 1st of November, due to the player registrations for that upcoming season, and the club knowingly went over the cap momentarily for 2016, knowing a player could be released/sold/de-registered in time.

.... I'm pretty sure the cap year for 2016 starts tomorrow on the 1st December.

It is your forum tonight, innit?



Here's a polite and non-partisan cap-related question, if anybody fancies asking it:



'Adam, you're quoted in today's HDM as saying 'It's an expensive squad we've built'. Are Hull FC spending more on player wages than in previous years? Do Hull FC, or other clubs, manage the cap by temporarily de-registering players?'
