Thats exactly what we need at Hull but what does Ritchie Rich do sign Hardaker.
You have to wonder if he has left his brain at Leeds and is working from a lucky bag.Got lucky with the first ball out Asiata but since then has been left with a bag of average Joes

There is a a fine line with experimenting and playing with strongest team. I doubt Armstrong would have agreed to come if he was to play on the wing so with that, unless Lam is moving , I see no issue in pairing up the understanding with Moylan. With that , a lot will depend on the 13 we bring in and how we play in attack. With Catalan signing partington that may pave the way for Garcia as a few have expected

I'm not too sure there's much of a fine line now. We're at the point where we need two clubs to absolutely implode to have a chance of top 6, and also, the last 5 games have seen us score 6 tries with 4 of them being barge overs from dummy half or first reciever. So we can't just keep going in the same way.

I think Ipape needs to start at 13, while Asiata builds his minutes up, because our shape in attack looks all over the place when we don't have a playmaker there

We need a bit of ‘Off the cuff” from the halfbacks, our play is a bit pedestrian ending in a kick to the opposition.
We also have virtually redundant wingers because both centres are selfish.

Rhys Martin would be an excellent signing, but in the pack not at Centre surely :?

The fine line I was referring to would be not to treat games like an experiment, people are still paying top money to see Leigh get a result, granted we are in a position where by we maybe safe from relegation but unfortunately, a big portion of the fans will not see it like that and will not take to kindly to getting a bit of a smashing due to trying something different .

I've a feeling L Lam could be on his way home. Not lived up to his usual standards this year and surely you'd work towards next year and build his partnership with Moylan with O'Brien back to full back. Armstrong is coming to be full back, not a chance you shove him on the wing.

Lower Creaser - Problem is, we're not getting results. We've manged to win 2 successive league games once. For example, picking Ed Chamberlain as an extra centre / second row was an awful selection. Surely that was the time to put McIntosh at full back and Moylan at 6?

Funnily enough, our attack has looked at it's best when McNamara has been in the halves. It may be coincidence, but I wonder if there's work he did to organise and get an attacking shape, that allowed Lam and Moylan to shine. We've looked pretty toothless in this run of away games.

Matty English available from Huddersfield from 2025, with us releasing a load of fringe players (some have never played first team) he would be a perfect signing for us, young, experienced none quota prop with his best years ahead. We have never had a good Stock props like Wigan.
