Yes. Some have not worked out. Show me a club where every signing has been a success.

Mills was a weird one.

Esders and Ratu were about taking a punt on young British players - something we get a lot of stick for not doing enough. Gambles don't always pay-off, but they won't have been too expensive, I'd assume. See also Luke Menzies. If we get one Liam Watts for every 3 or 4 chances we take then that is a fair return.

Would the release of Ratu free up a Fed-trained place or was it a necessery release in order to conform with the RFL guidelines?
Rovers have that many players skipping between the 3 categories ive given up keeping up with who is in which.

I wouldn't rule out another signing yet IMO.

Well God help us if it's not a pukka, born and bred, whippet racing Englishman.

I can't for one second believe there is anything in the Washbrook rumour, it would be bad business for Hull to splash 175K on a transfer fee for one player whilst then releasing a contracted young english player from the remainder of his deal.
