Seems be the rumour doing the rounds, looks like a Radford type player, a bit of a project like Fonua, rather take a risk on a young cheap player like this them spend big on someone like BJB, so we can spend some money on a forward or two
Ince at Widnes looks a good prospect too - very quick.
However, Rawsthorne, Naughton, Talanoa, Folau as the wingers doesnt look too bad. If we an create, they look like wingers who can finish. I wonder if Folau is being lined up to play centre though, with perhaps Griffin being released

I still think it's too early to be thinking about releasing Griffin.
Next season my the first choice backs should be
Shaul Folau Carlos Connor Talanoa
With Griffin, Naughton, Rawsthorne and Logan as back ups.
I know Rawsthorne made a couple of mistakes (who didn't) but thought he showed some good touches

Wouldn't be surprised to see Naughton released at the end of the season. I don't see him having a future with us. Rawsthorne, Griffin can be our back ups along with Logan in thand centres.

Naughton will go to another SL team I reckon, he's not got the physicality to be a Hull winger and he's not going to dislodge Shaul (even though Jamie's been coasting since Wembley, but that's for another thread). Good player on his day.

Whenever naughton has had a run in the team he's played really well. I'd rather have him on the wing than michaels as a back up but rawsthorne looks like he could be good with some more experience

Agree on Michaels, yet still people still rim him for some reason. Maybe they just don't want to fit Naughton into a chant.
Rawsthorne's height will be a huge advantage going forward and if he can provide safe hands under high balls he'll go well.
