The HDM said on 1st June that regarding Faraimo "Hull Live understands a deal has been agreed to keep him in East Yorkshire for another two years."

However last week they were saying he was "expected to remain at the club beyond the end of the year". So not quite cut and dried.

I'd love to see Fonua back at the club, he's a real game changer.

I’d have fonua back , but depends who he’d be replacing . I’d have him over Faraimo , but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s connor or Carlos , have heard Catalans would like Carlos .

It's June, worry about next season in November.

We got a game with the current squad we have on Saturday,

I think the tread you’ve commented on is a bit of a give away . You’ll need to start one on the Catalan game !

Unless we can slip Mahe in for this years cup

If he was fit, you could, up to 8 days before the semi. Crazy.

I dont know Dave as nothing has been announced yet by the club.I hope we are because we need another big front row and a second row as a minimum.
I have been saying for months as you know that Griffin should be used as a second row and many on here are now saying the same thing, but not a starting second row but used as an impact player off the bench.
Radford got a get out of jail card and i agree things are looking brighter.Good for him

I was thinking more of the final

Still think our backs are more than good enough if we strengthen and improve our pack as that is where the bulk of recruitment needs to be done. Still think Griffin has been great at centre this season and been very valuable there. We have Griffin, Conner, Tuimavave, Faraimo, Swift & MDJ already so why do we need Fonua adding? Unless we unload a couple of backs.
Whilst he may have been more exciting than Faraimo I don’t think he’s far behind as for all the good stuff Fonua did he had more brain farts than Faramino.
It’s the pack we need sorting as likely losing Westerman, Hadley, Mini, Manu & Paea so there’s a lot to replace and try to improve on to move us forward. We can’t rely on Tag bailing us out on his own like he has done before.
We need more physicality and size in the middles and at least one or two with good handling/offloading ability.
Not always a good idea bringing players back either.

Bit of a clue in the topic title, this is about recruitment for 2020.
