Excellent news. These kids are from well established success driven clubs. To be honest they’re also Sl ready whereas some of our young kids need another season.
Our kids in the Academy have had a great 1/2 season, and everyone things they can then step up and perform for the first team, it isnt as simple as that. Halsall has bossed it when on Dual Reg or Loan in the lower leagues, whereas Litten, Barron and Walker have struggled. The players we are bringing in are to see us through to the end of the season. Gives our kids a chance to continue their development. Imagine if Litten came in for the Derby and has a nightmare, in a huge stadium, big audience, in a Derby. It could set him back months! Balmforth is different, as for me, he is a level above in that Academy, but let the others progress as they are, they will be better for it in a year

I take IH's point though. If it's just for a couple of weeks just give Litten a game instead.
Walker "promising" can barely get a game at a average leeds side

Myler is OK at full back but nothing special
Remember us signing Raynor from Leeds when he couldn't get a sniff of the first team? Carvell? Remember Lolohea becoming the scapegoat at Leeds before leaving and becoming one of the top fullbacks in the comp. There's no reason Walker can't excel at Hull. Way I see it, we need as many fresh faces from outside as possible to overcome this strange mental issue we've developed that seems to be ingrained in the entire squad. My only issue is that he's not the "link" fullback we possibly need, however he's young enough to learn.
The words of fools mean nothing to one who resides in the truth.
