All a bit pantomime but a bit silly nevertheless.
Also don’t think he left on the best of terms when he requested a move, and ended up at London. Don’t think Pearson was impressed at the time with how he went about it.

Cant see Lewis playing FB, with Hiku, Walker and Evalds, so you have to wonder which one will make way, Milnes rumoured to be off to Leeds though.
Conforms Schneider won't be there next season either,
Think we can chalk Shawn Blore off. West tigers are now intent on keeping him and he has another year left on his deal. Highly unlikely they’ll release him
Looking likely that Houghton will remain our starting hooker for next season. I don’t knock it, gives us another season to look for a replacement and allows us to pursue harder on other positions

Was surprised they were trying to release him, I hope it's Allick we are after, just the type of forward we need, we should be able to offer him money and first team rugby, which I don't think the Titans can do.
Has he started following Hull on social media yet ?

It's the right decision based on our needs and his form this year, just hope we bring Balmforth into the first team next year and use him as our bench hooker, reduce Houghton games and time on the field making him more effective like this year.
I don't see a better option than Houghton as starting hooker with what's available and no quota spots, backrow and halfback are the key.

Your original post is a non FC story. All the players you mention are contracted and to be honest I don’t think TS would be interested in any of them, especially Abdul, who it appears would be the one to make way. This topic is was supposed to be about the clubs possible shopping list not about signings that posters think they’d like, 417 pages of absolute drivel IMHO. I think FC should go all out to sign The Kangaroos second string, how’s that for an idea I just plucked out of the ether.
Just been looking at the respective signings stats etc, in Pele, Ese Ese and Taylor & Sao, we have a front row weighing in at over 73 stones. Really should ensure that we are not be beaten in the middle, where we have struggled this season and will give the half backs a decent platform, given the offloading game Smith encourages. The squad suddenly looks okay, with a couple of backrowers, one of which is Ashurst, we won't be an easy team to dominate. Still would like a really pacey winger, to replace Swift and , if we get the halfback signing right, I'd fancy us to be a very good team that should make the playoffs. Rovers have a very strong looking back division, but their pack is ordinary, Leeds are inconsistent, nobody knows how Burgess will do at Wire and Leigh will be a year older, (reckon Huddersfield will come good ) so our main rivals for top six all look beatable if we can just add the right men at 7 and wing.
