Are there any that we should genuinely be optimistic about?
Charles, Staveley and Balmforth are all in my future 17,.though I expect Blamforth will follow the many options he will have at the end of the season..
Haven't seen them play but Armstrong and Wainhouse are rated highly.

From what I've seen from the games over the last year or 2 Armstrong and Wainhouse could with the right application and luck (injury wise) become very very good players. Then a little further behind that age wise is Roman Dawson, Jeylan Hodgson and Logan Moy again all highly rated within the club. I think both Armstrong and Wainhouse would've both made their debuts this year if it wasn't for injury. Hopefully they can all kick on and become first team regulars.

Roman Dawson will be a great player, expect him to debut next season for the first team.
Bullock not picked again, but they had two go off with head injury assessment so won't be getting him back for a week or two, but would be looking at him long term.
I know Abdul has some issues with being in Hull (no ides what) but would love to get him back here, have him, Charles and Trueman has our halfs, gives us another quota spot for a backrower or centre.
As it stands we will probably have 3 quota spots, Hoy, Brown and Carlos, be shocked if Ockubor is here next year too, I'd be happy for Sao to go too, but don't think that will happe.
5 new quota spots would be great (centre, SH, Hooker, backrow and LF)
Alot of wages discount on the academy lads , to go big with 5 quota spots with hopefully a couple of marquees depending on financial news. Imperative we get the next recruitment window absolutley spot on, could possibly add a quota ŵinger instead of loose forward
I would be very surprised if he came back to Hull for either side. He needs to be away and been back in Hull just ain’t on the cards in the short term.

Satae looks far fitter and more powerful than he did at FC, the benefit of good coaching and decent strength and conditioning I guess

Is there a particular reason why he seems to find trouble at home? Is he in with a bad crowd? I genuinely have no idea of the lads circumstances.
He's a fantastic player but he always seems to thrive outside of the hull bubble.
