The article states hard working prop.
Ashurst is a hard working player but he’s a back row.
He was also supposedly signing for Oldham according to west Yorks press.

It's just wishful thinking from the dobbin

Other than Ashurst & Thornley being two players there is little else to connect them to signing for Hull. As has been mentioned we are after and closing in on a forward which rules out both of them.

It maybe that we have gone back to Wire for Bullock as he'd agreed a deal and was about sign for us during his short loan stint until they recalled him. From what I've heard Burgess doesn't see him as part of his plans so he may be willing to let him go to release cap space.

If true would be happy with Bullock. Also King is free next year. I know he only played limited time for us but certainly got stuck in.

No quota space

I'd cry if we used a quota spot on King

Bullock would be a decent addition, i even think Hill would be okay for a season. King would be a waste on the quota and no point worrying about Thornley/Ashurst as they wont be coming.

I don't see us signing Hill or Bullock, think both will have options in Lancashire.

Not sure what is happening with Bullock at Salford, he wasn't getting selected towards the end of the season?

Maybe he is injured?

Sign him up!
