Good luck to Ben. I hope it all works out for him.

The problem we have next year is that there will be more teams that will beat us if we dont stop the 10-15 min laspes we seem to have (and have had for years). I personally dont see us making even making the 8's unless we get a leader in on the field, who can keep the players concantration for the 80 mins.



Next season I dont think one team will dominate like in the last seasons, whoever comes down from SL will also struggle considering Toronto and Toulouse will be there, Fev will be strong, Fax around as well, plus us.. If I was a betting man I would have us at best 3rd and at worst 6th. Personally after watching us in the 8's and the way we lost our way in games when it mattered, my belief is that next year we are not going to make the 8's, and that will then be it as far as Full Time goes.



I'm still going to get my Season Ticket for next year, as I think Next Year could be the last one we have full time.

...the last until we find our very own Eric Perez, someone who understands that simply paying bills just so you can watch YOUR VERY OWN TEAM from a Directors chair is a recipe for disaster.

Kameron Pearce-Paul the latest to sign on for another year.



Just awaiting the re-signing of Ben Evans and news of who the new recruit is from Super League.



Then the task begins of replacing Ackers & Barthau.

I cant imagine Season tickets are flying of the shelf at the mo! How underwhelming

To be honest, I can't actually see them replacing Ackers and Barthau. I imagine they will have Api as the first-choice instead of Barthau and use an academy player (Matt Davies) as cover and will obviously have Cunningham as first-choice Hooker and use Sam Davis from the academy. I imagine the recruit from Super League will be a Prop. I agree, it is very underwhelming. Even more so, when you see how other teams around us are recruiting.

If that is the case then we are in a while world of trouble.

Wouldn't be surprised if Hendo decided enough is enough.

New signing to be announced in 24 hours!

Any guesses. Anyone seen anything on the other sites.

No but here's my shopping list (based on available / muted to be available):



1. Tils Vea

2. Tommy Leulia

3. LMS

4. Corey Patterson

5. Louis Anderson



If we signed any of them I'd be happy and DH would be demonstrating where we are going

Zak Hardaker?

Aren't Tommy and LMS under contract?

Talk of them unhappy and wanting to move on

Without meaning to sound too downbeat, I am not expecting anything too exciting if I am honest

Cor this is a lively and enthusiastic thread. Come on chaps and chappets I know the season is over but let's have some enthusiasm for next year.

I am as enthusiastic as the next guy, but when you look at the Caliber of players being signed by Toronto and compare them to what we have and are likely to get, I can't see us challenging for either the MPG or the top 2 Automatic places for SL next year unless we buy 3 heavy hitting forwards and cover at Half and Hooker. Without them it'll probably end up Leigh, Toronto and then any 2 from Us Fev, Toulouse and Fax.....so I'll stay enthusiastic, but I'll also reserve the right to be a realist.

I remember that time at a pre season fans forum when Mac was asked where we'd finish that season and he said first...when questioned about it he growled....we finished 9th...Mac was enthusiastic but unrealistic

Not forgetting a decent centre who can beat a defender and pass to the winger. Not to much to ask

Pretty much spot on.

TOMMY IS PAST IT

Damien Sironen a prop from the Bulls has been mentioned in Hull Daily Mail I've read

As it stands



Judas --->



Barthau --->



Garside ---> Walters (assumed)



Roqica --->



Offerdahl --->



Pointer --->



Purtell --->



No news on Evans.



Add in 3 Academy boys where/if appropriate.

Roqica > R. Butler

Offerdahl > D. Hindmarsh

Purtell > J. Ogden

Pointer > S. Davis or M. Davies



Maybe Boudebza will get a new deal to replace A**ers??



Btw, Josh Walters is contracted to Leeds for 2018 so I'm assuming a fee would be involved if he is the new signing.

Sad to say I dont know a huge amount about the Academy boys, but what I do know is they are young and inexperienced and we play in a league where experience and being around the block count for a lot. Pointer and Purtell replacements, fine, but for all the underwhelming performances the replacements for the Offerdahl and Roqica need to have been around and know the front row. I read Walters was off contract, would not lose any sleep if he isn't coming. Its the Judas / Barthau conundrum that worries me.

If the rumour about our new signing is true, maybe we are giving it a go!!!!!





Joel Tomkins???
