Mega excited by the daily fails reported 'triple swoop' ... Lazy journalism/ clutching at straws me thinks and prays!

Are the rumours true we have signed Liam Harris from you guys ?

Rovers have confirmed signings of Will Dagger from Warry and Connor Williams from Salford.

Don't know much about Williams but Dagger has a lot of potential by accounts. This season showed we need cover for Quinlan at full back and having a few fighting Shaw for the other wing spot can only be a good thing.



Pleased with the signings and seem to be building an young, exciting. I imagine recruitment isn't done and they will be joined by some experienced and proven quality.

We just need two or three hardened old heads up front who can steady the young prospects when the game gets frantic or we are struggling (as we will at times next year) Big, fit,experienced & able to play long minuets is all we need not super stars. Or cast offs from Leigh.

Looking at your squad, when you played us, I'd tend to agree with you. I don't know what we were expecting when we signed Stewart, but he proved disappointing to me. True, he played long minutes, but really only looked a 'grafter'. He seemed to fancy being a ball playing forward, but just doesn't look the part. Vea too, is a 'grafter', capable of playing long minutes, without doing anything spectacular. Langi definitely has potential, and is younger than the other two, but he was only on a contract to the end of the season.



In many ways, relegation may have done us a favour. Often it's the players who seize the opportunity of their contracts being null & void, to leave the club. In this instance, the club appears to be beating them to it, by offloading a few players, who maybe haven't performed to expectations. In addition to the three named above, I would also expect Hock, Paterson, Hampshire, Pelissier, Maria, Higson, Drinkwater, Tickle, Green, Clare, Foster, Thompson and probably Mortimer to leave - some of whom have performed decently, but don't fancy life in the Championship.

Hello and congratulations. Glenn Stewart made a lot of errors in the M.P.M. but he most certainly did not go missing as the tackle count will prove.He was Catalan Dragons best player in 2016. However, he looks rather stouter and slower than he was then.I think that both of our teams will not be in the top 6 next year and that we shall be battling with Widnes Huddersfield Salford and wakefield to avoid the middle eights. Injuries will as always play a vital role.P.S. Todd Carney still could be a geat player ,but his heart is not in it.

League express announcing we have signed a super league prop.....tasi?

Oh no its walne...

If it is Walne, I would be disappointed. No better than what we have already got, just looks like another squad player. Stats say 6.0 ft and 15st 13lbs, not massive for a prop. Other stats look bang average. I don,t mind being proved wrong but if we are trimming the squad would this be one of the 4 or 5 real quality signing that we will need in Super League? Doesn,t inspire me, but we will see.

Was hoping it was tasi.... hes quota and has had injury problems but he at least provides go forward.

Quote Salty mouse="Salty mouse"Oh no its walne...'" Watching this update would suggest that any of the important signings wont be for a week or two at least. https://www.facebook.com/hullkingstonrovers/

Tommy Lee (2 years). Jordan Walne (1 year). Have both now been confirmed. Nothing but average squad players in my opinion.

I see that St George Illawarra scrum half, Drew Hutchison has signed for Leigh. He was reportedly a target for you guys. 6 foot 2, and almost 15 stones - sounds like Jamie Ellis, in build, at least!

The media linked Rovers with Hutchison but there was never any truth in it.



From what I have been told initial conversations with Langi have taken place but that can mean anything (ie Carney).



Whoever Sheens brings in will need to 'suit' Maguire's style of play, and by my reckoning Atkins fits the bill.

Atkin is very Burrow-like in stature and style, his running game is a fair bit behind Robs but it should suit McGuire

agree

Rovers are believed to be closing in on Leigh trio Glenn Stewart, Atelea Vea & Samisoni langi.



Also believed to be trying to get Docker-Clay to go to York on loan, although London are still interested in him.

I was wrong about Langi. He's joined Catalans.

So...the current league leader winners and super league grand finalists have signed



James green

Mitch Clark

Jamie Ellis



2 deemed not good enough for us, one a half back who most were 50/50 and thinking is championship level. This says a lot about the market right now.



As the newly promoted side, I'm not 100% sure who people expected us to sign considering we picked up Masoe and carney in the championship, maybe expectations were overtly high. But the value of signing tommy lee and Jordan walne could prove decent especially joining as squad players if the market in aus provides better options as clearly the market here means one of our best teams picks up these players.



A bit of perspective I think, and probably not an ounce of arrogance some fans of ours showed on social media will be shown down t'mend a hose I imagine.

You ideally want a 6 with a running threat and good long kicking game to suit McGuire

Aaarr you mean Jordan Lilley !!

Reports on media and twitter (Moley) linking Rovers with NRL Jason Clark & Sam Tagataese.



Also, French youngster Thibault Franck, scrum half, is believed to have signed.

TIM says he is hopping to bring players back with him when he comes back and has said we have to wait till he has finished talking to them
