Unless the plan is to have Smith and Bourouh as our hookers for next year with an eye to promoting Hodgson in 12-24 months time.
There has been a bit of talk by Myler about making sure highly rated young players aren't blocked.
Just a thought even though it doesn't exactly get the pulses racing for next year.


Yes, Myler has said about not blocking the young players off but also making sure that we develop them without overexposing them too quickly. There's obviously going to have to be some kind of balance there that the club has to find and get right and signings will hopefully reflect that.

Not player I know a great deal about but as always we'll see how he goes. May be a very astute signing, who knows. I do hope we sign a more experienced hooker though.

Re. the Douehai suggestion.

He hasn't been 'Offerred' - his agent is scouting the market as a backup in case things don't work out in the NRL or with his injury.

Personally I think any time chasing such projects/targets is a waste of our time - we need to be realistic.

Last year we were in for Connor Watson ( who I always thought was out of reach ) & Shaun Blore who suddenly improved massively.

Tricky one for the club to settle on where they put their time & efforts - many agents will express interest & negotiate for weeks while they assess options. Often this will delay us moving on to new targets & sometimes missing out.

There is not a single NRL player waking up thinking ' I would love to play for Hull FC' - it is a short career for them where they have to maximise their income. However it is clear that many are ultimate professionals who contribute greatly but also...............................

Welcome to the new hooker, but he isn't starting every week ? See him as a squad player - probably replacing Denive but seen as being already better with more potential.

Regardless of peoples views on Danny Houghton, he has borne 90% of the work for years, we need a replacement starter who adds strike. Zac Woolford has been mentioned in the past - still not getting much of a look in at the Raiders - he might be achievable & meet our needs ?

He's got the 9 shirt at Salford and has started 8 games for them this year already (once from the bench). He isn't coming here to be 3rd choice hooker.

Happy with Borough, young and puts a shift in.

But whats happening with a no7? We can signed a load of good players but we'll still be rudderless without one

Was told this morning that Abdull is done, however with the complexity of the deal id be surprised its been completed that quickly.

I really don’t get all this regarding signings in that, the number one priority is a coach. As Myler said from the start we need a coach who fits and will dictate our style of play. While it’s great to see new signings and I’m as excited as anyone else, where is the coach who will want these signings and be sure of making his influence count? Maybe we have it done and just can’t release the info yet. The longer this goes on, the more baffling it appears.

He certainly looked done last saturday. Why is it complex? rovers desperate to get him off their books and cats have seen what he offers and don't want to commit beyond this year.

As for the hooker, let's hope he isn't going to be our main option at 9. With 4 injury prone players in our spine, the last thing we need is a young inexperienced hooker as the 5th

I was hoping we had a coach lined up who was contracted elsewhere and directing recruitment but given who we are rumoured to be signing, I hope we don't as it would be more worrying than not having a coach lined up
