Rumours that we (Hull) have been sniffing around Bentley. All I think about when I hear his name, is ill-discipline, constantly banned. Is that unfair?

This year he has curbed his ill discipline but that seems to have led to more missed tackles.
He has the enthusiasm and despite the missed tackles will put in a shift that's for sure.
He can also back up as hooker apparently.

We should have cap to sign Lawrie as a one marquee spot and a half back as the other, if Sezer, Tet and Fusitua leave. Agree though, it's about time we had a player who can bring the crowd to it's feet. If we don't, we won't be in the running for silverware.

If what I've read is correct hes on 300k Australian dollars .He's well affordable unless another NRL side comes in for him.

I just think a quality (and quick) fullback can make so much difference to the attack, and make even average halves look good (see Wigan as a good example).

Laurie would be top of the list for me. Austin has earnt a contract for me, Sezer hasn’t.

Yes he was adamant there was nothing in it.
Makes you think there could be some truth in the others when he skirts around the question a bit.

I would prefer a top class 7 and keep Myler at fullback. He is usually one of our best players when playing there.
I've no idea who is available in Aus, but the thought of going into next season with Sezer and Austin as halves will lead to a repeat of this year imo.

On the proviso that 2023 departures are: Leeming, Bentley, Walters, Tet, Sezer, and Fus, this would be my 2024 wish list: Lawrie, Chad Townsend, Iro, Goudemand, and Tyler Dupree. I think if the board show enough ambition that could be doable. That, in my opinion, is good enough for us to challenge for and win the GF.

Excellent wish list Arthur!

Two ex Leeds props who are playing well this year Mulhern and Dupree either would be welcome.

Doubt we will be even in for Dupree .Salford have already turned down a large fee.

Yep, its a long shot. Just think that if there is a chance he's available we should explore it. He's academy trained and he left because he fell out with Agar, not the club.
