The Wire rumour was with Widdopp coming to Hull.

I'd be amazed if we sold Connor, unless he has asked to leave, not sure why he would leave Hull for Warrington though, Wigan and Saints I could understand.

Me neither, but There’s been a bit of noise.
He’s a great footballer but I think too slow and defence not good enough for NRL.
I was thinking Pearson may need a big transfer fee in to help offset what is likely to be 2 consecutive years with £1m plus losses at FC. Without a rich owner who will put money in, it’s hard Yakka for Pearson

Widdopp going to Cas isn't he ?

Dwyer confirmed as leaving the club at the end of the season by Smith.

Best for both parties, Brad has given us his all but I think it’s clear he’s not the type of hooker Smith wants, hope he manages to get a decent deal somewhere

Interesting that Smith doesn't believe many more incomings next season in the YEP article (Would suggest to me Tetevano and Prior are here next year). Hasn't ruled out an incoming though for this season, says they are looking..

So when you look at the cap that has been made available for next season (Mellor £90k, Dwyer £80k, Broadbent £40k, then likely Briscoe £80k, Thompson £80k, Mustapha £30k, and possible Walker £100k), either we're going to spend pretty big on a small number of players, or Smith is being a little "Johnson" with the truth...

Many more? Doesn’t say none though. To be fair we don’t need many, if everyone fit and can cut out these stupid suspensions we have a good squad next year, if we can offload Tetavano that will be a plus. Props Oledski prior sangera Holroyd walters, and there is always a bolter from academy or someone comes available, Tet would be 6 th choice and hopefully will ask for a release.

I think sam walters is a interesting one he could be a really good prop for us 6ft 6 17 Stone I know it's not his position and he's in there for injury and suspension reasons but he hasn't looked that out of place and he could come on leaps with a proper pre season with the right training

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Tue Jul 19, 2022 4:25 pm  

I think people need to get there heads around the fact Prior and Tetevano aren’t going anywhere.

We just need to hope Smith can sort Tet out for the remainder of his contract, there is a good player in there.
