Sorry to see Booth go if this happens but Rourke probably nudged him down the list a bit.
NT is very well regarded though so not a bad deal.

Really like this deal. We are covered for fullbacks and centres but adding another specialist winger as back up and a development project makes sense.

No 2 ways about it Tchamambe can play. Dominant at Academy level and on the cusp of first team at Leeds till Smith decided to dismantle their youth system.

He’s 100% a project signing but he has bags of potential and if he achieves it in the next few years we will have another very good winger.

Lets hope he doesn't come in and out the door as quick as Booth then.

Sometimes that's what happens with projects.

As long as we're getting a quality player in exchange I don't have a problem with this.
Those in charge of recruitment haven't done bad so far!

He’s a prospect/project signing just like Booth so he may well do.

There is no exact science to player development.

I will say this with 100% confidence, whilst Booth has more utility value (which we have covered with Rouke and Russell anyway) of the 2 if they both achieve their potential Tchamambe will be the superior specialist winger of the 2.

KR Fan here

NT has all the physical attributes to be a top quality player, I’m not convinced he has the mentality. He looks to be scared of contact and collision, which isn’t ideal. Breakaway tries he will always get, but hard yards and defending I’m yet to be convinced he has the heart. All well and good been the stand out at academy level when you are physically superior, but that soon changes.

Peters likes versatility in players, broadbent over Corey hall for example. So can see by your comments why it may work for both parties. Hope they both go on and do well

I don't think this is a good deal. Noah is a future international IMO. He already carries himself on the field like an experienced pro and has bags of potential.
I think we have made a mistake with this one but then again what do I know.

You seem to think it was the clubs decision, reading between the lines HKR were keen on Booth and could sign him for next season. He's at Hunslet anyway do the club looked at a way to get something in return and it seems like we've got a promising winger as a swap. Both players are potential only right now.

The last swap between the two clubs worked out well in the end despite the uproar it provoked

Re: Rumours thread : Wed Jan 29, 2025 2:16 pm  

Hull KRs strategy on projects / youth at the minute seems to be throw enough mud at the wall and see what sticks, which not many seem to be sticking at all. If I was a young player from a development / career perspective this would be in the back of my mind.

Re: Rumours thread : Wed Jan 29, 2025 2:19 pm  

Why is every young player that leaves us labelled a “future International” after a handful of games in which they are unable to nail down a first team spot.

Way I see it his utility place in the squad has been taken by Rourke for 2025 and we are adding some depth in the squad in a position we are a bit thin.

Rourke is a proven top level player in SL and of the 2 he’s the better option for Trinity going forward.
