Its the exact opposite isnt it? For whatever reason it’s obvious the ‘leaks’ are coming from the top with the clubs blessing, and it’s only a good thing that the club seemingly has a good relationship with journalists and by extension the fans. It’s always bad for fans when at various times the club has had spats with the HDM, Humberside or whoever.

As far as I’m aware the only signings the club have officially announced have been Abdull, Asiata and Borough and all those were leaked to the media weeks before. The club have still not announced Holmes, Hardaker, Cust or Chamberlain despite some of them been strategically leaked months ago.

Probably too embarrassed to officially announce Hardaker,Chamberlain and Holmes.
Holmes cant even get into the Leigh starting 17,Hardaker is way passed his best and Chamberlain the only Leigh player not to have an official sponsor which speaks volumes about how he is rated.
Whatever way you want to spin it the recruitment for 2025 is poor and none of the main areas like centre or second row have been addressed.
The communication from the club continues to take fans for granted and this latest episode with Cartwright is just a joke
Its gone from Jet lag,to slight injury concern so we will give him an outing in the reserves to foot injury but not serious,to losing him for several weeks, and then the expected bombshell he wont play again this season

The Cartwright thing I think maybe the club just didn’t think it would be as serious as it is.

As for the signings I’m just hoping that the club are playing for time and waiting until the financial situation is better and have a few good signings lined up for when this happens, be it outside investment or we manage to pay off the Covid loans or whatever. I’m genuinely concerned for the club if we are getting battered week in and week out again next year, with what we’ve done so far I don’t see that changing.

Anyone else heard that Abdull has got a knee injury....

Re: DoR - New Coach - Investor & Adam - New signings : Mon Jul 08, 2024 3:12 pm  

probably an acl knowing our luck.

Abdull did have his right knee strapped during the 2nd half on Saturday. He did finish the game though, so If he has picked up an injury it would seem fairly minor based on that

Re: DoR - New Coach - Investor & Adam - New signings : Mon Jul 08, 2024 3:21 pm  

Abdul, Trueman and cust all injury prone. We'll be lucky if we have 2 of them on the field together for half a season

Abdul was in a knee brace earlier today. Sat at Brough station.

Briers rumoured to be going to Saints as an assistant next year. Would have loved Cartwright to have persuaded him to come to Hull with him.

Re: DoR - New Coach - Investor & Adam - New signings : Wed Jul 10, 2024 2:11 pm  

Doubt he will be assistant for long.

Good chance he might get the main job at Saints the fans are getting restless with Wellens, they arent used to losing or being outside the top4.
