Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Sun Sep 08, 2024 10:29 pm  
Bit bemused by those already pencilling Nick Stavely as a regular starter next year, just don't see it yet - loads of development & S&C needed yet.

Is he really that far ahead of Laidlaw & Gardner who rarely get mentioned in the 'new crop' discussions but have far more games under their belts ?

Had a poker night beer with an ex NRL player who played for Crusaders whilst in SL.
He had a lot of insights - he’s aged 44.

He said JC is an aggressive coach and well respected and we will be very fit and play aggressive in your face rugby.

We flunkin need something

Club are a difficult place, both Rapana and Seizer were signed late August, after our initial targets fell through, the club could have waited to see if the likes of Levi and Hastings become available, but that's a gamble and one we maybe couldn't afford to take, whose to say these will come to SL or even want to sign for Hull (we don't exactly look that attractive right now).

FWIW I would have help back one quota place (Cust's) and see what becomes available.

As for Staveley, it's hard to say, he only played 4 games, but had a good spell in the championship and impressed in those 4 SL games, from what I've seen of him in those 4 games, the reserves and Academy he is well above those two. Looks to be more physically ready than either of those also, expect Wainhouse to go above both Laidlaw and Gardiner next season too.

The Director of Rugby was James Clark.
He is the person who is in charge of recruitment and retention.

He was, but there is a no way in the world that the head coach doesn't have a say in who stays and goes.

Still wouldn't be surprised to see more leave and more come in between now and the start of pre season.

Can't argue with your post Dave, although for me not sure at all that Sezer is the right answer to our needs and its not like he lit up SL either, I actually think he'll be a poor signing to be honest.
As for Cust just don't see where he fits in and much like Sezer feel we've wasted 2 quota spots.
I hope I'm proved wrong but the evidence of Sezer largely being anonymous in SL games and Cust not making the field regularly doesn't bode well.
For me we were and still are in desperate need for a dynamic half with a running game and Sezer nor Cust tick that box. We saw what a difference Clifford made to a poor side and just feel we are back to scratching around for halves of no particularly quality again.

everyone in the media is aware that Sezer and Rapana were both on the back burner while our number one target was still a possibility but when he decided to stay at Leigh both were signed PDQ almost it was said to me in haste.
