Our ex coach been busy with his paint brush again.
Interesting he makes reference to the pressure in Hull, as Sneyd did. Suppose it’s the price you pay for being in a rugby league city.

And having fans with an unfounded sense of entitlement.

Ebon scurr signed a new 2 year deal with the bulls

Ryan Hampshire has left Wakefield.

Interesting that Jake Connor pushed hard for the club to sign Gale

I'd sign Hampshire, but it might depend on if we can release Johnstone or Shaul.

Still think we could do with another prop, but that might depend on what happens with Bowden.

I think our recruitment overall should give us some positivity for next season, a few gambles in there but that's what happens when you realise too late that the 17 isn't good enough.

Still have worries over halfback, both players are injury risks and we still lack some pace in those positions, if we could sign Hampshire that could help, I suppose Connor could play at 6 as we have good cover at FB.

That's how I see it. Hampshire for one of Shaul or JJ. he'd be a perfect 14 off the bench.

A couple of injuries to our big 4 props and we're back to relying on Fash and Brown for chunks of the season. An extra big body would be nice, but I think it'll be tricky to bring a uk prop in at the moment.

It's nice to see a coach notice the deficiencies in the squad and try to rectify them.

John Davidson reporting Hampshire could be off to Bradford as a replacement for Brough.

Would be a great signing for them

Hampshire has broken his jaw twice in the last couple of years so not as good as you think as a replacement injury wise

Freak injuries! If it was hamstring, groin, achilles etc then you would have a point

Freak injuries happen once in a lifetime not twice in a couple of years. There's a reason no super league club wanted him
