Can see a bidding war developing for Dupree.

Always going to happen with the lack of talent available .

Tom Davies is injured.

Also Wigan will want Dupree as well as Walters as Singleton, Mago and KPP or going.

He's bought a house in Hull hasn't he?

Leeds have some very good young forwards there. Walters and Holroyd especially. Big and strong with good rugby brains who didn’t take a backward step against more experienced opponents.

Not a clue tbh, just going off the reporting that Wigan have joined the race to sign him

It is an in-joke. I promise that you’re better being in the out group.

For clarity, Tyler Dupree has not bought a house Hull in or even been seen there in a Chinese takeaway.

According to a BBC radio presenter in Manchester. Wigan are rumored to have offered £200,000 for Dupree. That is a lot of money ( silly money) in my opinion. I'm not sure Rovers will want to go much higher than that, if at all. Though he is a very good young English player that I would love to se at Rovers.
It just goes to prove though the lack of real genuine forward talent in the English game compared to Australia where such players are in abundance.

Think anything over £100K is a lot for a player that up until recently wasn’t even on the radar and been at a fair few different clubs without making much of an impact. Yes Dupree has potential and looks good so far this season but don’t think he’s done enough yet to be worth that much. Think it shows how poor and small the talent pool is currently in the U.K. game when a player like Dupree is attracting a figure like that for a transfer fee.

Another reason why the RFL and SL clubs need to make the reserves a mandatory requirement.
