signed for the reserve comp that was promised but the rfl and superleague clubs never delivered, more than likely signed to help the younger lads in that league

Yet we are supposed to have a meaningful reserve comp next season.
Younger lads? Levy is still only 21
Played well in the lower division for Doncaster.
Seems a bit hasty to me as we now only have Bienek and Brown and possibly Masi as our fringe props yet we have to field a reserve squad plus provide D/R and possibly loans to Doncaster
looks like our reserve team will be made up of under 19s,trialists and part time players

We seem to have landed many of the players we've been targetting and been able to get Fonua back too as a bonus. We look set in the backs, halves and back row, just prop looks a gap but we're not done quite yet. It's only August too, makes sense to sequence first team recruitment as the priority then look at reserve building given we've already got many contracted players likely to play in that comp from the main squad also.

Sao and Cator left to announce?

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Fri Aug 09, 2019 8:57 am  

watching Sao now looks very good.

recruitment has been excellent for next season, looking like 4 big additions to the pack and Fonua. As good as any SL club, should see us challenge Saints

Sao has scored in the 1st half

Editor of Rugby League World just tweeted
Was tipped off by a few people last night that a highly-regarded, young Championship player was seen in and around a club in West Hull yesterday. Trying to firm up as we speak.

Can we have the bloke who set him up for the try as well or is that just being greedy?
