I'd expect Hull to have a look at Witt, possibly offer him a contract to the end of the season. It will give him an opportunity to impress and rebuild his career and us to assess whether he's worth keeping on a longer contract.

hes not a full back mate hes a half back who can, at a push, play full back.

i've no doubt he'll sign for hull.

Do we even need this Witt?

According to one of the articles, he's a stand off. That would either mean that Thorman is dropped/moved, and Horne moves to 7 - or Horne is dropped/moved and Thorman stays at 7.

Tony should be back in a month or so. I'm quite happy to keep Hall at fullback until he's back, and rather we did this than go out an make an unnecessary overseas signing.

if thorman or horne gets injured who would you play there?

Witt would be a massive improvement on Thorman.

We end up with two no.6's and no SH though.
