Where on Earth would Super League clubs get £5 million. Every club is in debt and I doubt even Saints, Wire or Huddersfield’s sugar daddies would contemplate spending that ridiculous amount. The cap works and will carry on working, once Rugby League gets over it’s present debt headaches, God knows where AP’s getting the dosh to pay back the government funded pandemic loan, never mind the debt incurred trying to operate during the last 2 seasons.

Nothing we didn't already know. Expect an official announcement October time https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... rd-7054873

I think Truman is a good signing, just come back from a serious back injury and think he has played every game and has decent stats.

Very good defender too, think he will do well for us behind our pack.

Cheaper, younger, quicker and better than Reynolds (and non quota too) so certainly an upgrade.

Worth taking a punt on Parcell?

It is believed Parcell is considering all of his options, and has loved his time in the UK.

The 29-year-old is currently in talks with Hull KR over a new deal, but has not ruled out potentially joining another Super League side.

I would, but don't think we will as expect Houghton to stay another year, unless we use Lovodua at 6

Connor
Lovodua
Trueman
Parcell

with Houghton on the Bench

We need to start getting some game time for lovaduo at 9 to see if he is the answer at hooker for next season .

I assumed he was going to the Dolphins. I'd take him if we didn't resign Houghton.

Yeah I'd assumed that too. Especially with him being a Queenslander.

Don't think we've got a cat in hells chance of getting him.

I can't believe that Rovets aren't signing him, probably their best player.

Couldn't see Cas or Hudds signing him, doubt he would go to Wakey. Would Leeds have him back.

Saints and Warrington have good hookers.

Maybe Wigan or Catalans?
