Love French to come but cant see it.
Do we have any player connections to French as that sometimes makes a difference

It has been known for two clubs to deny rumours of a player move only to then see the said player move so who knows.

Maybe his Uncle Nathan can put a good word in

Actually, yes.

He is the nephew of Nathan Blacklock who spoke very fondly recently about his time at Hull. Absolutely loved it here and has a lot of affection for the club.

French was also teammates with Ma'u and Evans at the Eels.

Probably Irregs#16, seems to know what’s going on within the club? Doesn’t he or she give the team out a day before the game and has been spot on. If Connor does go, I hope he rips it up and we have a first dibs clause on him. I hope all 3 signings, French, Trueman and Hawkins happen, think Gale will move into coaching and I just can’t see Reynolds additional season being triggered. As someone posted earlier, he’s probably our worst overseas signing and we’ve had some crap.

Worst overseas signing we've had...... Wow

Hutch maiva
Ryan benjafield
Hitro okensene

Could name another 20 easy

For me Frank Pritchard our worst value for money signing played well against rovers in pre season and that was it was unfit and was a shadow of the player in the nrl year before

Re: Shopping List 2023 : Wed Jun 08, 2022 4:51 pm  

French would of a big upgrade on Connor

Weird how I got hammered but people now see Connor flaws

Apart from passing a ball he's got nothing on French

And will be huge flop in the nrl back in a year 100%

Quote me dave Chris etc

Do you ever read posts, completely? What part of “and we’ve had some crap” don’t you understand? I could reel players off that have been crap but I genuinely believe that Reynolds is the worst overseas signing we’ve made in Super League, he’s missed too many games through injury and suspension, then when he has played, he’s been crap, apart from the early games last season, then was injured and been playing catch up ever since.

Pity Manu is going could have made a difference feeding off the offloads from Mau

Didn't know he was related to Blacklock!

Hopefully he'll bring back the backflip try celebration when he's scores for us

Noticed he spent quite a bit of time talking to those two after the recent home game against Wigan.
