I posted a couple of months ago that Litten will be at Hull next year. However it's gone a bit quiet on that since.
At the time Litten was only getting brought on for about 15 minutes. That's now been reversed and it's Parcell who only gets brought on for a cameo. Quite possible that the threat of coming to us has forced Peters' hand into giving Litten the game time that he has been wanting, so as not to lose him.

Good replacement for Dywer, not sure he is a starting hooker though.

I’ll ask him when I see him

What are peoples thoughts on Cator, works hard and very good defender, but offers virtually nothing in attack. Can't be recruiting a LF for next season, but I'd be looking at this long term unless Armstrong pushes through.

Cator is a decent squad player, not sure he offers enough with ball in hand for a team that wants to push onto being a top 6 side.

I'm a big fan of Cator, he does all the little things well and seems to be a real defensive leader for us. Can't see us needing a loose for a while as Armstrong is going to be some player when he's ready.

It was a family member of Jez that said about TS speaking to Jez.

Can't see McMeeken either but heard he does want to come back to England

I have had a bit of time on my hands this evening and watch every minute that Pele has played for the Bulldogs up to Round 10. My word he is a big human being. Runs onto the ball at pace. His drop out returns and kick off returns are impressive and his leg drive is insane. Defensively not bad, but my concern is his engine. Only does 25 minutes a game

Don't think those minutes will be too much different to Satae's.

Yeah Franklin Pele is a unit. Looks like one of our friends from across the river has been having some fun on his wikipedia.

Danny Levi has broken his jaw again. Can't remember a player getting a broken jaw twice in one season

Roger The Dodger? Ala Ronnie Wileman at Wembley- think he'd broken it earlier that year as well, but could be wrong. Every time I see that hit, I cringe, Ronnie stayed on because of Lindop's ineptitude!

On Clune, he's off to Leeds apparently, but we'll have someone else, at last there is a feel good factor about Hull's management, Smith will get the right man and NQC still haven't announced Jake Clifford, didn't hear anything on NRL 360 either, so maybe all the talk is premature. Certainly hope so.

Bit before my time that.

Where has the Clune to Leeds thing come from? Not seen anything online

Be amazed if the Litten rumours are true. I still don't think we'll retain Balmforh either.
