So would we be happy with Tindall, Clune, Ashworth, Blore, Watson and Hola?

I think we will get another British forward - Bentley perhaps, and i would make a play for Jack Broadbent from Cas. He is a great prospect and bags of pace. Maybe make a play for Cain Robb if we don't see a future for Balmforth

Reckon you could be right about HDM knowing a bit more than they're letting on. The Watson and Blore rumours have been floating around for a while now, why would they mention it now

McMeeken can only come if he brings Davies with him

2 more British players (as well as Tindall and Ashworth) have signed apparently.

Davies would be a great replacement for Swift. Would also happily welcome McMeeken, and Bentley if Tony sorts him out a bit. Experienced Brits with a bit of grunt is what we lack.

Would love a real quality second rower, feel it is our most lacking area. Our decline in quality in this position is massive over the past few years.

Clune and Blore would be good.

Watching Bentley last night, and I appreciate it’s only one game, but his discipline was very good.

A couple of times things were simmering between opposition players and could quite easily have blown up. He was usually in the vicinity but didn’t get involved which in the past I think he would have done?

Also impressed with his overall work rate. Especially in defence.

Hopefully can get Clune over the line asap

Sounds like we have missed out on Clune from what Dan Tomlinson has just said to me.

Mentioned signings and he said the problem with Clark is that he'll say we are in for certain players and if they don't come off, he'll back track and say we were never in for them just like he did earlier this morning with Clune.

Knows a lot about tracks that bloke, that’s the problem.

Disappointing if he’s gone to Leeds.

Always reassuring to know Clark's still involved.

He's still far and away better than any of our back row

He ran through cator like men v boys

Mcqueen is what we need a bit of power

Not 5ft 3 midgits fash and cator !

The disappointing thing about that try is we should have been watching McQueen all game . It's a move Hudds use every game or the ball back inside to McQueen . Poor read by the Hull players .
