Davies would be a dream signing. He and Johnstone have a real shout to be England wingers.

I’d also take Yaha but I feel Davies would be a serious option. Yaha is French, a fan favourite and probably gets cap deductions for Catalan.

3 wingers don’t fit into 2. A pressure for Catalan on the cap and surely talent like that wants to play week in week out.

I keep looking at off contract players and there’s not much talent out there. Think we need to look at under contract players.

Or look at the championship like saints did with Riston, looked quality last night, pace to burn and a great finish at the end

Ritson is one who wasn’t out of contract. The sort of players from the championship we will want will need us to use some leverage. And for me, it would be worth it. If true cas have sent Qareqare on loan to Bradford to sign AJ Wallace for next year. Getting a player in and youth experience, win win

A lot of hull fans dismissed using a quota spot on James Bell as he OOC. I think yesterday showed that he’d be an asset for us

Rugby Union players can’t tackle, it’s not in their game, that’s why they employ League coaches to try to teach them. You’d populate FC with poor defensive players whilst berating existing players now

Just watching Cronulla v The Bulldogs and Josh Reynolds has made more tackles in two sets than he did in his entire career with Hull! Shows what attitude and culture we really have to cull when he couldn’t be arsed yet gets played in the NRL

I don't think he "couldn't be arsed". I would never doubt his effort. It just didn't work out for him, a bad injury in his first year, Covid, then another injury. Maybe it was the club's conditioning team at the time?

He fell lucky this morning in his little cameo roll.
If you'd seen him for the two weeks previous, well, he couldn't tackle a Yorkshire Pudding.
