IMO Peacock's contacts list is the least of our worries.
I won't judge on this year, based on his having no non-fed spots and presumably very little budget to play with. Our pack desperately needed more than just Clarkson and Mulhern, but maybe there were no other or additional realistic options.
Who the new coach is and the theme of this year's recruitment will be interesting. We need to be bigger, fitter, faster, stronger, smarter and more aggressive. Part of that has to come from recruitment. If he goes primarily for potential again, I'll be concerned that his philosophy is more about giving players a chance, rather than giving our team a chance.
Batley first though, innit?
Perhaps, but would you agree its easier to persuade someone who is going to up sticks and move countries to come to Hull rather than someone you personally know who lives in Lancashire who is settled around family and friends ?
