Well Senior and Gleeson could well be better than both Sharks current centres despite their advanced ages

Ben Crooks was reported to be linked with Canterbury a month or so ago. But I'd expect it to be Watkins, unless they see T. Briscoe as a centre again.

Briscoe is the one I am hoping for. He was linked to the Sharks earlier in the year but that was quashed after he was told he'd have to stay till his contract finished.

I don't think the Sharks would buy Crooks. They are looking for a replacment for a 250 game player and Crooks might not meet the criteria yet. Unless he's a gun.

He's Lee's lad right?

Aye he is.

I'd like Briscoe to stay put for now. We're trying to build a new team, and we've already lost a few quality players do need to be keeping some as well!

I'd guess at Watkins as well.

Yeah he's Lee's son mate. Although he's only played about 5 first team games for us. He hasn't really looked out of place that much tbh. He's only 18 maybe 19 now and there isn't anything on him build wise but you can tell that he's going to turn out to be a top player for Hull. Just needs to bulk up alot in the off season.
Regarding Briscoe, imo he's an out and out winger personally and the best British winger there is. His try when he beat about 7 Leeds players just from running from dummy half, just proves what talent this kid has got. No other winger in the league could of done that never mind an English winger. The kids unbelievably strong and not to forget he's only 21 I think.

Thanks a lot for replying folks. Will continue to watch on with interest

Watkins signed a 5 year deal not so long ago so I doubt it's him.

Who's out of contract? Welham? Briscoe?

Well there can't be that many to choose from...Atkins?..Goulding?

They're hardly 'young' are they? Well in RL terms.

Kallum Watkins from Leeds?

Is that a guess or a confirmation?

Thanks for replies

It's a guess really. Dean Bell is over looking for young talent, so is/was Frank Endacott and I do know he is rated by them, as is Goulding.
