FC fan here.

I think Tom Amone would be great pick up. His stats look impressive in the NSW Cup and did well in the few NRL outings he got.

With the Hodgson/Wests connection thought he might be someone we looked at.

Looks like we've got Kane Evans, I would've preferred we take a punt on someone like Amone though.

On a side note, what's your chances of keeping Hampshire? As a utility/half I don't think there is any UK player better on the market right now

Well with Hampshire you could probably outbid us, however, if you add the travel expenses to Hull then it gets expensive. As petrol prices go up it really makes a difference. The best part of £400 per month or 4k per year and it all adds up. So he'd probably look to be staying with us if at all possible because we are his local club and his team, but who knows I'm clutching at straws.

We have a car of players coming from West Yorkshire daily - Cameron Scott, Jake Connor - so they normally jump in together for trips like that. Surprised he hasn't been picked up though

Probably just the usual club policy of releasing info, including signings, out bit by bit to keep interest going.

Some look decent.

What do the NRL experts on here think?

I like Tom Ale, purely for the name.

I like Tom Ale too - don't know if he's big enough but he looks quite stout - sorry
