Mike Cooper worth signing? Or too injury prone?

People need to get a grip, very few British players available, those that are top class are gonna be after marquee contracts which we should be using on a half, prop and 2nd row. For what hardaker will cost your not going to get any better in terms of experience. One thing I'm certain of is you'll get him on the field more then carlos

definitely will next season because he wont be here

FFS our fans are just infuriating and are the biggest set of Hypocrites!!!! YES Hardaker off field hasn't covered himself in glory at all i think its fair to say that but hes a WINNER on the field and still plays at a high level and was less than a yar ago lifting the CC Trophy, In addition to that he stays fit!! 24 games played last year which will more than likely be more than Carlos has played across past 3 seasons! In regards of some of our fans being Hypocrites... Did we not support and love Stevie Michaels?? Last time i checked he was done for drug dealing in aus and was always on the bag when he came over... did anyone bat an eyelid? NO did it affect our team on the field? NO did he play well in big games for us? YES. Every club has players that have off field issues at some point in time (Minchella anyone?), as long as we can keep him fit and firing then its a great signing, hes loved by other players as on the field hes everything you need in a professional. GET A GRIP!! This is one of the most exciting periods for a few years with potentially some big big signings to follow so stop bloody moaning!!!!!!

if he had pace,strike and the ability to put his wingman away then i would say a decent signing irrespective of his age
The fact that he doesnt and we need some real strike at centre then you have to ask why he has been signed.
Hardly an exciting period when we have a backline of Briscoe,Hardaker and Sutcliffe WOW
Seen more pace in an egg and spoon race

egg and spoon races can be quite competitive, more like the 3 legged race or the sack race.

That backline makes one with brian blacker in it look positively quick

he's already 32, he'll be 33 when he starts with us. I'm not bothered about his past, he's mostly been an idiot. It's more the playing side. Leigh fans are glad to see the back of him

A lot of fan backlash about this signing
wonder if he will actually play for us next season

Ring Myler Steve ASAP
definitely fits our age criteria

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Fri May 10, 2024 3:54 pm  

I go missing for another week and once again I can't keep up with the news!

Reynolds and Chan look like decent short term signings. Think Aydin will do a job for us. Holmes should be a solid signing for next. Whitehead will be up a Gaz Ellis type signing if that comes off. Hardaker... well I am struggling with this one as it seems many others are.

Have I missed anyone?!

Blimey, there’s more drama on here than on an overrated Netflix show about stalking.

Some of the recruitment is being done so as not to block pathways of players coming through. Myler said that on his recent interview.

He seems to be bullish and not taking a backward step. Let’s judge the recruitment when it’s finished.

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Fri May 10, 2024 4:33 pm  

Hull's "Not Yet Determined" list is
Denive Balmforth, Lennon Bursell, Joe Cator, Jeylan Hodgson, Danny Houghton, Sully Medforth, Charlie Severs, Carlos Tuimavave and Mitieli Vulikijapani.

Out of contract but not on the list (so either retained or already signed elsewhere
Harvey Barron, Zach Jebson, Matty Laidlaw, Davy Litten, Lewis Martin and Cam Scott. All expected to stay at HUll apart from Scott.
