What does he want to look at there really? Plain as day it's a try. Edit. It was a lot more dubious that I thought! Still definitely a try though.

No chance Lewis was scoring there. He was about to get his bells rung if Litten passed it.

So far I've been ok with our recruitment. Asiata, Holmes and Briscoe are all decent signings, and the short term ones all made sense for one reason or another. We needed a few bodies to help support the youngsters who can't do it on their own. This one I'm not happy about. I'm all for second chances and helping people with problems rather that kicking them to the curb. But this guy has got a rap sheet as long as your arm. And on the field he is half the player he was 5 years ago. I havent heard about any recent indesgretions so maybe he has grown up in recent years, I hope so, but either way I'm not thrilled.

A month ago I'd have been very concerned about this one, but we have made baby steps forward whereas London seem to be getting worse. They will be targeting this as probably their most winnable game of the season, but even so, we should have too much for them. Hull by 18

Dolphins probably wishing halftime could have come 10 minutes later. Great burst from them.

And Ollie Russell apparently.

I've given up even trying to keep up with our comings and goings, so if you've got a player who isn't getting a lot of gametime at the minute, just assume Hull have probably signed him on loan.

Yusuf Aydin has signed permanently for Hull, with Jack Brown going to Hull KR. Not sure either team has particularly gained or lost there tbh. I really liked Brown when he first broke through but he has definitely stagnated and his discipline (in terms of silly penalties and 6 agains) is poor. Maybe the move will help him. I need to see more of Aydin to make a judgement. In his two loan appearances I feel like he has done OK without really being a standout.

Whilst most of your post is perfectly reasonable I don't necessarily agree with this bit. You have highlighted some of Hull's current issues with their lease, but that doesn't mean it always has to be that way. It depends what sort of deal you are able to agree for yourself. In hindsight the one we agreed when we moved in was a poor one.

One of your posts that I fully agree with Worzel. Hull KR, like most rugby league clubs, are a big part of their local community. A good chunk of the fan base are born and raised in and around Preston Rd, Holderness Rd etc. Many will probably walk to the stadium on game day. Moving the club away from that area is only going to alienate many of those fans, and it's unlikely you would pick up many new one. Exactly the same would apply if Hull FC moved East.

Briers was the one I wanted tbh (at least out of all the names that seemed plausible).

If there's a genuine need for him I have no issue whatsoever with the recall. But if he's just been recalled because Beaumont is unhappy about the Asiata deal then it's very petty and a shame for the player.

It doesn't matter how much money we've got to throw around, it's a salary cap sport, we can't just go and sign 10 superstars. Holmes is a solid addition, lots of experience and will hopefully help the development of the likes of Staveley and Jebson who will hopefully be the future of the second row position at Hull.

If they've recalled him with the intention of playing him then that's fair enough. But he's out of contract at the end of the year I believe, and is trying to play well and put himself in the shop window. So if this is just a case of Beaumont throwing his toys out of the pram then it just shows how selfish he is.

He would be another good signing and we definitely need to strengthen our second row, but we seem to be getting linked with the entire Leigh squad (and coach) at the minute so I'm taking it with a pinch of salt.
