Because these deals have already been done before Myler came in? First and foremost, the main priority is the head coach, no point signing players a manager doesn’t want, if Hull was signing players before the coach came in then there would be people moaning at that too, Hull are where they are, a good coach and letting him pick his own players and style are the only way of getting out of this mess,

Myler has a tough job, but so far I’d say he’s doing well, moved 3 big earners off and getting some experience in to help protect the young lads, his biggest task is nailing that head coach..

The Sullivan talk is an interesting one as it does make you wonder what the plan is in the halves because three into two doesn't go and with all three likely to be on big wages and one being a quota player, we have to have all three in the team (fitness and durability issues notwithstanding). Noticed Jenna didn't link us with Bateman despite the rumours and also said his preference is to stay in the NRL.

Looks like Sao will be here next season. Visa issues complicating his fire brigade job.

Couple people suggesting Houghton might fancy another year…

I'd be happy with that as long as its elsewhere.

Grix mentioned after the Huddersfield game that DH has been struggling for weeks, partly due to his age, and yet we still persist in flogging him every game. That's not doing either the man or the team any good. So I can't help but feel that there needs to be a parting of the ways now because it just feels like no one at the club is strong enough to go with a different approach and manage his game time better. I have all the respect in the world for the man and what he has accomplished at the club but it's time for a change.
