Couple of players have caught my eye who have been released 2 inparticular. Kyle Bibb looks a uncertain prospect at best and hopefully Scully is going but nothing has actually been mentioned on the Scully front. Thackray is 1 player I know he isn't the sharpest knife in the draw but i'd say he has been the pick of Hulls forwards this year and he runs hard. Boyle from Cas ive rated this kid I think this lad will develop into a good forward I know Barry Mac rates him high maybe Kear could make him into something as we know Matterson is in capable of doing so. Sureley both will do a job and they maybe a step up from Bibey not faulting Bibey because he did well this season .What do you think surely 1 is worth a punt? No insults please !

Scully was out of contract so I think it's fair to say he's gone.

You going to stump up some of your impressive wage to pay for them??

Think of the off-field problems with Sculthorpe, well you would replace them with Thackray. Very good impact forward but brings a lot of baggage. Boyle, last I heard (admittedly on RLFans) was on his way to Salford. He wants regular first team opportunities apparently, would he get that here?

I'd take Boyle or Thackray on the right terms but I don't think we need another two props and I think both would potentially be looking at a decent wage.

I'd also look to let Bibb go if we can get someone to take him off our hands. Simply not SL quality IMHO, a couple of seasons in the NFP may help him develop and who knows.

I wouldn't disagree that they are both worth having but I think we have covered the impact prop role with Korki and Boyle looks like he wants more than a young prop learning role.

I'd go for the lower division 'potential' guys, who want the chance but would be happy with fighting for the odd game role. We don't hav ethe money to have a decent player sitting beind Morrison and Fergy but we do need support in those roles. Hendo covers the worker role but I'd like to see a strong running "rough diamond". Can't say I know who that is but home we are looking. Wilkes was a good example of this.

paul johnstone will do an exellent job in sr.and will be great cover in the backs.

I wonder why we have not had this confirmed YET if this is true ???

I heard it was verbally agreed as Johnson's contract doesnt expire till November??

what about taking a punt at some local ameatur lads? at stanley for example you ve got class acts such as kev king, rhodesy, that brett lad im sure they coulddo a job at super league level

don't think it matters mate aslong as he's in his last year, ie due to run out

Kev King, sadly, couldn't cut it last time, why would he no?. Lets be honest, there's usually a reason why players play amateur level and not a pro - be it an attidute problem, couldn't be bothered with the training, dedication and fitness required to play for money, and most crucially of all, not good enough.

If they're not goo enough to be picked up by Championship (1) clubs, why would that 'do a job at Super League' level?
