Good lad Harvie, plenty of time on his side. There are not a lot of good players on the homegrown market, particularly young ones, so Hull have done a good bit of business. I agree with Johnh we will need to invest in our pack for 2026, I suspect though that new recruits will have to come from the NRL.

I think it makes sense. The club will know where he's at in terms of development vs those below him (Makin and McDermott) and what his value is to us considering he's our 5th or 6th choice prop when all are fit, even excluding Byrne (1. Thompson, 2. Havard, 3. Dupree, 4. Mago, 5. Walters). We clearly have our eyes on someone (or two) to fill the gaps left by Byrne, Hill, Eseh and Chan, it's needed to keep the level of competition high and the likes of Dupree looking over his shoulder.


Good luck to him at Hull, hopefully they look after him well.

Think its a big blow personally - I'm sure the club wouldn't have wanted to lose both Byrne and Hill. Particularly given Havard's history of hamstring injuries. This was always going to happen at some point tho - I remember posting last year that something will have to give when the academy is producing so many good players that need and deserve game time. The salary cap also starts to bite harder when clubs achieve success. 

I wonder on what Myler bases his definition of a “big club”

I presume we'll have Vaughan and Sambou next year to compete, and hopefully Hirst as well.

Sutton has just been released by Canterbury................


Not that I think we should sign him!




Shame Harvie is heading off especially as it looked like he would lots of game time with Liam leaving.  Hull have picked up a good player.  Imagine he's been offered a pretty big contract.


Nice to see Hull looking like they are heading in the right direction, much better for the competition.
