The Black and Whites have made notable acquisitions for the upcoming 2024 season, including forwards Franklin Pele and Herman Ese’ese, along with the addition of Fa’amanu Brown. Brown, a former Featherstone Rovers player, brings valuable experience as both a Samoan and New Zealand international.
However, Hull still has a gap to fill in their roster, particularly in the outside back position. Adam Pearson mentioned the club’s intention to make another signing in this area, with only Liam Tindall from Leeds Rhinos secured so far. Given injuries affecting players like Carlos Tuimavave, bolstering this position becomes crucial, with potential targets including Derrell Olpherts and options from the Championship.
As the new year approaches, the club faces uncertainties, amplified by Liam Tindall’s recent thumb injury. Nevertheless, they’ve made moves to strengthen their lineup, including the addition of fullback Jack Walker, formerly of Leeds Rhinos and Hull KR, who is primed for a standout year after rigorous preparation.
With options in the spine solidified, the question remains whether Hull’s recruitment is complete or if they’ll delve into the market further, potentially as a festive treat for their supporters. Only time will unveil the outcome as Tony Smith’s tenure at the MKM Stadium unfolds.
