Both will struggle on the cap space, this could work in our favour.

Hull Kr need to clear cap space

We was interested in Corey Hall too but Broadbent doesn’t want to go to KR and is holding out for saints.

George King be a class signing

Only thing is Leeds and Huddersfield are better options for him and he’s from Huddersfield

Do Hudds need anymore props, they’re stacked. Leeds definitely need one though. As for us, we need about 5 new ones.

Apparently saints crying out for a outside back and Broadbent wants to go there

Don’t think he’s good enough for saints mind

alarm bells go off when a club want to offload a player like George mid season, when there is a shortage of good props in the league, to start with a stringent medical we dont need to have our fingers burnt once again

Not sure we want to be signing more old journeymen, he would be 30 at the start of the 2025 season.
Haven’t we just got the average age of the squad down? With our track record for injuries, what are the chances he would make 30 appearances before hanging up his boots?

Average age will go up with the younger players leaving due to the way the clubs run

You wouldn't want a prop who's 29?

his age is not a problem, it is the reason WHY mid season still in the cup would you want to let a good prop go something does not seem right

Don’t know the ins and outs but like Mucky implies there’s nothing wrong with 29 for a prop. A lot are in their prime late twenties/early thirties
