Hull FC • Shopping list for 2024
Just playing fantasy mucky kebab swap, looking at your squad.
On the youth side, I’d divide it into two groups.
1: Scott, McNamara, Brown and Wynne who are 21-23
2: those with squad numbers 24 and above, excepting Shaul, Taylor and Dwyer. I’m sure there’s some great potential in there, but apart from Gardiner they’re all teenagers (a couple turn 20 soon).
In the short-term you know that the first lot can do a job if needed, but they probably don’t shift the dial. The second lot are very green, and it’d be a big gamble to rely on them. To me it feels like anybody in a specialist position you could realistically swap out, would mean having to recruit for the same position. That might be worth it just to freshen things up, of course.
