News outlets in Hull are reporting we are in talks with Brad Dwyer

We’ve ruddy signed him. We’ll miss Clark, he’s lost his zip but I was willing him to come on last night and shore things up, which he did.

Answers my question about who will be Walkers understudy. He'll do a shift.

The return of the headless chicken.

I can only think (hope) we must be chucking massive money at a centre and forward.

He's absolutely fine as a 2nd hooker, good signing for me. I will miss Clark. He's been brilliant but it is time for Walker to take the 9 shirt.

Didn’t Dwyer leave us then Leeds because he didn’t want to be an understudy? Or did I imagine that?

He’ll do okay as impact booker, but doesn’t have the all-round game of Walker. However, he can kick a mean drop goal which is always a bonus.

It appears similar to the Russell signing, limited player but hopefully cheap.

Wasn't he highly regarded among some of the Leeds fans ?

Yes that's correct - so why would he sign for us to be exactly where he was 3 years or so ago?

And I don't think he'll come to us in a 'Russell' fashion. Russell had no options but wanted a chance. Smart bit of business by DP/KF. He's already earned his money this year for me.

I'm resigned to loosing Clark, and he will be a big loss imo because he can do what he did on Friday - a big plus. For me he's still our no. 9 but Walker is obviously the future.
I like Dwyer, but don't think he gives us enough of a difference to Walker.

I believe he did, but he's been a bench replacement hooker at the other clubs that he's been at, since he left us. I'm fine with him being back up to Walker.

Already chatting about this in the recruitment and retention thread. I'm very happy with this if true. But some people really aren't, so he's a bit of a marmite player it seems.

Because he's 30 years old now,? He rightly left to try to nail down a starting spot to further his career, because we have had the luxury of having an excellent Darryl Clark as first choice for 9 years. Dwyer is a good hooker, walker will be first choice, but dwyer will provide a spark off the bench, he's also got a nice habit of snatching important trys from dummy half against stubborn defences.
