Jake the Peg:
Why are these signings being communicated in the daily wail before the club announces them? I can't believe dan is doing it without the club agreeing so why are they letting him do it, particularly with the 2026 signings when 2025 is barely begun?
Hull officially announcing Asiata absolutely rattled Beaumont and Myler took a load of stick for it. Only a guess but maybe not kicking up a stink about Dan unofficially announcing the domestic signings helps keep a feel good factor around the club without stepping on other SL clubs toes too much?
Changing the anti tamper rules to Dec before a ball is kicked just means more of this will happen. Even last year before the rule change Wakefield ‘unofficially’ announced McMeeken and Johnstone pretty much at the start of the season.
