Fash delivers verdict on FC's recruitment

BRAD Fash has given a straight-up verdict on Hull FC's recruitment for 2026, and he believes the squad will be better equipped to deal with whatever is thrown at them next season.

The Black and Whites have prioritised adding depth and competition to their ranks after an injury-hit year.

That has seen eight players arrive, with Jake Arthur, Connor Bailey, Joe Batchelor, James Bell, Harvie Hill, Sam Lisone, Joe Phillips, and Arthur Romano all added to John Cartwright's squad.

Creating a bulkier unit, Fash is now backing Hull to go one better than 2025 and secure a playoff position. The side finished seventh last season, and are now targeting the next level in an increased 14-team competition after what was still, all things considered, a much-improved year.
