telling Serious About RL last week that FC are keen on adding a centre.<\/a><\/p>\nArthur would be Hull\u2019s 10th overseas signing but the understanding is that FC could make manoeuvres to free up more quota space over the coming months and that would allow the club to recruit an outside back from the NRL, should they fail to find a suitable target domestically, or even keep hold of Ligi Sao.<\/p>\n
With a half-back in the offing, we\u2019ve taken a look at how the west Hull outfit might line up next season.<\/p>\n
Hull FC potential 2026 Super League line-up<\/p>\n
Full-Back: Will Pryce<\/p>\n
Pryce looks set to take on the full-back reins long-term at Hull and after struggling with injury this year, he\u2019ll be expected to make himself the main man on the back of a strong pre-season next year.<\/p>\n
Wing: Harvey Barron<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been an encouraging year for the towering winger as he hones his game and learns his trade. He\u2019s still only 22 but this season he has scored 11 tries in 19 games and he\u2019s only getting better.<\/p>\n
Centre: Zak Hardaker<\/p>\n
Hardaker has starred across the field for the Black and Whites this season and he\u2019ll be looking to nail down a more regular spot next season. Cartwright\u2019s desire to add a centre should be noted, though.<\/p>\n
Centre: Davy Litten<\/p>\n
Litten is rated very highly and if he continues on his current trajectory, he can become a Super League star. The 22-year-old ought to be on notice though regarding Cartwright\u2019s centre comments.<\/p>\n
Wing: Lewis Martin<\/p>\n
Super League\u2019s current top tryscorer is a star in the making. He\u2019s touched down 27 times this year, which is a club record, and he\u2019s still only 20.<\/p>\n
Stand-off: Jake Arthur<\/p>\n
Arthur looks set to make his second Knights appearance this weekend at North Queensland Cowboys, but he could well be one of Hull\u2019s leading man in Super League. Should he put pen to paper, he\u2019ll given the creative keys and asked to combine with Aidan Sezer.<\/p>\n
Scrum-half: Aidan Sezer<\/p>\n
The skipper has been one of the signings of the year. There\u2019s no question marks about what he offers this team.<\/p>\n
Prop: Herman Ese\u2019ese<\/p>\n
This doesn\u2019t need much explaining. An undoubted starter.<\/p>\n
Hooker: Amir Bourouh<\/p>\n
The signing of Arthur would free Cade Cust up to spell Bourouh. The hooker has excelled at Hull and he can expect to play less minutes in the red zone physically next season, allowing him to do more of what he does best.<\/p>\n
Prop: Liam Knight<\/p>\n
Another impressive signing. He can play big minutes and when he\u2019s fit and firing he\u2019s a reliable figure through the middle.<\/p>\n
Second-row: Jed Cartwright<\/p>\n
Cartwright has shown what he can do when he\u2019s at his best but the Black and Whites need to see more of him with injuries continuing to have an impact on his game time.<\/p>\n
Second-row: Joe Batchelor<\/p>\n
Batchelor looks a tidy addition in the back-row and having spent time in winning cultures at St Helens, he\u2019ll add plenty.<\/p>\n
Loose-forward: John Asiata<\/p>\n
Like so many in this line-up, his presence in the side doesn\u2019t need much explaining.<\/p>\n
Bench: Cade Cust, Sam Lisone, James Bell, Harvie Hill.<\/p>\n
Cust provides depth at hooker and also the halves should something go wrong, but in Lisone, Hill and Bell, Hull are adding size, depth and, in Hill\u2019s case, potential to their pack options. It wouldn\u2019t be a surprise to see Hull add another one or two domestic faces to their forward ranks for next season either, just to give themselves strength in depth.<\/p>\n
