In an effort to add size and quality, the NRL are talking with multiple Australian agents to lure talent to the Super League competition.

After making an inquiry about South Sydney Rabbitohs prop George Burgess and failing to gain traction, fans can notice the types of players Hull FC will be looking for.

Burgess, while not resigning with the Rabbitohs is set to return to the NRL and has no desires to head overseas to the Super League.

Players speculated to receive interest include Broncos' one-man club Alex Glenn and Paramatta prop forward Kane Evans among others. Glenn is out of contract at the end of this season and Evans to finish his three-year deal at the end of next season.

This transfer window for Hull FC is crucial for them as many senior players are out of contract at the end of the season and two back-rowers likely to retire at the end of the season.

Former captain Gareth Ellis had come out of retirement for Hull FC to help with their injury crisis, but will likely retire for the final time at the end of the season.

Hull FC look to return to their winning ways after winning consecutive challenge cups in 2016 and 2017. They missed the play-offs in 2018.
