HULL KR coach Justin Morgan hasn't ruled out making a move for Hull FC pair Lee Radford and Craig Hall, now that the anti-tampering deadline has gone.

According to Morgan, no talks have taken place yet but they are two players he would like to talk to about moves to Craven Park.

"I'm not ruling it out, nor am I ruling it in," Morgan told the Mail.

"There is lots still to be done and recruitment of other players will have some bearing on that.

"We haven't spoken to anybody just yet.

"People know we are targeting Blake Green and Willie Mason and they are top of the priority list.

"A lot depends on whether we offer Lee and Craig contracts.

"That is the last piece of the jigsaw and there are lots of things to consider before that.

"I'd be happy to talk to them and that's the first step. There are 10 or 12 players I would like to talk to, but some might not want to talk to us."

Radford, 31, has been offered a one-year deal on reduced terms at Hull and he is believed to be keen to get the security of a two-year contract.

Morgan respects his leadership qualities, but hasn't spoken to him just yet.

He said: "If Lee was to become available, I'd like to talk to him, of course I would.

"He is an experienced senior English player and I think that he would be a huge asset to our team."

Although the Mail understands Hall has already signed a deal with Rovers, Morgan says that is not the case.

But the 22-year-old centre is a player Morgan admires.

"He is a very fast outside back which are like gold dust in this country," he said.

"He's still only a young man and he has been at one club for a few years and sometimes a change is good.

"We might go and knock on his door and say we would like a chat.

"If the money and the desire is right and he fits into my plans about where to play him that's when you go to the next step.

"He is somebody that is available and I think we will have a chat with him."

    “black n, white
    Surely keeping all your options open is sensible.
    Why is it embarrasing?”

    “chas me old mate, saying he would like to speak to any available player on the same day that he stays with his club IS embarrasing as that coach is clearly saying that he wants to and in hkrs fully arrogant way,fully expects to get his man. if this was agar after say briscoe and this happened i am sure the red n white brigade would be in full cry. YES?”

    “black n, white
    You need to read the article before making a commenting.
    Morgan states that he has not even held talks.
    Or else you end up looking dafter then Eddy.
    And that takes some doing”

    To make your post credible it is best to reveal to source of your information”
