Simon Grix admits Hull FC are fighting a losing battle in their bid to bring in a half-back in time for Saturday's derby against Hull KR.
The Black and Whites are on the lookout for a new playmaker following Ben Reynolds' sudden departure on Monday. 'This season it's very difficult ,' said interim head coach Grix. 'We've had players outgoing and for whatever reason it's tough to get them to come back the other way. 'Unfortunately, we're in a position where other teams don't want to help us or can't. I'd hope it's more that they can't help us.
I was absolutely oblivious. 'I've got a bit of a story but it's not for me to share. There was an understanding in place but he has chosen to go his own way. 'It's disappointing, the timing of it, but we can't drag Benny back in here and force him to play. We'll move on.' Teenager Jack Charles is Reynolds' obvious replacement but he faces a race against time to prove his fitness after picking up a knock playing for the academy.
