Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Hull will be the major beneficiaries of Great Britain's Tri-Nations tour, according to their former chief executive, Shane Richardson. The Australian was responsible for the early development of the four Hull players in the squad currently in the southern hemisphere and he believes they will all prosper after the tournament.

"It's great news for the club," said Richardson, who is now chief executive at South Sydney. "All the players involved will show the benefit next season but there are more to come, because the Academy system is so good."

Richard Horne, Kirk Yeaman, Gareth Raynor and Garreth Carvell all played a part in the club's Challenge Cup final victory in 2005 and their Grand Final appearance last season and all four have figured in Australia and New Zealand on this trip.

Hull Kingston Rovers, meanwhile, have continued their team-strengthening by signing the utility back Luke Dyer from Castleford. The 25-year-old former Balmain, Melbourne and Penrith player has signed a one-year contract and arrives at Craven Park as a non-quota player for the Super League newcomers.
