Director of rugby Richie Myler and incoming head coach John Cartwright have held talks with the unnamed players, who are regulars in the competition Down Under.
Hull have already confirmed the signings of John Asiata, Jordan Abdull and Amir Bourouh, while Leigh Leopards trio Ed Chamberlain, Zak Hardaker and Oliver Holmes are also on their way to the MKM Stadium.
Asiata and Jake Trueman take up two of Hull’s marquee spots, leaving a third available as the club look to round off their recruitment for 2025.
“We’ve signed six or seven already for next year,” Pearson told The Yorkshire Post.
“We’ll probably have two marquee players next season, maybe a third.
“There’s a couple of very exciting potential signings on the horizon. If Richie and John pull those signings off, we’ll have a very exciting squad and a really, really strong spine for next season.
“John and Richie are talking daily. A lot of the targets are players John has coached over the last five to seven years so he’s got a really good handle on the personality and attributes of the player.
“In the past, we’ve used an Australian scout or football manager over there for references or recommendations but it feels a lot safer having somebody who has actually had these players in their camp before.”
Following the departure of several overseas players in the first half of the season, Hull now have two quota spaces open.
Only a few months into their contracts, Nu Brown and Franklin Pele left, and Jayden Okunbor, another off-season addition, recently went on loan to the Bradford Bulls of the Championship.
