Would keep Lee. From having loads of hookers, if Houghton goes on loan and we release Lee, we've no cover for Berro.
I really hope Houghton's loan is to the right club. Anyone know if Berro's deal is a straight 4 year one or 3 with an option? If the latter, maybe the plan is for Houghton to get a lot more gametime in 2010 and come back as first choice? Houghton is OOC at the end of 2010 though. Not sure where all this is going.
For the rest, Moa and Maloney need to play every week for the rest of the season to judge them. I do like the way Moa works the crowd though.

Would be disappointed to see Houghton go on loan I want him to play with Berro (3 + 1 option I think). I would release Lee. As for Moa he needs to be given a chance now and looks like he could do it. As you say a character engaging the crowd is a refreshing change. Maloney I like but I'm not sure he is physically big enough for SL prop.

Berrigan is 3 with an option I think, this is what I said on the hooker thread, if they do send him on loan it has to be on the understanding he will be that teams starting hooker, somewhere like cas would be good! Then after a year as a starting 9 he should be in good shape to be ours! Would extend his contract though! Don't want him going somewhere, enjoying it and have him fob us off!

Disagree only on that point. Relatively cheap, can cover 7,9,11,12,13. Not fantastic but has shown a brilliant attitude to come back and deliver adequately as a squad player at this level when he was subject to massive criticism last year. I'm guessing he's being offered more cash elsewhere, in which case good luck to him, but it looks like we're going with a smaller better quality squad next season and I think Lee's versatility and attitude would bring something to the party.

Think he's done OK this year but for me not the required quality. As you say depending upon cost I suppose he might get a cheap deal with us. If he can get a hooking role at another SL club good luck to him.

I know this is a chat and speculate forum.......But i'd just love to know where everyone gets their sources from
Surley.....the players mentioned aren't locked away in a box and wrapped in cling-film each week so they don't hear anything!!! Although...I suspect Adam Dykes may have been last year. (if only he had been fit for the final eh?)
It would be nice to know that Agar is telling the lads that they are playing for their FC careers.......and meaning it!!! Hull FC have this season, vastly under achieved. We are down to eleventh in the league, no Wembley to look forward to and losing players to injuries again. I think we still can make the play offs.....and hopefully get some recovered and refreshed squad members back to be in with a chance of at least winning a play-off game! (against Hull KR would be pleasent!!!!! ).
To sum up........I don't think discussing who 'WE THINK' is going and who 'MAY BE' staying is healthy for any team members who 'may' log on to RLfans for a sneaky-peek!!!!

So it's
Motu
Thorman
G Horne
Maloney
King
Thacks
Tickle
Hall
Houghton going out on loan
Does that mean Lee's departure to Salford is not happening ?? And does that leave enough room for a "marquee" type signing or are we now looking at just a couple of signings like Turner and Rooney ???
