Would love to see us line up like that next season.
Id go with that maybe with the execption of Horne given a run at FB instead of Tansey to start with, apart from that I would love to see that side start the season.
Although Im pretty sure Agar has in mind Fitz at 13, Long 7, Horne 6 and Berrigan 9, I just cant see him moving away fom this and I also expect there to be a place in the side for Radford, with there been no real top drawer centres available I would like to see us go with either Briscoe or Hall but I think Turner is earmarked for the other centre position.

That's almost the team I would pick, I do have reservation about Briscoe in the centres, he could be struggle in defence for a while while he gets used to that position and we don't know how good a user of the ball he would be but he needs to be given a shot there. However there is no way Horne won't be in the side and I would move him to centre and faze Briscoe in gradually.
From what I have been told one of the main reason Turner is going to you,is because he is fed up with being played out of position, He is first and foremost a 6, and also plays 13 but doesn't like being played in the centre's, he has only played there because last season we had Reid and Jimenez leave before the opening of our season, so he slotted into the centre and became a victim of the of his own success, and again this year, we have had injuries to Talau and White so again slotted into Centre, Plus that coupled with the success of Our halves and Swain at Lock he cannot get a look in those positions, Which is a shame because he will be a Good Young Super League player

And how accurate is the Lee to Salford rumour ?
anyone's guess!!he has defo improved this year but his defence is better than his attacking,which for me,shows why most hull fans prefer houghton.he is ooc at the end of this season and i would have thought mccrae knows quite a bit about him.as for turner,apart from the odd rumour,nothing has been really mentioned,so you lot at your end will have more info about his status for next season,so..............?

I cant see Turner being first choice 6 or 13 at Hull.
I would imagine tht Turner is moving to Hull as he wants to play a for club that has more chance of winning things and being succesful.

Forwards: I think we'll keep Kingy and Radford (also cover for 2nd row) and one of Moa/Maloney/Cordoba as prop cover. 2nd row is covered by Burnett. Loose cover Whiting, keep Lee as cover for all the above.
Backs: Briscoe and Hall are the only cover for our back positions signed for next year (Whiting also capable of doing a job). As I said, a player to cover 1-5 and a player to cover 6&7 needed.
Atkins, Rooney, Turner or equivalent players and i think we're sorted.
Tony, Thorman, G. Horne, Thacks, Hodgson, Moa/Maloney/Cordoba to leave.
That would give us a squad of 27 (we went into this season with 26), with perhaps a couple of academy players brought in.
tansey is a centre hes only played about 5 games at full back
we nned a fullback or move horne and get a 6
