According to James Smailes.

Brad Parker is no longer at the club...

Captain of England u16's 2 years ago ,chased by a number of SL clubs
and now this...

I asked James Smailes the reasoning, his reply was "no idea"...

On Brad Parker's twitter..
I have been playing at Hull FC since I was 12 and I am eternally great full to The club and everything they have done for me! #coyh #hullfc

I am no longer an under19's player at the greatest club in the world, it's a new chapter in my life and I am looking forward to the future.

Don't know anything about him but maybe he just isn't good enough?

Nor me but it seems strange that he should leave half way through the season.

Not sure what has gone on, for him to leave halfway through the season, but he hasn't progressed like I thought he would do, had a few injuries, but not sure he was ever going to make it.

1865 might be able to give a better opinion of him, as I haven't seen many games this year.

he's been in and out the team this year, Josh Wood has been preferred as the starting 9.

A lot of people will just look at the fact he was England u16 but the transition through each level is very different for all players, at times some of them don't make it.

I did post a few weeks ago in that hooker is an area we will struggle to bring someone through locally in the next few years.

There has been some breakdown between player and club so maybe that has led to this being done before end of season, have no doubt he will get a crack at KR though

I work with his brother in law so will be able to get his view on Monday !!! I know Leeds were sniffing round him last year tho

Not really been doing it and as Hutchie says, it's not an area we're blessed in at all.

Surprised to see him go mid-season and wouldn't be surprised if it's because he's signing somewhere else.

Too old to play in 19s so in limbo

Pretty sure that is wrong he is 18, not 19 until October, has played a few games this year.

Sounds to be it was his choice, reckon he had a new club lined up as he hasn't get enough gametime at Hull.

Cracking fast hardworking 9, was a talent right through his youth days at east hull, shame it hasn't worked out, I know a year or so a go he started with epilepsy.
