Pretty sure Rovers will be extending Watts contract soon. Not heard much about taylor so far this year, I thought he might have been in or around the first team squad more TBH.
If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...

We need to hold on to our club trained players. Hull don't have a quota spot. I'm struggling to see many suitable swaps.
I know it has been a time of plenty for Hull, but with G. Horne, King and Lee all just left, Hull maybe have to start thinking for the first time about the club-trained rule -not for the immediate future but 3, 4, 5 years down the line. Letting Hall, Washbrook and Houghton leave in one go, whether to Rovers or elsewhere, would be massively profligate.

Too much competition at the moment with Clint, Benny, Cooke, Nev.

He has pace to burn, great hands and is a natural try scorer. Neither player defends that well but centre is a difficult position to defend in and i don't think there are any centres in the world who defend the position perfectly.
If i were JM i'd be busting a gut to get Craig at Rovers next season.
Possibly so, I'm just pointing out that we're yet to see Hall really establish himself as a regular SL centre, whereas we have with Welham. That could be down to coaching, selection issues, attitude - until he proves himself somewhere, potential doesn't mean an awful lot.
I also said that I agree with most on here who think Hall is the more talented of the two and I'd quite like to see him given a fresh start at Rovers, but I think calling Welham a 'liability' and 'not good enough' is somewhat harsh given what he has achieved.

He'll get his chance. Morgan rates him very highly.

I doubt it mate, in 4 or 5 years time i expect our backline to be J. Briscoe R. Lynne K. Yeaman T. Briscoe D. Tuffour
Also with the other Briscoe in the back row with Mike Burnett and players like Cunningham coming through i don't think we need worry too much
