I didn't say he would, I just said that, as a trialist, he had to play yesterday, and probably will against rovers as well.

Maybe there is an offer on the table for Shaul, and we're weighing up our options?

Naughton only accepted a 1 year contract when we wanted longer, so maybe he's a target.

Income from pass sales could be down by as much as £150k, a tidy sum.

Any fallout between Saul & Radford would be a carry over from last season when Radford was caught lying live on air and using bully tactics to put his player down and call him a liar to save his own booty. It's no wonder the kid is vexed off the way he was treated by the so called adult!
So instead of man managing the situation with regard to Saul (otherwise why are we even letting Smith train with us) we could be losing our decent young FB who has pace to burn, who does back up and can spot the gaps for a slug whom is almost 30 that no begger wants..oh but he'll be cheap so that's okay then! typifies Hull FC over the last 2 seasons with nobodies being brought in instead of trusting to the youth, why is Naughton not the FB option after Saul, he was specifically brought in by Radford to cover that role (amongst others) and is a FB specialist.
We had the option for the 2nd year on Naughton's contract, wasn't it us that only wanted to keep it to 1 year as opposed to the other way around? I'd rather we keep him and what he can offer than sign a player on the way down.

Really disappointing if he leaves. We have little enough pace as it is and he definitely has the x factor

If Shaul doesnt appear at all against HKR then i would say the writing is on the wall and the rumours probably true.
Cant see him playing against Salford without any pre season game time.
Crooks,Lineham,and now possibly Shaul.
We dont need Smith as we have sufficient cover and as a full back is not the type we need. With the offload ability we now have in the forwards the back up pacey Shaul type is whats needed.
Naughton is not an ideal full back but would rather see him there than Smith but we all know Smith is a done deal as far as Radford is concerned.

And you know this is factually correct?

why don't we wait and see what happens, where does this rumour come from? or is it just a case of mischief making

Here we go - different year, but same old bullshine.

That's what I thought .

You forgot westerman. Maybe rovers have offered a fee for shaul?

It always amazes me how someone who detests so much about the club can call himself a supporter.
