The McGillvary rumour was my favourite recently.

In a daft way we have to many outside backs . I can count 9 which is fine when injuries happen and with the fixtures this season , but I think it's going to be difficult keeping them all happy .

Don't think we need another back, if Michaels resigns. But I would look at signing another front rower, as we only really have Watts, Taylor, Bowden and Green. Thompson can step in and there's eventually Masi but we're definitely a front rower short.

Agreed, good thing about Fonua on the wing is that we can use him to kicks to the corner, which is a dangerous weapon, also takes away his defensive weakness.

If we have cap space left I'd save it and see what happens during the season.

If we sign Kelly then the juries out but apart from the resigning of Michaels id go with what we have. Something tells me that we wont have it so easy with injuries next season so lets hope the younger and fringe players get more game time so we can find the next future stars of Hull FC - There has to be a path for the younger lads to progress or whats the point in them staying?

If thats the clubs idea then little point in extending Michaels contract or as Pearson said looking at an additional outside back.
It will be interesting though to see how many of our fringe players leave or are subject to loans to other clubs.
I can see four or five on the move.

I'd agree about michaels. A s it stands, if we sign him and kelly then one of our overseas backs isn't in the first choice line up which is a waste. I can;t see the point of tuimavave or michaels sitting in the stands when we have naughton and connor as back up

I have a feeling that Naughton will be leaving.

I would like him to stay but he needs to be playing and that isn't going to happen very much for us.

If he does go I hope it's only on loan and we can reassess the situation in a year's time.

Totally agree. Would like him to stay, but can't see him getting much game time.
As you said, hope its on loan if he goes.
