I dont think there will be a question mark over Talanoa at all unless he doesn't want to.
1 of our top performers every time he puts the shirt on
You would struggle to get a winger who ticks as many of the boxes he does. I'd love him to be half a yard faster but in every season he's been 1 of our consistent best. Wins more pens gets more fast plays than nearly any1 in the league. Finishes well. Decent under the high ball. Strong tackler (never seen him run over) beats 1st defenders everytime and never dominated on the floor
I'm always a bit dumfounded by how often his value is questioned by some fans

Don't agree, very poor under the high ball, has he either scored a try from a high kick?

He is strong one on one, but his positional play is sometimes poor.

Great go forward but not as good as some make out (Hull fanzine claim he is the best winger in SL!!)

If we could find a decent English replacement I'd let him go.

Would hope we get Hadley sorted out as he could be a replacement for Ellis or mini. Why look elsewhere when we already have a good backrower on the books. Saying that be nice to get a bit of omph of the bench as well. Who knows who won't be here next year.

Not so much his ability or any lack of that there may be a question mark over however the concussion issue is something I would think the club would have a question mark over and seriously look at in both the health/welfare of Talanoa as a human being and also the fact he could miss a huge chunk of any contract.

Think that's utter tripe myself. I know some people on the staff..coach and players who massively disagree as well
Last year in a season of performers he was top or top 3 in tries busts breaks and metres. Been top or top 3 in each season for fast plays of the ball won and penalties won in the whole of the league. Not sure how much he could improve his go forward.

Go forward is great ( I didn't word it very well) defensively isn't great, particularly dealing with kicks and lacks pace.

We have a good pack and others than give us good go forward, I'd like a winger with more pace if there is a good one available.

Micheals definately will go at the end of the season.
Rawsthorne will be the reserve wing

There is also Naughton, not sure where he fits in.

I know he wants to play for Hull, but not sure he is in Radford plans.

I wouldn't have kept Michaels for this year and would have signed a quota forward.
