Sneyd definitely injured when I saw his limping around Brough the other week. Westerman will take Turgut AND PART OF Manu's as I've been told he's going home unfortunately.

Many isn't on the OOC list so does that mean he's retiring? That'd be a real shame.

It'd be interesting going into the next season with a quota spot open. Chance for a bargain mid-season? Or a chance to shut up opposition fans who say we have too many overseas lads.

New one year deal for Mark Minichiello. http://www.hullfc.com/news/2018-07-04-black-whites-tie-down-minichiello-for-2019

Good news IMO and think he's been playing well in recent weeks although we still don;t really give our back rowers enough good ball in decent areas of the pitch. Despite his age he's been the most robust of our back rowers this season

Needs to be spelled IMO, as he plays too many minutes.

Need Westy and Manu next.

OT but Gelling signing for Widnes is a strange one, great signing for them, but you would think he would go to a better club.

I can't think money talks at Widnes either. A good player, maybe nobody else was in for him?

I agree we need to hold on to Washy, but not so sure about Manu, but I trust Lee & Gareth (and Adam, it is his money at the end of the day)

I presume you mean Westy, not Washy (Who I wouldn't keep).

Manu is a must, I don't understand anyone thinking otherwise, we are different side when he is on the field, if he doesn't stay he needs replacing with equal quality and influence which will be tough.

apologies, I meant Westy, we need another Ellis (and as we know, that doesn't exist in our salary cap)

Minis been great off field for the club. Apparently Masi spent some time with him pre-season to see how he prepares and see what food he eats.
Hope he gets the Grand Final he’s desperate for!

Some good points made in the Hull Daily Mail about how our better ‘player care’ is leading to results. An example being Manu being allowed to go play for Tonga mid-season, these little things help a lot when it comes to renewals.

Compare and contrast to the bad old days when Kath refused to pay for the players lunch after they had just won the 2005 CC and approx £500k in revenue.
