I see that there is also a clause explicitly saying that injured players cannot be loaned out to reduce salary cap liability.

Whatever us fans think of Rovers, the benefits to Hull FC of them remaining in Superleague are tangible. The derby matches generate so much extra revenue

“No intention of playing departing players” - Not quote as he’s still playing Westerman.

Shouldnt be as his recent form is poor.
Would rather have had Hadley in there for the last two or thee games as Westerman is just going through the motions

Player welfare, as a rugby club we have an moral obligation to look after players, if we aren't going to play them and they have the chance to play SL, then I think we have to do that,particularly for players who have given their all for the club.

Not too bothered about Hadley, but think it's an error with Litten.

Hopefully Lewis

No way will it be him.

If we can get a decent prospect (Maybe a hooker) then it makes sense to do the deal early.

Rovers have recalled Lewis from a loan spell, maybe just a coincidence.

True. And technically Mini and Manu and maybe Paea.
Perhaps "departing fringe players" would be more accurate.

I think that speculation regarding Mikey Lewis going to Hull is wide of the mark.

Over the next few months it wouldn't surprise me if there were a few swap deals amongst youngsters. The recent draft has placed a few lads with the club they didn't want to be at. Most have accepted it but a few players and parents have been voiciferourous in their displeasure.

Regarding Litten and Hadley. Good business for both clubs. Neither are in your plans so it gets them off the books early and both of them get into Rovers 17 so it is win win.
