I reckon we're full up at the moment, but I guess Kelly's future is still uncertain.


Why do you say Kellys future is uncertain?

… because he was hoping to return to Australia, and as nothing has been confirmed one way or the other, his future is uncertain.






Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

How do we look then?

Full backs

Shaul
Wynne

Three quaters

Naulago
Tuimavave
Fonua
Faraimo
Swift
Buchanan

Halves

Connor (also Full back, centre)
Kelly
Sneyd
Harris?

Hooker

Houghton
Johnstone (also half back)

Middle Forwards

Taylor
Sao
Satae
Bowden
Ellis
Fash (possible Hooker)
Matongo
Brown
Bienek

Edge Forwards

Ma'u
Griffin (also three quarter)
Jones
Savelio (also middle forward)
Lane

I've left out others who are out of contract like Logan and Scott, because I don't know their future, and I left out Dawson-Jones because he's likely to leave.

Did I miss anyone?

Noticed all the overseas forwards we have signed, have the label of versatile, think we’ll see plenty of changes in the front and 2nd row, I’m still not convinced, griffin will be down for 2nd row next season, personally think with the pack we can start with, griffin would be destructive in the centre. Really interesting and exciting, I think if Connor doesn’t up his game and nail down a position, can see him playing plenty of reserves next year, if we are fully fit. Which is pretty unbelievable, maybe we should of cashed in ha

Not a chance in Hell, Radders would drop Connor. He’s a maverick, but one of our top 3 players. He needs to stop sulking and play at right centre. He’s not a 6 (imo of course).

Isn't Kelly contracted until the end of next season?

I agree, apart from Radford not dropping him. I think he would if he ain’t playing well and attitude is off. I think he is one of our best players, but must admit, I’m struggling to fit him in the starting 13 next season, on his current form

We all know the saying ‘Form is temporary’ and like I said he’s a maverick.
For me a he’s a lock for right centre and the other Tuimavave (although I prefer Fonua at centre then I do Winger but he’ll play there) then there’s the question if Fonua is winger who does he drop Faraimo or Naulago?
But regarding Connor he’s too hot and cold for a half back. Plus the fact he’s not as good as Sneyd or Kelly to oust them from the starting berths.

Yes, but when Adam Pearson was quoted in the Yorkshire Post Pearson saying: “No. I think Alby fires on Alby. I think he thinks he has another contract in the NRL and to do that he knows he needs a big year with us. In my opinion, he is looking to finish off his career there and to do that he needs to be playing really well for us. He is a complex character but I do think if we can get him, Jake and Marc Sneyd playing well together, we’ll have a great backline.”

Sounds to me that this year could have been his last, others on here have said the same, but whether he gets an NRL contract remains to be seen. Some how I doubt it.

If he does go, I can't see AP announcing it any time soon.

He's the best no 6 I've ever seen playing for Hull in 60+ years, so hopefully he stays.

I agree with that but for me Fonua will play centre.
If everyone is fit Connor should start at right centre but no doubt he will get moved around again when necessary into the halfs or full back which as we can see effects his game
The problem i can see is Fonua is better as a right centre and Tuimavave as a left centre and see no reason to drop either Ratu or Faraimo so unless Kelly decides to leave which i doubt then we may see a lot more of his sulking coming off the bench

Yeh agree with this to, personally think Connor should of been playing right centre all season on the back of his international appearances. Carlos v Connor for the right centre spot. Tough call, will be even harder next year. Connor at 6 ain’t the answer, think he needs to accept he ain’t no 6
