If Brett Hodgson has a successful season with Hull .Will he move on ?Then we’re back to square one Rugby league needs to bring through more homegrown coaches if the game is to succeed

Guess we need to have a $h!t season then

The fact he has been given a squad number has thrown me slightly, but I was told last week that Bowden had negotiated his release and had signed elsewhere. Could have fallen through I guess.

On Bowden - who really cares/ give him number 99 - like a Flake

With regards to Bowden he needs to put himself in the shop window to get a contract somewhere and he can only do that by performing and the same with Johnstone.

With the incentive there for both players for their own future in SL it must surely help them up their game on a personal level which can only be a benefit for the club too. I remember the best performances from Bowden and Green was when their contracts were up at the end of that particular season and they had to earn a new deal.
