Under contract, so needs a big season when he is back and start of next season to try and get a new one



The days that the likes of Shaul, Houghton and Taylor get automatic new deals should be long gone

I'm fairly confident that, bearing the financial news we've just had, Adam will be having serious conversations with BH about the need to trim our playing budget. As Dave says, the days of rewarding longevity should be behind us. They lads coming through the academy are showing their worth and I would sooner see them rewarded than someone who has been a good servant but who's course has now run.

Have you noticed also that we are not kicking to force any goal line drop outs lately

To be fair, I can count the number of play the balls we had in Wigan's 20m on one hand, so were never close enough to even try it (Gale's shocking kick excluded)

Cant see any sentimental decisions this time around either as a player or job in the backroom staff because you are a Hull boy

i have only seen Wynne at full back once, - against Wigan a couple of seasons ago

absolutely useless. dropped every bomb. fumbled the ball under no pressure, missed tackles.- - -

Don't Know why Shaul gets so much flack on here, & Taylor doesn't.

Last season both suffered long term injuries, Taylor came back like a tub of lard,& played like one.

Shaul was nowhere near his best,but came back in good nick. A great front on tackle against Rovers

& a superb ball & all tackle on a flying Leeds centre?

Connor s defence & lack of pace are a worry, but i do have faith in Hodgson.

I just hope Wynne isn't our back up fullback.

We seem to have a glut of centres atmo & i'm pretty sure Carlos was playing at full back/No6

when at Newcastle. Might be an option when Connor is injured/suspended if Mitch keeps

playing well.

I made this point in the accounts thread but it seems to of been hijacked by Hull and rovers with petty squabbles il make it again here.



We have some big earners out of contract at the end of the season, probably totalling 400-600k in cap at a guess.



We also have some players that for the wage they earn, i don't think would be a big loss and could be replaced by academy products.



If its true about Trueman hel be our obvious Reynolds replacement.



Reynolds..... Trueman

Mau..... We have Savelio, Lane and also Severs coming through.

Houghton...... Lovodua/Balmforth

Shaul...... Litten/Wynne

Bowden..... Brown/Burrell

Johnstone.... Cator/Staveley



Alot to be saved on Mau, Houghton, Shaul, Bowden and Johnstone.

Are there any Hull FC players you do think are good?

I think he likes Jamie Shaul

What gave you that idea?

I think he is Jamie Shaul.

So single handedly Houghton has held our attack back. Preposterous, we haven’t had an attack to speak of for 5 years. Radford’s 5 drives and a Sneyd kick held it back. We saw glimpses of Hodgson’s attacking style last year but definitely this year and Danny has played a full part. Why have you got such a massive downer on our collective team and and coach. I’d hate to be next to you at a game but you probably don’t attend, there used to be a lot of so called supporters like you at The Boulevard, but at least they paid to criticise. Clueless.
