Ellis Longstaff : Tue Sep 13, 2022 11:21 am  

Hearing whispers that he will be making the move to us (Hull FC) permanent.
Be delighted if it’s true. He was outstanding for us during his loan spell.

Good luck to him, clearly the club thought Nicholson and Holroyd were the better bet for us going forward.

Hopefully it's something we see more of, as it will show our academy is producing players of quality, SL is hardly awash with our academy products, the key will become knowing which players to retain and which players to allow to continue their career elsewhere, hopefully we've made the correct decision on this one.

Once we signed Nicholson, it seemed inevitable that we would release Longstaff.

Longstaff will develop into a very good player, and I wish him all the best with his future career.

Great engine and heart. If we could only have one of Longstaff and Nicholson however, I think Nicholson has the greater natural talent.

Hope it works out for him at Hull.

We don't need him pal, our second rowers have been magnificent all season.

The lad has been superb. Shown our so called senior players what it means to play with heart, passion and commitment in every game he’s played.
It was no secret that Hodgson wanted to sign him permanently but said it wouldn’t be easy with him still having a year left on his contract but it’s sounding like a deal has been sorted (hopefully)
