Brilliant news ref the funding - should mean about £400K for the club id imagine

As for players contracts the following are up for renewal with my opinion

Gareth Ellis - retire

Carlos Tuimavave - keep

Albert Kelly - keep unless he wants to go back to Oz

Danny Houghton - keep but on a much reduced deal or leave

Jamie Shaul - leave

Jordan Lane - leave

Kieran Buchanan - keep

Liam Harris - leave

Charlie Graham - leave

Ratu Naulago - keep if he doesnt go to union

Shaul will be offered a new deal but depends on how much he wants,but if he goes,all out for Evalds

Sounds like the RFL will be taking back control of SL.

I assume the government loan is to the rfl, and any loans dished out will be repaid to them and not to the government directly.

People are in cloud cuckoo land if they think new signings are going to be that easy.

Expenditure for the foreseeable future will be set to an absolute minimum for a lot of clubs.

High earners wanting to leave will be music to AP's ears, so to speak.

Im thinking if you look at Houghtons wage as well as Shauls, then ask yourself do we have adequate replacements on a lower wage you could argue yes.

Johnstone has looked the part and was very unlucky to be replaced by Houghton when he came back.

Jake Connor is a very effective fullback, as well as young Connor Wynne

I think sentiment wins out personally and both will be kept

Exactly, people seem to think today’s loan announcement is like winning the lottery!
It may soften the blow of things to come , that’s all . There are still some hard financial times ahead for Hull FC,and the game in general.
This has shown ,how poor financially RL is .
6 weeks without a game , and Clubs are close to folding.
People need to realise how tenuous our situation is .

Re: Contract Talks & FCs Future : Fri May 01, 2020 2:11 pm  

I think all RL players in the future will be earning less .
The bar has been lowered.

Rubbish, most teams nearly go 6 months without a game every season, 12 pages of people flapping without any facts, the government are dishing that much money out, a lot of people will be better off after all this mess, no doubt the rich will get richer! Free money 80% of wages getting payment on the furlough scam, it’s average joe that will be paying for this, for years to come

Apart from 5 months income from season pass sales, sponsorships, shirt sales, etc, you're probably right.
You're the one flapping, I've never heard so much rubbish in one post.

Why have are we all getting our season pass money back? That definitely won’t help, I’ve been buying the merchandise still, and I bet a lot of others have to, it’s common knowledge we don’t make much from drinks food etc, I’m doubting sponsors have asked for money back. Whole lot of flapping with no facts, let’s wait and see without all this wild speculation. Your an idiot, always have been, along with your fellow flapper barista. Let’s wait and see, instead of your constant shiiiite
