If Kelly stays, will we need to keep Westerman?
I know it’s not like for like but he’s an extra pivot when we already have Sneyd, Connor and Kelly playing that role.
Money might be better spent on a forward with a bit more grunt?

Westy did the 80 yesterday didn't he
He regular does 40ish tackles with 15 to 20 carries..plus barring o loughlin is the only loose of his type,and in SLs top 10 try scorers madly..How much grunt you want? I'd Defo keep. Taylor Bowden 1 maybe 2 in.. I'd probs retain green for some value and masi improving continually with bienek on board too. Plus we'll have savelio who will be used as a 2nd but in times of need can middle up just as well. We're doing fine I'd say
Impact in the 2nd is what I'd like..savelio will be 1..I like the Jones rumour a very very lot. I'd love that and hopefully add Glen or Thompson too

Josh Jones is the new Brett Kimmorley.

I would say that this one is far more likely to happen.

Jones had been rumoured a while but as Leeds desperation grows I imagine their offers will also.

Not really sure why you seem keen to move Westerman on. Arguably our best player this year. We look a much better side with him at 13. Much better attacking shape than when we have another ball carrier there. Would be top of my list to retain.

I'm not, just the way Radford spoke and rumours in the media, I'm expecting him to leave.

Hull city Tigers need new blood for nxt year

It looks like anyone we thought was 50/50 to stay or go, is more likely to go.
Can’t see how they’ll manage the cap otherwise

Leeds were sniffing around Jones according to LE, but could the sacking of Furner slow them down/but recruitment on hold for a short while.

Think Leeds were also after Joel Thompson too due to him working with Furner at the Raiders, could he be back on the market now?

I think westerman may be able to get more elsewhere than at Hull so depends whether he wants to put more in the retirement fund or stay where he knows he enjoys it. Radford is always singing his praises so I'm sure we'd want to keep him if we can
