Why O'Why do they always pick on RL, not long ago we missed on Crocker for a driving offence, but in other sports rapists, thieves and violence offences don't count.
Just weird to me.

This is an RFL decision, not immigration afaik

In addition to Washy (one year), new deals agreed with Talanoa (one year) and Thompson (two years). http://www.hullfc.com/news/2017-06-14-hull-trio-sign-new-deals

Micahels needs to go for me and use his quota spot for a back rower.

Re: Recruitment and retention : Wed Jun 14, 2017 5:56 pm  

In attack JT can be awesome with his quick feet and being fairly agile for a forward, although in defence the majority of the time he can be a liability. Often goes in looking for a big hit which rarely comes off or finds himself flat footed and then attempting to shirt grab. Get this out of him and he could be twice th player he is now.

As a whole, three renewals are very good news and keeps a close knit group together.

Pleased for all there, Washy and Talanoa really deserve their deals, as well documented not convinced by Thompson, his performance haven't been great the last two seasons and I hope we don't regret this move in a tight cap. Got to have faith in Radford and his recruitment and I hope he proves me wrong.

Re: Recruitment and retention : Wed Jun 14, 2017 7:22 pm  

We also have a French under 23 players on trial, think he will play in the reserves on Saturday

You make it sound harsh, but I agree, been a quality signing but, need a quality signing next year, who will probably fill a quota spot

Of course I haven't unless you are telling me all of Radfords signings have been the right decision.

Just because a player gets a new deal it doesn't make int the right decision, it depends on how he does or who else we recruit.
