cant arfue with that, been well impressdw ith him so far, al;though i recon we could get rid on the basis that his cash has been spent elsewhere already and he might get a 2 year deal somewhere else...

Difficult to say at this point, performances have been consistent across the board.
I think O'Meley is the only one who I think will go for definite, maybe Moa however if he goes I doubt it will be to another SL club.

Agree about Ogre but be sad to see him go , like to see Sharp,turner, manu and moa stay

Re: end of season clear-out??? : Wed Apr 11, 2012 12:21 pm  

I would like to see Sharp, Turner, Manu, Whiting and Aspinwall kept. Moa has done a really really good job for Hull, but I'm sure there will be some big names in OZ looking for a contract in the UK. After the signing of Ellis, I'm sure there will be some players wanting to have a go at Hull FC..
I would like to see a strong mobile prop and another proven halfback to partner Seymour, and if we blood some of the youngsters, which Gentle is keen to do, then we should have a good squad for 2013.

The thing that's uncertain for me is the readiness of our academy players to step up. I don't watch them, but I've been very pleasantly surprised with Bowden's ability to slot in so quickly. That said, I can't remember that he was singled out of the group of young players as the one most ready. On the very limited evidence so far it would seem that he could take Ogre's spot and free up a load of cash. The question is whether this can happen elsewhere in the squad. Will Crooks be ready in a year's time to take Martin's place, for example?

Manu, Sharp and Turner are must keeps IMO. Ideally Moa too, although looks unlikely.

I would add Whiting to that must list as well...

Agreed, with a testimonial too. Bit of a no-brainer IMO.

Re: end of season clear-out??? : Wed Apr 11, 2012 12:39 pm  

I think we will see the back of
Briscoe, Martin, Moa, Omeley, Burnett, Lynne and possibly Horne depending on his wage value
Whiting is an absolute must to keep IMO but think Manu, Sharp will stay but not sure about what people say about turner wanting to go nearer home
