If we lose him, we would to sign two props, one to improve our 17 and a squad player, as it doesnt look like we have anyone in the academy ready to move up.

Maybe that's where the Lewis Peachey rumour has come from.

It would be a shame to lose Fash, he's a handy player to have in the squad and never lets anyone down.

Would anyone consider Bienek returning? Don't think Radders is keen on him but he seems to have all the attributes to be a decent prop. With a potential scenario of Brown replacing Fash in the 17 and Bienek taking Brown's place as a squad player we'd probably be saving a little on the cap too and adding a lot of size to our pack.

Fashy has done great this season, with Taylor, Bowden, Massi mostly absent this kid has carried us when Big Chris or Liggy went off. I wonder if Watson saw this effort once more from Brad against Huddersfield in our win against them with our depleted side.

Though I can’t believe he’s been guaranteed a starting spot, as Huddersfield have Yates, Bruno, English, Wilson, Ikihifo, rumoured to be after Chris Hill, and think McQueen has played prop as well,

If it’s true, then good luck to Fashy in the next stage of his career.

I watched Benny numerous times in the reserves, and always hoped he’d burst onto the scene, but think that ship has sailed now, and the development of Brown and Massi, and possibly Stavelly are the next projects for BH.

Fash has been a workhorse this season and makes very few errors but as a front row i have never seen him break a tackle and he doesnt have an offload in him.We can do better.
Good luck to him if he is moving on.
We need to get Taylor back in action.His injuries are making him a bit of a liability given he is probably one of our high earners.

Hull Daily Mail say sources have conformed that "there is no substance to the speculation and that Fash will not be playing for the Giants next season."

Good news (as long as he stays with us), would be hard to replace in this current market.

Would prefer to keep him. He's proven his worth under Hodgson.

The Hudds pack is already pretty workman like. Yates, Lawrence, English, Wilson plus Fash are all pretty similar 'middles'. Do they need another 'small' forward?

With regards to Fash, I'm not sure the report in the HDM has convinced me either way, I'm not confident Fash will be playing for us next season to be honest.

Makes me wonder if his agent has possibly shopped him around and got him offers elsewhere which are probably more than BH/AP value him at and trying to possibly get Hull to increase any offer made to Fash? If that is the case then I hope the club stick to their guns.

Times are hard and finances are tough for both club and players alike as we have seen with other clubs being outbid for players they are wanting to re sign, its going to be a sign of times to be fair.

I would hope that Hulls offer is a fair one and Fash would rather stay for potential success than go for money but if he did go to another club for more money I certainly wouldn't blame him for that as its a relatively short career.

He has developed in to a solid and reliable player who is now pretty low on both the error and penalty counts but as has been said he is not going to be a forward that breaks the line or busts tackles. He is a workhorse who goes out and does his job well and all teams need players like Fash, it would disappointing should we lose him but not devastating.

why are we offering three other props pay rises, what justifies this in the current financial situation, if higher earning players are demanding pay rises we should call their bluff and let them go, we don't want mercenaries at our club who ignore the bigger picture.
If we lose Fash on that basis and then sign someone else to replace him that would stink. Who are we going to get for same money that does what fash does?
This just smacks of what happened with Chris Green, could have been a decent loose forward or bulked up a bit more and still have some of his pace, was misused by Radford most of the time but still did a decent job for the pay rate, and then when we got rid we had the usual 'we need another prop' comment.
It certainly tells youngsters that we are still a club that would rather sign externally and offload our home grown talent, how many do we have in our run on 13 when everyone is fit, Ans ONE, and that's Houghton. Sure other home grown players are on the bench every week and in the run on 13 but it sends out the wrong signal to younger players IMO if we're giving the bigger earners more but letting our youngsters go (again).

If you dont think Satae deserves a payrise then you havrnt watched him this season,if we dont then we would lose him to another superleague club, that's how it works. The same with Sao and Brown, these would have been a greater loss than Fash and harder to replace.

Releasing Green has been justified, inconsistent and always injured.
