Hodgson said: “There has been a conversation with Josh and his management from our club. We’re at the stage at the moment where we are in discussions to reach a mutually beneficial deal for both parties so we’ll know more over the next 48 hours I’d imagine in terms of clarity. “I’ve always said that I want to promote from within but that doesn’t mean we won’t look for a replacement though. We would like to bring in someone if they are going to add quality and if they can continue to help us to get to where we want to get to.” https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/brett-hodgson-confirms-josh-reynolds-leave-hull-fc

Good luck to him. No lack of effort, at least in my view, just didn't really cut it on the pitch.

Agreed. It's a great shame that it didn't work out but that's how sport is sometimes. All signings carry a risk. Things didn't go his way, arriving on his own the day that the UK went into lockdown, injured in his second game, picked up Covid then a season ending hamstring injury.

Best wishes to him for the future.

Agreed made an effort on the pitch, just too many injuries, probably should have retired at the end of last season.

Was a gamble that didn't pay off, time to stop making big gambles like this in the future.

Sounds like they have someone lined up, hopefully short term this will give a couple of youngsters some gametime

Sounds to me that we are not in a rush. Especially as we still have youngsters who can play there.

I'd be surprised though if we hadn't at least asked Sam Williams' agent about his terms.

Sad that it has ended this way for Reynolds and the club but no matter how much effort he put in the performances were just not good enough. I think after his knee injury last season in hindsight both he and the club should have called it a day then. Reading the article in the HDM and particularly BH comments towards the end it seems he may be the one that has pulled the trigger for the benefit of the team. Article here

Not seen him play for a while, but seen a few comments to say he could be a similar player to Reynolds.

I'd look for someone longer term or stick with what we have.

This was a “Wire level poor” signing for you guys this one. His last 18 months at Wests Tigers were terrible, with multiple injuries and few good performances. Whoever signed him needs to be sacked and taken on here at the HJ immediately.
