Remember that rumour not so long ago that we'd offered a contract to Ben Ross of Souths?
Could tie in with this if true. I think I would rather have Lynch, despite his age.

Wouldn't blame Lynchy for going TBH. We don't look likely to challenge for any trophies and Hull are back on the up compared to recent years. He's not won anything (ignoring the 2005 GF as he didn't play), so he may want to end his career with a punt at a final at the very least.

As others have stated, he's possibly looking for a 2/3 year deal next time round. I think the only reason he would stay with us is that he'd be possibly eligible for a testimonial if his next contract was long enough.

He takes a lot of unwarranted stick too. He has been made captain, and he cannot be faulted for lack of effort. OK, he doesn't come across as a natural leader vocally, but he leads by example, its just a shame most of the squad don't follow his effort.

Was that a rumour or people saying they wanted to sign him?

If we can find a quality hard hitting prop then id let him go. hes a plodder of the highest order.

I'd have him at Saints in a heartbeat.

The only prop to make more metres this season (so far) is James Graham. Andy is 4th on metres made out of the entire league, with only Roby, Sam Tomkins and Graham above him.
We would have to find one hell of a replacement in order to avoid releasing such a 'plodder' becoming anything but a disaster.

Im not really bothered wot his stats say. he prob spends more time on the field than other props.

not to forget his stupid offloads and penalties. its about time started knocking people over.

I'd have him at Leeds very happily. Notwithstanding that 80% of our 2012 squad already seems to be prop forwards...

...don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got till it's gone...

seems a good day for fishing............

I for one don't miss McNamara

It was a rumour doing the rounds on the Souths' boards.

You pave paradise and put up a parking lot?
