Quote: Fantastic Mr Catpiss "i dont remember them comments at all, i remember him being a shining light in a struggling bradford team circling the plug hole of relegation and financial crisis, and him putting himself about A LOT in games taking on big name players.

Something that longstaff hasn't done.

I said this months ago, i dont get why people have put him on this pedestal, other than he wasn't jack hughes(or latterly oli holmes) on the pitch he hasn't done much to make people sit up and take notice.'"


I remember the concerns of various people that whilst he was a dominant player at Bradford, would he be able to do the same consistently in Superleague. I'm sure the same comments were made when he signed for Canberra.
He was able to prove he could.
Belief and commitment are important attributes for players, many players with the build and skills don't make it whilst others less blessed do. What I have seen of Longstaff at Warrington and now Hull I believe he is well worth the club continuing to invest in him. He provides something different which is important in a squad. You seem to disagree, that's OK.

Quote: morrisseyisawire "Given the average of our pack next season, we should be retaining Longataff.

Send him.out on a season long loan to allow him to develop, but in two years, when Kasiano etc. have cashed the cheques and gone home he should be a lynchpin of the backrow.'"


Longstaff only has 1 season more on his current contract.

Unless we can guarantee him regular 1st team selection, I will surprised if he elects to sign a new contract with us, even if we offer him one.

I too would like to retain Longstaff, but I am beginning to doubt whether we will.

Clearly the club feel Nicholson, Holroyd and Whitehead are better options for one reason or another.

Sounds like Hodgson is keen to bring Longstaff to Hull.

Looking at your backrow options for next season, I can't see Powell selecting Longstaff in from on Currie, Holmes and McGuire. Plus Nicholson etc coming through.

He's probably git a quicker route to first grade here at Hull.

I'd imagine you'd release him from his final year to take up a deal with us. (Hopefully)

Yeah more than likely, it's a really weird one and just screams Powell doesn't like him.

He needs to work on his defence, but I'll be chuffed if we take a punt on him.
