If by letting Fielden go we got Ben Cross and Ennis, then I would let him go no problem.

It would contradict his words after the Leeds game should he move. I think it would be foolish to let Fielden leave after he has regained some consistency in his performances. Plus, with the additions of Hoffman and Lima I would suggest that his performances will continue to improve; in a pack that wont rely so heavily on him and just like the leadership team has taken some of the pressure off Lockers, this might take some of the pressure off Fielden.

Nevertheless he must reflect the value of his pay packet, and if Hull FC are willing to be frivolous in this respect then so be it. We will just have to find an alternative. I would certainly hope that Fielden will stick with Wigan after his comments on Sky Sports.

On a side note, I don't think Hull KR have a "cat in 'ells chance" in their audacious attempt to sign Willie Mason. Why on earth they think that pompous git wants to play at their club is beyond logic.

Speeding fine + 3 points.

He's best mates will Mark O'Meley

Although I rate Ennis highly he does not sound to me the type of player we would be looking to bring to the club. As good as he is he seems to bring some significant bagage with him and we have shown recently we are not interested in that type of player under our current coaches.

Personally I would love to see him at Wigan I love his in your face style.

Don't think we have enough quota spots left for that to happen. IL said at the Hoffman/Lima/Finch press conference that we only have one space left. Roberts leaving might change that though, should that rumour turn out to be true

Would be fine with me. Although hopefully we could keep hold of Fielden, but I feel that if Hoffman can do a job at prop, Mossop/Farrell/Tuson should easily get first team opportunities in the back row that they deserve. Maybe if he can handle it at some point in the season Mossop and Hoffman could swap over?

If Willie Mason fancied coming to Superleague he would probably want to be near his best mate, help him settle in and that.

Neil Holland has signed for Blackpool on a permanent basis.

I don't think Willie Mason will travel half way around the world just to be closer to Mark O'Meley. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ < that's his sole motive.

If Fielden goes, I don't think I'd replace him (contrary to what I said in the last thread!), but that said, I'd rather he stayed.

I certainly don't want to bring another 2 overseas signings accross.

Personally I think that if Fielden left we may see Mossop get promoted to front row before Hoffman. I think Mossop's playing style and skill-set lends itself well to playing prop and Hoffman is a full Aussie international back-rower so I'd prefer to leave him there. Plus Madge, Wane and Bitcon will have a full off-season to bulk mossop up, barring an (unlikely IMO) international call-up. Remember everyone commenting the condition and sheer size of the players coming into this season? I reckon we'll see more of the same this off-season

I would personally like to see more of a role for Ben Davies next season. That could mean one prop moving on, or him moving ahead of Prescott or O'Carroll.

Either way I really wouldn't mind the two of them playing an ambiguous Second Row/Prop role, but I would probably agree that Mossop would be the better prop. How would you lay it out? Personally it doesn't really make sense for Hansen, Tomkins or Hoffman to start on the bench for me.
