Quote: BIGAL1 "

Kev King is a good example of a decent player that didn't quite hit the hights of Super League and is enjoying playing at a lower level. He's going in the wrong direction to pick up a SL contract. It's not that he is bad, just that he has been tried and clubs are more likely to go for the untried to see what they can make.

Not all lower league players are lower standard than Super League though. Going to wrong club early on or maturity, or even just having a job you want to keep and play part time can keep you out of Super League.
Well worth looking there to pick up a player, it's just hard to find.

Some players that just have a bit of pace look great in the lower league but when you put them against equally fast players in SL you realise they haven't got anything else.

And thinking of pace, one player I was thinking about was Paul White. Salford are letting him go. I haven't always rated him but he improved drastically under Kear. Think he's been injured but he would be good cover for our great (but injury prone) wingers.

Kev was going really at batley in NFP1 but had to give up the pro game because of work commitments... not because he was a bad player.

Agree on the Paul White comment...excellent player to have when kicking on the 5th, he would be first there when chasing it down..

Quote: newgroundb4cas "Couple of players have caught my eye who have been released 2 inparticular. Kyle Bibb looks a uncertain prospect at best and hopefully Scully is going but nothing has actually been mentioned on the Scully front. Thackray is 1 player I know he isn't the sharpest knife in the draw but i'd say he has been the pick of Hulls forwards this year and he runs hard. Boyle from Cas ive rated this kid I think this lad will develop into a good forward I know Barry Mac rates him high maybe Kear could make him into something as we know Matterson is in capable of doing so. Sureley both will do a job and they maybe a step up from Bibey not faulting Bibey because he did well this season .What do you think surely 1 is worth a punt? No insults please !
Believe me, Thackray has been far, far from being the pick of Hull's forwards this year. And that's saying something when you consider the poor form the majority of the side have shown this year.

Well i now JK can work wonders but this guys not for me, if he can't stand out in a poor Hull pack (no disrespect) then he's going to struggle in SL full stop.

But who knows.

The difference may be the price tag, i would imagine we picked Rickey up on a low wage but i doubt Jamie would come for the same.

Anythings possible though, and for a while now i've been a fan of JT but i don't think he's hungry for it anymore.

If no one else wants Thacks then he won't have a high asking price. Although, if he comes and plays well, other teams will come sniffing and suddenly his wage demand will go up. I'm guessing this is what has happend with the likes of Snitch / Wilkes

I reckon we could get a very good year out of him working under Kear.

On a similar note, I know it won't happen but i'd like to see what Kear and Broadbent could do with Stuart Fielden. I think they could get him firing again.

'That is why no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party.... So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin':23909.gif

strange one thackray. there was a time when he was really effective coming off the bench and most teams would have been glad to have him in their pack.

if his stock has fallen so low he is struggling for a SL club and his price has fallen in a similar fashion then maybe he's worth a punt?
