I think Hull are getting a decent team together for next season.

It seems next years props will be Dowes, Cusack, O Meley & Luaki.

I would keep Maloney & Moa (dependant on quota status) as back up for these and ship out King & Thackary as i have a feeling Radford will still be here

Would like to see more of Moa before the end of the season. If he keeps playing like that - get him signed.

Get rid of the gang of 4
Radford
Thackray
Tickle
King
and chuck in Thorman there lies your problem.

Only 1 of them 1 will stay

Lauaki, O'Meley, Moa and Fitzgibbon will give us a tremendous amount of biff for next season with Cusack and Dowes adding to the mix.

Thorman and Long half backs next year then

Would keep Lee. From having loads of hookers, if Houghton goes on loan and we release Lee, we've no cover for Berro.



I really hope Houghton's loan is to the right club. Anyone know if Berro's deal is a straight 4 year one or 3 with an option? If the latter, maybe the plan is for Houghton to get a lot more gametime in 2010 and come back as first choice? Houghton is OOC at the end of 2010 though. Not sure where all this is going.

For the rest, Moa and Maloney need to play every week for the rest of the season to judge them. I do like the way Moa works the crowd though.

Radders at a guess?

Would be disappointed to see Houghton go on loan I want him to play with Berro (3 + 1 option I think). I would release Lee. As for Moa he needs to be given a chance now and looks like he could do it. As you say a character engaging the crowd is a refreshing change. Maloney I like but I'm not sure he is physically big enough for SL prop.

Berrigan is 3 with an option I think, this is what I said on the hooker thread, if they do send him on loan it has to be on the understanding he will be that teams starting hooker, somewhere like cas would be good! Then after a year as a starting 9 he should be in good shape to be ours! Would extend his contract though! Don't want him going somewhere, enjoying it and have him fob us off!
