Dont know exact amounts but they wasnt offering him what he thought he was worth, last i knew he was holding out for a better deal, next thing i know he has signed for rovers

Here we go again.................

Look its sod all to do with wanting 4 hookers, Tommy has not been offered a contract so that leaves Berro Houghton and Hodgson. Hardly difficult to see that we may need three hookers as we use two in most matches these days. Its sod all to do with his dad being ex FC or being a Hull lad. The fact is this club has of late opted to offer/pay local players a lot less then there Antipidean counterparts.

A young and promising player has left the club because the club has no money to spare to pay him even a half decent wage to live on. I would say the same about the Briscoe brother and they come from West Yorkshire.

My arguement is about talent being released/leaving because of a lack of money, anything else is being injected into the debate by other people. Simple fact is we have a large number of players on large slices of cap and its starting to hurt the fringe players. My worry is that is that we are going for a quick fix next year at the expense of our long term future and that is never a good idea. The squad is going to be smaller then this year and we are thread bare now, my bet is we would have needed Josh next year at some point and an extra 5 or 6 k would have broke the bank then we really are in a bad state.

If true, that's a disgrace. He could earn more than that at mcdonalds. Hopefully this may be a positive of the dobbins being in SL that the club stops taking the pi ss out of the local kids

Didn't hodgson fall into the group of players who are exempt from teh cap due to only playing a small number of 1st team games?

i agree everyone deserves a decent wage ,if we carnt pay a kid what he is worth then good on him for going else where even if its KR ,we should pay some of the top pros at the club by results then there would be plenty of cash for the kids ,put Mr Hull FC R Horne at the top of that long list

looking at the Jordan Turner senario if you had offered Josh Hogdson a deal equal to his current deal Hull could have got a transfer payment for him.
