Deffo have Hodges if he is good enough for Queensland in this years State of Origin ,he is good enough for Hull FC

Haven't Wire just signed Kurt Gidley, will he not be FB for them next year?
Like Justin Hodges, like another poster has put if he's good enough for SOO at 32 then we should have no worries about him. Maybe just a one year deal though?[urlhttp://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/broncos-star-justin-hodges-may-retire-at-seasons-end-will-make-decision-after-origin-iii/story-fni3fqyo-1227395224836[/url

He'd certainly add a bit of niggle to the side.

Inu has just won the french RU 'top 14' final with stade Francais on saturday in a scrappy, ill tempered (AND Tryless) game.
he's only played 5 games this season according to the club website and now won't have another competitive match for 8 months, I really hope he puts in a shed load of off season work or can come train with the first team squad before season end.

I wonder if the club could do a deal with Warrington so that Lineham, moves there now (using Higham wages) and we could bring in Inu now and get him upto speed.

If not Lineham should be in the 13 as he is currently our best winger.

Shaul and Rankin is pretty even (I prefer Shaul personally), so it makes more sense to play Shaul as it won't be helping his confidence and he will be no 1 FB next year.

If anyone wants to actually read my post I've said to play shaul because there is very little between shaul and rankin, both have strengths and both weaknesses but on the basis one is (probably) here next year and will presumably be first choice I'd be playing him now. Doesn't weaken us IMO

agree not a lot between them so its shaul for me, unless rankins stopping and shauls off ?

Got a message from my Brother-in-law (a dobbin) yesterday asking if I heard anything about Shaul going to HKR as that was the rumour going around the ground yesterday. Of course the obligatory "good source" was mentioned. Can't see it but not a lot surprises me any more re FC and coming and goings.

Young , English and kr !!!! That doesn't sound right

He was stood near my mate in the a East Stand yesterday.
Must have got an early flight home .
Nailed on according to them , they took great joy in regaling me with this !!
