So Fonua seems to be going but is the general consensus that Talanoa should also be moved on at the end of the season? He's a great player but I think has maybe missed too many games over the last couple of seasons.

If they were both going then I think Michaels would need to be retained as it would leave us with Michaels, Naughton, Rawsthorne, and kinda Griffin as wingers unless we can sign someone (Radford seemed to dismiss the BJB rumours mentioned on here).

must be a brand new strain of crack in Hull.

If Fonua leave, we certainly need to keep one of Michaels or Talanoa.

With first choice centres of Carlos and Connor, with Logan as back up.

Wingers Griffin and Michaels/Talanoa, with Naughton and Rawsthorne as back ups.

Still think that leaves us a back short, would would like another wing or centre, not convinced BJB is the right player.

Spice spice baby.

i've always thought mannering would be a good replacement for ellis - has a very similar work ethic and is a leader. against this it the fact that would be coming from the biggest bunch of under achievers in the nrl, every year the warriors seem to put together a decent squad then rarely make the top 8. when ellis was at the tigers he was instrumental in them punching well above their weight

pity hes signed a new contract with titans,konrad hurrell would have been a perfect replacement for fonua

According to the LE, Wakefield have offered BJB a massive salary to make him one of the highest paid players, I hope that rules us out of signing him.

I see Leigh may be taking Todd Carney on loan which would explain Ridyard going out. Would be a good signing for the 8s. Also Catalans have Inu OOC, would we be interested?

Inu is a good player but to me he appears to miss more games than he plays.

Stats may say different but he is frequently out injured when I watch them on tv.

Justin Carney as a Fonua replacement?

Don't know if its already been mentioned but got a text off a friend saying

"Hiya mate Shaun Kenny Dowalls agent and Justin Carneys both been ringing Radders for a move, he thinks Fonua will go and Ellis will retire. Mini's going to play on. He likes Joe Wardle and he wants to come back from OZ"
Believe it if you wish, the kid that text me it knows Radders (he used to play for East Hull)
