Quote: Riderofthepalehorse "I’m going to have to disagree with the decision to keep Mini & Sika for a further year, I know how good they have been, and what fantastic players and role models they both are, probably on reflection the best pair of second rows to have played together in a Hull shirt for me.
But maybe this decision has been made because there is at present no adequate replacements for these two greats, in my humble opinion, without prejudice, I feel Sika and Mini have already given everything for us, there is a fine line to replace players, hope I’m wrong and they go another year, sorry to go against the majority of our fine black & white posters.'"
I agree, both have done well, but injured too often. We may as well bring Ellis out of retirement.
Quota spots and a chunk of salary on both, as you say, can't have been other options. If we give Washbrook another year as well then a lot of fans will seriously consider a season pass.
But, like you, I hope to be proven wrong.
