Was what I was told last night.
On that basis, we will be paying some off or helping them find new clubs

Motu
Radford
G Horne
Thackray
King
Thorman
Lee
Maloney
Hall
Moa

Realistically would that be a bad thing?
I always liked G Horne, but I think he is not up to making a position his own
Sam Moa would keep, visa dependent though?
Maloney, Hall and Lee. Disappointed to lose youngsters but its clear we have to ship some out, so what would peoples thoughts be if this is indeed the 9 to ship out?

Motu
Thorman
G Horne
Maloney
King
Thacks
Tickle
Hall
Houghton going out on loan

Thats 10. Would keep moa and maloney, the others have all had there chances.

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?

Disagree only on that point. Relatively cheap, can cover 7,9,11,12,13. Not fantastic but has shown a brilliant attitude to come back and deliver adequately as a squad player at this level when he was subject to massive criticism last year. I'm guessing he's being offered more cash elsewhere, in which case good luck to him, but it looks like we're going with a smaller better quality squad next season and I think Lee's versatility and attitude would bring something to the party.
