Houghton does nothing except tackle

It wont be until he leaves/retires we will realise how much he held back our attack

100k a year to tackle



My point is yes mitch has done OK but that's the reason we keep going backwards if we're replacing players with players not as good

On the wing... He hasn't played on the wing in his 9 years as a pro

You play James Roby at scrum half he wouldn't be as good played out of position

Connor is a great player at times but hasn't done it in the biggest games that semi final a prime example we was right in it till that moment

2005 no one remembers or cares how we did against leigh Huddersfield and Wakefield..... It was against saints and Leeds what mattered

Shaul has done it the biggest games he scored the winning try in 2016 he was one of our best players in the 2017 semi against Leeds

It's 2022. You don't select someone because he was one of our best players in a game five years ago.

His attitude particularly defensively was very questionable during Radfords last season, we then have a new coach in Hodgson who's decided he's not our number 1 fullback.

He has a very limited game, as did Sneyd and as does Houghton, Hodgson is evolving our style of play with players with a well rounded range of skills in the key positions.

Shaul will be a victim of his limited abilities and salary, and rightly so. He l be released end of the season and the wage invested to better effect.

Talent boy would, totally clueless, I honestly can't remember Shauls last really good game.

100K a year for Houghton is way out you living a your own world.

I’ve said this before but I honestly think that ‘tackle’ at Fev was the turning point.

I remember seeing that at the time and wincing. Didn't the ref just pass it off as an "early tackle"? Did it even get Shaul a penalty (or was it a penalty, but no other sanction?) As a contrast, just imagine if that tackle had happened in the first few games of this season!

Jamie has been a brilliant player for the club and secured the 2016 win at Wembley, which is to this day the greatest day of my life, every Hull fan will be forever grateful for the memories he's provided for us all.

BUT, this is the nature of sport, players come and go. And unfortunately for him, taking into consideration his salary, it would be right for us to let him go come the end of the season. He isn't going to get ahead of Connor at FB, and I don't see him as a hooker nor a winger. It would be a shame for him to spend the rest of his career playing in the reserves on a much lower contract, he deserves more than that.

It's a salary cap sport. We can't keep everyone and if we've got kids that can do a job then we have to let players go to free up cap space so we can sign massive props to squash the opposition.

I'm intrigued

I think we l let Mau and Reynolds go.
Where would we use the 2 quota spots?
Do we move Lane to second row and bring in a loose forward.
Do we keep Lane at loose forward and bring in a second row.
Do we keep Gale
Do we sign an overseas half back to replace Gale.

Taking into account most think we've signed Trueman to replace Reynolds

Options options with some good cap to play around with
