No great loss the players mentioned

Didnt know this was happening tbh, now I do, I feel the same. How old is maloney out of interest?
Just thinking that players over 20 that are late developers won't get much chance to sign full time for a year to earn a contract.

paul stamp not kept on either

Players that are over 20 can still be signed by the club, but in order to continue their development would have to be sent out on loan. To be honest, they'll develop a lot better at Championship sides than they will in the reserve grade. Much of the reserve grade is a joke of a standard for young aspiring players to be playing in, especially compared to the Australian counterpart.

Whether this works or not will be later seen. I'd like to judge it after rather than before. It seems to be working well in Australia.

Paul Shaw has gone back to West Hull too but has had interest from some Championship sides.

I agree there are a few players who we had playing for our reserves that would struggle to get a game for a National Conference side, let alone stand out.

I know a kid who plays at Donny and said that Donny were playing 3 props on a bench some games and he was hardly getting a game, so he asked to come back or Hull wanted him back.

so where going into next season with just houghton, if berrigan doesn't recover, who can play hooker?

or is Jack Illey getting a full time deal?

Always struggled with his fitness imo. Had some pretty decent impact but lacked an engine.

Kingy can play hooker!

Josh Hodgson ?

just heard josh hodgson is leaving

That rumour's been around for a couple of weeks now. Enough multiple sources to give it some credence as well.

From what ive seen of him thats the right move, doesnt look like he will make the step to first team regular.

You havnt been watching him closely enough then Dave. If only Hull would put him back to hooker he would be a first team regular for you for the next decade and beyond.
Your loss would be our massive gain. (if true).
