think its the other way around we went back to him and ofered a 3 year deal but less money but he had already agreed the saints deal ,if we would have put that deal to him in the 1st place he would be our player total up by bomber simple , hes gutted to be leaving now aswel as i said my only negative of the season

lets hope its another triester/swain situation with ellis next season, manu is going and we have to fill a huge hole in our attack, if we manage to do this, it could be a case of manu who?

I had three things, Top 6, win a playoff game and beat Leeds.

I am very happy how its gone, if we lose next week then I am still happy for this season.

Think we have a good chance next week with how the defense is going right now.

As long as they give it a real go next week then I will be happy with how the season has gone.

Improvements on and off the field have been massive this year.

All in all:

Reasonable league finish
Competed against all big teams apart from Wigan
Derby dominance
Occasional excellent performance
A play off victory

Just no cup run!

Pretty happy with where we are and more importantly with where we are going......

Go slap your friend. He signed a 2 year deal at Saints.

Agreed, and more to come by all accounts.

I predicted 6th and also wanted a playoff win and to see some youngsters being brought through. All boxes ticked so it's been a good season.

I hope so,

There is a good chance we could have Lineham, Crooks, Briscoe, Yeaman as our backline and all players to come through our youth system (or at least played under 20's).

Have heard very good things about Ryan Wilson who has just gone FT, good rugby family with his uncle being Rob Wilson and his two cousins both on Hull's books, the youngster Harry being very well thought of.

The under 16's has some outstanding talent, so if we can get a couple of players coming through in the next couple of year until these 16's are ready, it looks a very exciting future for Hull.

Anyone else have any names of players in the academy to look out for?

My expectations were similar to most - 6th place finish and a play off win the main two with a decent cup win being a nice addition (although that's always down to the draw). Happy to call the season a success and anything from now on is a real bonus.

Said 6th and a play off win.

5th and 2 play off wins, im underwhelmed

Is Harry back from Australia yet ?

I haven't heard anything about him for a while and how he went in Oz.

Harry came home last weekend, had a great time out there more lads going next year
