Not why this is even a debate, if its possible it's a no brainer.'"
we certainlyl need what we call a strike centre who has some pace.
Running with Hardaker and Chamberlain for two seasons is a joke

| We had two strike centres in Griffin and Yeaman and all you need was moan about them.
Pace isn't that important as long as you have players backing up if you make a break, Lafai isn't particularly fast for example, but he breaks at Salford he has someone on his shoulder.

On one hand you've got people saying don't keep Okunbor despite him looking good in a video at Bradford, but then people arguing Pele should be kept because he looks good in a video playing for York.
https://www.thekennel.net.au/forum/inde ... ll.127031/ this thread pretty much says what you need to know about Pele, that there's concerns about his fitness, that he can't do more than 10 mins at a time and he doesn't have the drive to prove himself. Despite people saying that terrible cliche of "there's a player in there somewhere" I'm really not sure there is. Realistically we should be releasing both, the championship is the level for both Okunbor and Pele.

If we could just release them they’d have been gone already. I have no idea what contracts they are on but surprisingly Okunbor had notched up a respectable amount of NRL appearances and with the NRL having a quite substantial minimum wage you’d imagine he’ll be on a decent contract. At very least more than any championship club could likely afford.

| We haven't sent Pele, tindall and okunbor to championship sides because we see them as options for us going forward. All 3 will be gone next year.

I suspect you are right.
Tindall just another Matty Dawson-Jones.

I have to disagree - we have lacked pace and power in the centres. One would be nice but a pacey back line is vital imo for a top rl team I’d say we haven’t really had this for a while

| We need a FAST ELUSIVE RUNNING BEAST of a Centre
How come the city of Hull can’t produce Centres ? It beggars belief
It really does !

| Agree all 3 will be gone.
It beggars belief that ANY quota player would arrive unfit - just basic professionalism.
Both were under pressure for poor form well before they were loaned out. If Pele hasn't got himself in shape yet, or doesn't very very quickly then why would anybody think he will be any better next year ?
Sadly I dont really blame the players - just those who thought they were decent signings. Entire season written off due to these decisions, NOT to mention the cash being spent to cancel contracts.

| If we are after another prop…I’d have a go for Mike Cooper if he doesn’t get a extension at Wigan,I know he is 34/35 and some will say he is injured a lot but he had 1 bad injury at Wigan that was caused by Lees at Sts and he has come back well and he is a leader…I noticed him leading the talking in the huddles yesterday and think he could do a job for us.
