If it's true they've offered £50,000 I'd bite their hands off! Not missed him since he's been out, and he's a good, if not outstanding 2nd rower. Only thing we'll miss is his goalkicking - not been impressed with Holdsworth's this season and I'm not sure Crooks will be playing every game. Also Westerman is pretty average at it. Am I missing anyone? Heremaia?

If Tickle isn't wanting to sign a contract extension then it would make more sense to sell him now and get some money for him than allow him to go for free at the end of next year.

He's a great player, been one of our better players over the last year and is one of the best kickers in the league. He is also a current England international. If we were to sell him then the fee must be relevant to all of these points.

We would also have to have a replacement signed up, too, hopefully someone along the lines of Whitehead or Bateman.

For me if £50K is the figure Widnes have offered I'd also tell them to do one as Tickle is one of our better and most consistent players. £50K in the grand scheme of things is not alot of money and honestly if it were my money I would rather see Tickle play here next season and go for free than accept a pittance fee and struggle to find a suitable replacement.

I think Widnes are trying it on a little with an offer like that, if they want him out of his contract then they have to pay a fair fee which £50K isn't.

As much as i like him I'm not too bothered he's going. If he doesn't want to be here so be it. If we can get 100k then we've done well.

kicking apart he is decidedly avarage, if he could not kick he would not even be mentioned.

Not missed him at all whilst we have Foster but we will struggle when he goes back to Saints if we dont sign an 80% plus kicker

Utter rubbish.

agreed, has been outstanding this year.

If we weren't used to Manu everyone would be singing his praises

What a load of cack.

Well, I've read some sh*t in my time, but this beats all.

Thats why he played for England against the Exiles and why Widens are prepared to pay a fee for him

Danny Tickle is decidedly average? Oh dear lord .....

next he'll be saying Turner will be a big loss

And Ben Cockayne should be the England full-back ahead of Sam Tomkins .....

Strikes me that Carney was right when he said that Hull's game plan is usually 'give to Manu and see if he can do something'.

That guy has carried Hull on his back, more so that Tickle, just hope someone else steps up to the plate for next year!

Did nowt tonight. Ellis is better.

you can say that about tomkins and wigan, roby at saints, even burrow at leeds (last seasons gf for example)

He's already gone. They're just softening the blow. It will be announced when we rollout the mooted 6 new signings next month.

Tickle doesnt want to stay or he'd have ended speculation months ago with an "I'm happy here and playing the best footy of my career" interview.

Seemingly was non-committal when speaking to one of our fans at the game, but given all the palaver over the embargo on announcements, he may just be being cautious and not wanting to be quoted, or indeed we may have baulked at the supposed £100k fee we were quoted.

It's three months since Hull opened talks with Tickle over a contract extension. It's pretty clear that he sees his future away from the club.

Let him go and we'll take a decent fee.

Agreed. I think there are better players around. His goalkicking will be missed until our new halfback is announced

One of our speccies was talking to him but he wouldn't give much away.

Another rumour is that Hull are looking for more than the £100k that Widnes have offered so who knows what rumour is true!

I assume you posted this after 8 cans of Tennants Super?

To describe Danny Tickle as "decidedly average" is embarrassing yourself to the extreme.

Other than Westwood and Hock, I doubt there is a better English second rower in SL.

Holdsworth isn't a very good goal kicker at all mate

Agreed. Badly missed Danny last night.

You can always keep Foster.

I don't think Saints will object.

A bonus would be that he could be appointed team barber.
