I can see Robinson wanting out of Hudds, although their fans seemed to think that he signed his new deal knowing that Brough would be joining. Why though would he want to join Hull, who already have Long? He's good enough to get the 7 shirt somewhere in SL. As you say, time will tell.

Hooker?

Interchanging with Houghton, with Berrigan in the centres would look good to me. Not that I've seen a lot of Berrigan at centre.

It'd give you natural cover at 7 and you'd still have plenty of backrowers. It'd be a bit of a departure, but quite a coup.

The only reason I could see him moving is to play 7. He can stay at Hudds and be a hooker. Maybe a Robinson/Long partnership with Horne in the centre?

Why?

A very good point. The last thing we need is a player leaving us hanging on until later in the year before turning down a contract and leaving us struggling to find a replacement.

Agree with the majority - I'd like all three to stay, if Tickle goes it's a blow but not a disaster.

We should set a deadline date, and then move on.

Agree.....will be a big blow if Tickle leaves....put it this way..if Tickle and Fitz go...we will need to recriut a kicker and Hll is OOC as well.

With Agar saying we have offered Tickle a very good contract maybe suggests he doesnt expect him to stay. That said I agree about the need to know either way as soon as possible because teams are clearly actively recruiting now and good players will soon get snapped up.

When not if

The soundbites were quite positive only a few weeks ago aswell.
