I reckon the clubs recruitment might have stalled to see what happens with Clifford, if out for a while we have to bring in another halfback

| Quote scarrie="scarrie"Quote scarrie="Steve0"Ewan Dowes was probably a similar type of player, did lots of work but was smaller than a lot of our props but didn't look out of place due to the quality and size of player around him at the time, King, Carvell, Thackeray, Manu, Kearney, mcmenemy, J smith etc, whereas now we rely on fash to be one of the leaders of our pack, which is a problem, and he has smaller players around him too in Lane and Cator who provide little go forward'"
Indeed. The presence of players like Fash and Cator isn't, in of itself, a problem imo. It's the fact that the players signed as metre makers aren't actually making many metres. Now if Fash or Cator have to make way to reshape the squad then so be it but I do think they have value in a correctly balanced squad.'"
Exactly players like Fash aren't meant to be the ones that make you big metres they are the ones that back up behind the so called big front rowers. Yet ours are so poor at making any real impact or go forward that player like Fash are unfairly criticised for lack of size etc. When you look at our squad currently we have gone from one of the biggest in 2016 to what must be one of the smallest in 2023 and not just talking in the front row.
A couple of genuine big metre makers in the front row and at least one SR similar to the likes of Sika/Mau would make a big difference. |

Is Staveley out of contract this year?
His Dad has just tweeted "Roll on May 1st" - wonder if he hasn't been offered a contract, or a shocking deal

Going off our past record it is probably the latter |

Wouldn't suprise me, hopefully something else. |

Staveley came from Warrington along with Balmforth I think, one of Pete Ridings signings.
Given he keeps getting touted for a 1st team call up you'd think we'd be looking to keep him. Although wouldn't surprise me if a lot of the younger players have been told they'll have to wait on contracts due to all the upheaval in the 1st team squad.
Maybe he and his family think they can get a better deal and/or security elsewhere.
Or he might just be going on holiday  |

Hull Live a while back said
Quote Irregs#16The club announced first-team contracts for Matty Laidlaw, Harvey Barron, Will Gardiner, Lewis Martin and Manoa Wacokecoke back in November but didn't release the lengths of the deals. No details have been made public on Nick Staveley either, who received a first-team jersey this year.'"
His dad's tweet sounds ominous. I note that he follows Salford and Ian Blease. |

It looks like Nick Staveley has a few brothers that play at other academies?
Could it not be in reference to them?

It could be but everyone is, understandably, in a pretty negative frame of mind atm thus it must be bad for FC. |

 True and were clutching at straws 
I just started following his dad and he immediately followed me back knowing I’m an FC fan.
That is a good sign?  |

We need to get Stavely in the team, there's only one way we'll find out if he's good enough. He's been impressive at Newcastle by all accounts, plays good minutes and he's got some size, let's face it he can't do any worse than lane at the minute.
