Shannon's a class fullback but clearly McRae overpaid again. Shaul will be on half his wage. Plus we have Rankin, Talanoa, Horne and even Lord Whiting of Anlaby who can play there adequately.

Thompson next?

What's the betting that as soon as we release McDonnell and Shaul becomes officially first choice full back he'll be wanting an improved contract?

He doesn't live in Anlaby does he?

I rated him but he's just not getting the game time and Shaul is for sure the man to do the job.

Yes been injured the last 6 months so not getting much game time, how would he.

Then we don't really need to be paying for an invalid do we
Shaul has proved himself by stepping up to the mark.
As I said, I rated him, but Shaul can do as gooda job.

Therefore can save on not having to pay him as one of the 5 big earners in the squad!

I think this is a shame for McDonnell but the right move for FC. McDonnell was a good player for us before his injury last year so he's not done anything wrong. But we have Shaul and I think he has bags of potential so want to see him getting the game time to fulfill that potential. And if McDonnell is on big wages as some suggest then it's a lot of wages to be sat on the sidelines that we could maybe use elsewhere.

If we do release him I wish him all the best and hope he finds another club soon.

Totally agree doc

Saving a try IIRC. Or at least trying to.

Some of our fans make me cringe nowadays.

Couldn't agree more!

Not so much fans as critics many of them.

Not about being supportive or not, it's life and it's what's for the best.

I wish him all the best.

Just because he's been injured, doesn't mean I have support a sympathetic view point and keep him at Hull FC.
He's reckoned to be on a decent wack of wages, so he really isn't a viable business option is he? Shaul is....FACT.
So do pop those bottom lips away now
