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.

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.
