| Quote knocker norton="knocker norton"Berrigans form at the start of the 2009 season was excellent in fact I would say the moment he went down injured in the win away at the Bulls in that year is the moment Berrigans form(and fitness) seemed to dive.
In 2008 he was better then people are giving him credit for IMO. He was often our shining light in a whole host of positions in a team decimated by injuries in particular to its scrum half and go forward prop (Carvell).
That said this year he has not reached the heights expected for whatever reason and I can understand some peoples frustration given his previous status in world RL.'"
Very true Knocker but it's probably more about his salary and quota spot that we could do a hell of a lot more with.

I'd go with that and then use the money on a 6 or 7.

I was just going to type a similar response. I'm with you on this - particularly the first two paragraphs.

your joking hes a union star now  to come back to league he would want mega bucks, i would hardly call him a great league player either  . rather get a young championship halfback or id like us to try and entise someone like mcnally to come to hull with a promise of been given a starting role once longy retires.

| Quote Jake the Peg="Jake the Peg"Why is it? It's a reasonable strategy to let a player who is suffering some personal issues to move back to his own country whilst allowing us to use the money to strengthen a more important area of the team.

Because he's contracted.
Your using the exchange rate as a example on how to get rid but what about another overseas player? Half backs are in short supply over here as well, you won't get anyone cheep.

| Quote thehullwhitestar="thehullwhitestar"Correct !!
We've had three seasons of less than marquee quality from Berrigan and this has been massively highlighted by the arrival of two REAL quality marquee signings from Oz. The length of his contract is now really proving to be a mistake by the club and hampering our ability to take our squad further forwards.
To call it "nonsense" is more than pathetic but at least the spelling was correct for a change. WELL DONE !'"
Cheers

| I like berrigan,I rate Berrigan I.m glad Berrigan is staying.Before injury this year he was hitting good form,got injured and on return is having to cover positions that are not natural to him.
First year he was here How dire would we have been without him in the team.
Always a mission impossible to follow in the footsteps of King Richard and the run of injuries since he has been here is well documented.
Everyone states how much danny Houghton has progressed,could be that Berrigan could also have some influence on this point.
Seems the views on Berrigan are Polarised between love and hate,I think he is an asset to the team,I think people should be looking at the likes of Horney as savings on cap,because lets be honest ,and keep sentimentality out of this,He has been WELL below par even before the injuries and illness diagnosis.Berrigan has contributed a lot more to the FC cause in the last three years than Horney has.

Doesn't look like that to me, but rant about Horney does.
Horne's salary would not save as much as you think as about half of his salary doesn't count on the cap.

Really? Let's take a look at that claim, shall we?
In 2006 he got the club record for tries scored in consecutive games during our run to the GF.
In 2007 he had to play the majority of the season with no halfback partner. In the games where we had a Scrum Half he played well.
In 2008 he played just 3 games due to his neck injury. It was while injured that his diabetes was diagnosed.
Nope. Can't see any evidence there myself.

| going back to the Berro thing, IMO if he has had some injuries and also personal issues then the off season should really help him
but for next season, when it sounds like he'll definately play for us, he will be in his last year and will no doubt want to impress to get a contract in australia. players who are OOC normally play out of their skin to get in the shop window
also he'll be in a more settled squad, less weight on his shoulders compared to recent seasons and i hope we see the best of him. i thought at the beginning of this season that he would be awesome but for whatever reason(s) he has been hampered
i think the negativity on berro is a little short-sighted because sometimes, signings just don't always work out like the fans want them to - look at football and some players who turn up with massive reputations and are flops. berro is no "flop" IMO, just had bad luck within our squad, but he has always tried hard IMO....and look at houghton - i think i would give credit to berro for houghtons quality this season
