Agree 100%, not too bothered at all. If Arundel does come I actually think he's a better player than Turner was at the same age with at least as much potential. In a year's time I doubt there'll be threads bemoaning the loss.

At least. Cases for Hardaker and Bridge as well.

Thought Jordan may have given it a shot under the new Coach & owner but maybe we are paying for the failings of the previous seasons? If he doesn't want to be at Hull then no point having him here, have to say though I didn't realise they'd moved Oldham & it was so far away from Hull.

This club needs players that are committed and want to be here. Cynical side of me wonders if Jordan has improved under Gentle or was he out to impress his new club?

It's disappointing but ain't going to be the end of the world as for too long we have been average and in need of a serious turf out. We have cap space and time available to build with for next season & an owner & Coach who want to bring success not just scrape into the 8.

In AP, PG & SM we trust

I don't buy all this 'wanting to be closer to family' crap.

Hull is hardly the other side of the world from Oldham and being a professional rugby league player is hardly a nine to five job. He could always move to the West Riding and be an hour away from both Hull and Lancashire.

Why not just be honest and say it's for the money.

Defo, if we had Bridge and Yeaman in our side Turner wouldn't get a sniff. Shame but life goes on and I'd be happy with Arundel and Yeamo with Crookes pushing for a spot.

Totally agree with this, all we want from any player is to give their all whilst they're with us, suggestions that we should drop Turner in favour of Crooks are just barking! Firstly how is it fair to the player, secondly it undermines confidence/trust in the playing staff, thirdly it damages us for this season.

I would be happy for Crooks to play against some of the lesser teams like Wakey & Widnes or if there is an injury but dropping Turner for him having the temerity to sign for another team is beyond reasoning! If the rumours are correct and we sign Arundel then where would Crooks be playing next season anyway, he certainly wouldn't be getting a bench spot if our main centres are fit?

Good luck to him and hope he continues the form he's shown so far.

Oh and Oldham is 90 miles away so asking him to drive over for each game/training session is no small thing, don't know if the club were paying him extra to cover that but that's £70 a week in fuel alone never mind how tiring it can be. Think people need to respect his decision, it's not like he's fooked us over half way through the season 'cos it's a bit chilly

I kind of had an inclin after Longy tweeted him asking him if he needed a house up there. Player mind games unsure.

He's not irreplaceable nor is he one of the best in the league. More than happy for him to leave crooks will overcome him and be a far better player - fact.

But the team at current alike Kosh has said needs to be picked on form. Ben is still young carry on to give him the game time we intended too I am sure we can't do much wrong.

Was led to believe Shenton was returning to Cas > Turner to Saints > Arundel to FC

Now kind of looks that way too.

We should drop him, as well as Manu, Moa, Martin and O'Meley, and possibly Briscoe (we don't know if he's staying yet do might as well cut him loose now). Signing Russell on loan was a bad idea as well.

Then, when we're getting bummed every week, maybe people would stop saying these silly things in a selective manner.

In which games, certainly not against the top teams (scored a good try against Saints, but that was it,).

Looks great against the likes of Rovers and Cas, but still hasn't proved he is good enough for a team that wants to be competing for trophies.

I'd have Atkins, Watkins, Bridge, Wardle, Cudjoe, Hardraker and Goulding on this seasons form over him.

Yeaman, Arundal and Crooks cover his loss.

No a great loss as it stands, he may go on to prove me wrong however.

And probably his potential has been brought on by the current set up and PGs all round better coaching. Its disappointing but not the end of the world. I think it is now important to bring in Crooks as one of our first choice threequarters and let him get invaluable experience this season to set him up for the future, and become a cracking player for years to come.

And to add he (and Manu) should play as long as their form warrants it, which is does at the moment.

Why on earth any-one would want to drop players just because they choose to leave at the end of the season beggars belief it really does..

Gentle is blooding youngsters as he see's fit, let us just leave him to his choices and go with whatever he considers is the best team to win.

I get where you are coming from but the only difference I can see maybe happening is that Crooks could come into the squad for the 'easier' games which if Turner was staying I doubt would be considered.

Well, if he can't bear to live a couple of hours away from his family, its a good job he will never be good enough to play in the NRL!

Sorry to see him go, not the end of the world though, and I wish him well.

Disappointing but no surprise. Will be a big loss as he has improved massively this year. Expect him to be pushing for an England spot in the next year or 2. Much better player than ryan atkins
