Hull offered the same money as rovers , only reason Hadley is leaving is because he wants to be playing most weeks now at his age .Not just coming off the bench for us for 20 min now and again .And that’s from Hadley himself !

As good as Houghton is, I wouldn't call him a one off, we've had better, Swain for example.

Radford says different

Regarding what ? Hadley had no reason to lie to me .

According to Radford HKR offered more money to both players which Hull couldnt or wouldnt match.
Now Radford never lies does he?

No I’m sure he doesn’t , unless it benefits the club . I know who I believe , he could have stayed but wants to play and also get on with and be appreciated by his coach . Which he hasn’t had for a long time !

I don't disagree with you saying Swain was better overall, to be fair Swain was the best hooker in the world. But Swain would occasionally take a breather in a game, Houghton rarely does, which is why he is unique. If you don't need to interchange your 9, in theory we should have more punch coming off the bench.

Bottom line is both Hadley and Litten were offered deals to stay at the club but both decided they wanted a better chance of first team rugby and you can't begrudge them that as it can be a short career.

Unfortunately for Litten he was never going to shift Danny Houghton and as he plays 80mins, Littens chance's where going to be few and far between. As for Hadley again he will be down the pecking order with the new signings coming in and seemingly Ellis playing on next season.

So money aside they just wanted to play regular first team rugby and for me that shows they are decent lads who just want to play. That said our value of both Hadley and Litten would probably be a little lower due to them being seen as fringe players rather than the frontline 17 where as Rovers seemingly see them the other way around due to their roster and circumstances.

Good luck to both of them.

Which lines are those that you can see?

@Chris71 sums it up nicely.

All I read from Hadley, is positive things about Radford, now I know he isn't going to say negative things, but if he had a fall out , I'd doubt he would say some nice things about Radford woild he.

We are losing a lot of home grown players this year

litten
washbrook
jadley
logan?
green
harris?

How many do we have signed up in the squad for next year?
