So if it DJ that wants to leave, fair enough, if hr doesn't want to be here then we should let him go and look for a replacement (not Witt though).
It seems that a few people were a bit quick to criticize AP early in this thread.

| Quote: Jake the Peg "The wording is interesting. Seems to indicate that he isn't happy with things for some reason. Hasn't he settled in the area? (Does he even live in the area?) Does he want to be back in Oz? Doesn't he get on with others at the club?'"
Not that interesting.
He wants out so we'll have to accomodate that.
Gentle thought he was integral to his team.
He was the wrong signing and a lot to do with why our ex-coach is now on the other side of the world. |

I think he probably isn't "settled" because he knows we probably want rid. His agent will want to be "selling" a player who's moving because of "personal reasons" rather than because his club think he's not up to it whilst at the same time financially it may be best for him to get paid off. Makes it a sensitive time for his agent I guess so we're unlikely to get the truth until after the event if ever. It does look like he's on his way though.

| I bet Gaz Ellis is shaking his head thinking how the fook did I opt for Hull when I could have gone anywhere else in Super League. 
Gotta laugh otherwise we'd cry. |

We'll be ok.
Where would we be without a bit of adversity.
Onwards and upwards. |

| Quote: Panther "I rate DJ and his kicking game at times last season was outstanding. That 40/20 at millenium magic sticks long in the memory. But I think we need someone with that air of unpredictability about him who is able to stick his head through the line and try things. Rangi Chase is no longer an option so I would be happy with Sammut. He really impressed me with some of his off the cuff plays and tries last year. With Bulls financial problems not exactly looking solved I would offer cash plus DJ. Sammut at 6 and a developing Miller at 7 with Horne as back up. I would take that.'"
If you're looking for consistency then Sammut is definitely not the man for the job. He will provide a lot of entertainment and moments of brilliance but that will be scattered amid a whole lot of poor displays. I like the guy but reckon he can be infuriating too. |

[quote="The Reason":3e09qe5x]Hi Andy
The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

So who would you see as a realistic option for us at stand off if Holdsworth departs? Based on who would realistically want to join FC or whose club may well welcome the cash we can offer?
Funny how a few months changes everything at FC. I'm sure I wouldn't have been the only one on here in conversation with a friend on the way to the semi final against Wire saying 'all our hopes rest on DJ today and it's massive he's fit'.

I honestly think Holdsworth was the best option on the table, he needs another year with Miller, settled and behind a decent performing pack. Not sure thats an option now as he looks to be outward bound. I don't think it was any surprise that when the pack played well he looked good. Miller needed to offer more options, and act as a foil for Holdsworth, but the biggest gap was the lack of an attacking coach and a ball playing full back who can hit the line and ask questions.
Just my views as someone who has only seen the tv games.

I think he needs another year so agree, but he does appear to want out.........
TBH I was never a big fan of his. |
