Quote: Mrs Barista "Money possibly? One thing to remember is our cap space will probably be getting eaten up with renewal upgrades as players such as Houghton, Watts and Shaul see their stock increase. There's a scenario here of course where Kelly is grateful to Motu, Radford and Hatton for giving him the opportunity, is enjoying life and settled and we agree an extension, but there's a balance to be had - 4 swallows don't make a summer reliabilitywise so given their form we should probably trust the coaching staff to make the right call.'"


Maybe not but 4 swallows certainly makes your weekend icon_wink.gif . Kelly has shown more in his four games than lots of other half back solutions have in their entire Hull careers (almost at least !).

I know money is always a consideration but that is what I was alluding to with Radders and Motu's nouse WRT contracts. But money isn't everything even if you're earning career is short. Was he on great money at Rovers ? Look how well that worked out.

It wouldn't surprise me if this is Ellis's last season and I don't think Micheals will get another contract. That would free up a chunk of the cap. With Micheals it's not his ability it's the fact that Naughton will be back and hopefully Logan will be fit and back to the form that was rewarded with a starting jersey last season.

As you say we should trust Radford to make the right decision.

Money isn't necessarily an issue if you take into account the marquee player rules.

Depends on finances I guess.

I know what you mean, and like you think we've got good recent form on doing deals. With cap rules being clarified shortly, pre May, and our track record for getting business done early I'd expect us to know either way on Kelly in the next couple of months. For sure there'll be interest - there's such a lack of quality halves generally that it makes it more important than ever to be in the game early.

But you have to pay a player over 175k to make that work, I'm not sure we have any players who will be near that.

I know, but Pritchard was thought to be worth a punt, so who knows.

To be honest, I don't think anyone is worth 10% of the salary cap, but RU are NRL caps are way above ours, so maybe someone could be worth the extra.

Not sure how it all worked, but the bulldogs paying a good wedge ofFranjs contract will have helped last year, I reckon that's one of the main reasons we got rid, as we would have had to pay all his contract.

I think they will raise the cap, it's been the same for about 10 years, whilst our competitors have all risen there's a lot in recent years, even 100k would really help.

I don't see how the cap can be raised, unless prices go up, most people are struggling a bit as it is?

He did play right wing in a team that predominantly went left

Hoffman was brilliant for Wigan in 2011, 6 years ago. Could still do it I'm sure as he's a quality player.
Also rumoured Tautai may be leaving Wigan. Plays prop but can play back row.

Williams isn't going to Wire. The NRL (Souths) have blown Wire's massive offer out of the water.
Wigan would probably promote from within. Jake Shorrocks could be a new 6, Tomkins to go back to 6, Powell is a 6 anyway and could play there if/when McIlorum returns.
Kelly isn't a Wane type of player.

As stated above, Kelly doesn't seem to fit in with being Wanes type of player. Maybe we're the best fit for him?
Why would Williams go to Wire?. Why leave the champions for a middle eights team?
He has plenty of admirers in the NRL, but wasn't aware Souths were after him. Good replacement for Kearey if true, but would be a shame to lose him from the British game.
