I know. Just like George Lawler has gone from being a home grown player we need to build our squad around to being bang average who can easily be replaced.

Noticed Ethan Ryan has suddenly become a better player overnight

Can you imagine? FC's Wembley hoodoo breaker, the badge kissing, FC supporting, Radford protegee. Unthinkable, right?

Yeah, I think so.

I know he’s a professional and all that, but I can’t see him enjoying it if it did happen. He’s 29 in the summer, is coming off a bad injury and has strengths but also some widely acknowledged limitations to his game. With those things in mind, if Quinlan were to depart (I’d prefer he returned to form and stayed, of course) then I think we’d be better giving Dagger the 1 shirt and spending elsewhere.

On the other hand, who’d have thought Danny Tickle would win me over so thoroughly?

Always thought he could play on the wing for us.
Can take a high ball, could scoot from dummy half and is quick.

Leave Jake where he is long term and Shaul can be a non quota winger for us.

That’a what I’d do with Jamie. Could cover two positions and even if Jake is FB, there will be times Jamie would need to play there.

I’ve always thought we should develop Jamie’s game to back up the forwards more looking for the off loads, like Schofield and Steve Evans used to do.

Would hate to see Jamie leave, but trust BH will have a plan for him.

I think he d be expensive cover with his new contract , all about getting the most out the cap so I'd let him go, I reckon Wakefield would take him.

He wouldn’t be cover, he’d be playing on the wing or Full Back.

He’s a non quota player too and Faraimo is OOC at the end of the year.

As for his salary, I’m sure it will be lower than Fonua’s and I’d pick Jamie ahead of Fonua based on his form since returning to the club.

Also I hope the club can be a bit more creative and imaginative than just selling Jamie to Wakefield.

There's no way he's dislodging Connor from fullback

And has Shaul played on the wing before? Highly unlikely. Aged 29 reinventing himself in a new position, a lot of huge question marks.

In my opinion I'd let him go and save a big wage, invest it in a specialist winger maybe like Tom Johnstone and probably have some change left over

Has he put a run together of longer than 5 games in the last few years??

To be fair neither had Andre Savelio, and look how that’s turned out.

TJ has been hindered by concussion protocols lately, that is definitely a big worry.

But would Wakey fans want to see him leave, not a chance, would Leeds want him, definitely.

It’s great to have speed on the outside, but it’s also become a luxury position the wing, a sad demise really.

Tom Davies is as good as Johnstone IMO, is out of contract so wouldn't cost a fee, I hope we have made him an offer.

Good shout Dave another who would be cheaper wages wise than Shaul and also a specialist winger.

To be honest Dave I've always thought Davies was a very good winger that has plenty of pace and was surprised when he left Wigan. I think he would be a very good signing for us and in all honesty better value than Tom Johnstone TBH.

I wasn't aware he was out of contract, so agree he's very much worth making an offer to but with the stipulation he locates within 30 mins of Hull.

Had a couple of bad years of injuries at Wigan (They havent much luck with their wingers) and at the time had Burgess, Marshall and Manfredi.

He will probably stay, but I'd be making a decent offer for him if he fancies moving back to the UK

We now know Swift can cover FB in an emergency. So bringing in someone like Davies is an interesting point.

Indeed but it happens at all clubs

Alot of our fans welcomed the idea of Paul Cooke coming back when he was rumoured to be one of radders assistants

And our fans made that disgraceful song about Cooke dieing after joining the inbreds

So it happens everywhere sport fans are fickle

Great news Jamie given the green light to start full training, he says he will play anywhere, even hooker if necessary. Good lad superb attitude.

Great news. That was a horrible injury and it will have been a long, tough recovery.

Looking forward to seeing Jamie back. He’s still got a part to play in our season and in the future. Love his attitude that he’ll play anywhere. I’m sure and trust that Brett has got a plan and a position for him.

I’m really looking forward to seeing how he goes under BH.
Think he can add something extra to the side.

I have said many times on here that Shaul should be used now as a nine.No such thing now as a hooker since the rule changes and Shaul would be ideal in this position given his pace off the mark.
Would like to see him used off the bench primarily for Houghton.
You dont have to be a great ball distributor in this position.Its now more of a running game from acting half.
Houghton is hardly the best passer of a ball and needs to be interchanged otherwise we burn him out again.
Johnstone is not the answer at 9.He has no running game.
Shaul in my opinion will be our future nine

He is staying at Catalan unfortunately

I really hope he can be improved in areas where we know he falls a bit short, I'd still be happy to see him at FB post working with a coach able to actually coach the required skills in that area, we shouldn't dismiss the possibility of a return there and move Connor back to centre. It would make our defence tighter and offer other attacking potential that Connor simply doesn't offer.

If that's a non starter then impact dummy half/cover the backline would be a decent use of his talents, I still don't like the fact Houghton gets flogged and how that impacts on him personally and the team as a whole.

Houghton has never been an attacking hooker no matter how many games he plays

That's why he's never ever got close to international cause you need a threat in attack Houghton offers no threat

He's lived on tackle 52

I've often had differing views to you but this is absolutely the right thing for Jamie. I recall watching him at the play the ball at Wakey, when he picked up the ball and went probably 60 metres before grounding in their end. His speed and agility would make him the perfect number 9. He doesn't need to be doing the number of tackles that Mint does and would offer a real offensive threat. Jake's doing too well for him to be moved elsewhere.
