Need to hang on to Abdul.

Marsh can go.

Jewitt is a penalty machine but undecided as he has a decent run on him.

Ellis can go, too hit and miss.

Salter can go, not good enough for SL now.

Horne can go, not been great for a couple of years.

Quinlan has lost his edge and can go. Moss has turned into a great player and improved a lot.

Masoe automatic extension?

Need...

Another strong winger
Two forwards
A bigger Loose Forward

All might be harsh but we must push on to avoid m8s next year.

Jewitt been excellent so I'd definitely keep him salter has already signed marsh and Horne can go agree about quinlan thought Moss was unlucky to lose his place to him don't think we need another winger Oakes to step up don't believe we need a bigger loose forward

Jewitt is the type of prop we've been crying out for, roughs the opposition up and takes no rubbish. Yes he gives penaltys away, but that's what you get with these sort of players.

Players that can go:
1 Quinlan - too injury prone. And looks half d a lot of the time.
2. Hodgson - still on the playing roster. Full time coaching role from now on.
3. Ben Cockayne - going anyway.
4. Mitch Clark - seems out of favour, and hasn't done enough to warrant a place.
5. Graeme Horne - needs to retire.
6. Matty Marsh - After the years he's been with us, I still don't know his best position.
7. Liam Salter - Decent defence, not potent enough going forward.
8. Jamie Ellis - decent championship player, nothing more nothing less.
9. Zdc - don't know if he's quota. But his lack of game time doesn't bode well for him. The form of Lawler hasn't helped him either.
I could name a few more. But the cap saved above could bring in 2-3 decent players in positions needed.

Jewitt is a must keep for us next year... big mins and aggression!

It boils over on occasion, but if u have him screwfix and mose - add mully and u have a front row to work with in SL

Saw on Facebook mose's twitter 'never fear I am a Robin next year'. What about the halves? Maguire won't be partnering atkin or Abdul if we keep him.

Will he spot lunt then? Definitely no half back which would mean lawler reverting to back row which isn't a bad thing.

Surely he wont be kept if he can't get into a championship side?

I think you need about 5 top players (maybe 6 if Abdul or Ellis aren't kept)

FB
Centre
Halfback
Prop
Backrower

Think Jewitt will get found out in SL, he didn't particularly stand out last time in SL and his discipline will cost you (I'd have been fuming with him for that 79min penalty he coincided on Saturday).

We have plenty of cover at Hooker anyway: Lunt, Lawler, ZDC and Jubb.

FB: Moss and ZDC (who did OK when he played there).

I think Sheens might decide to keep Quinlan and see if he gets his confidence back.

At HB, Macguire and Atkin are confirmed. Can't see Ellis going back to Hudds but I'm unconvinced by him. Would love Abdul to stay and might if promised regular 1st team games (doubtful get that at Hull at the mo).

Still not convinced by Jewitt. The penalties on Saturday nearly killed us. Still not totally convinced by Kavanagh and Clarke might not cut in SL.

And don't forget Donno who everyone likes to high tackle (poor lad). Still worth a shot in SL.

Depends what you mean by "top players". Not what I think as neither Abdul or Ellis fall into that category. Abdul may develop into one though. Teams even the top echelon are not packed with top players. Most have half a dozen at most complemented by good squad players.

Jewitt is a better player now than when he was in SL and a feisty prop is what most teams need. Most of our players have developed under TS this season. Non of our props have had a red card in 2017. If you would have been fuming at the penalty Jewitt gave away how do you cope the the record of the FC props? You must be almost suicidal.

ZDC did play in the championship. In the qualifiers we needed to play our best team for each match as until promotion was achieved there was no room for error. Are you suggesting that any member of the FC squad that has not so far played in the super 8's should be release?

I'm sure TS knows the players he will retain and has the players he wants to sign in mind whether he can get them is another matter.

Noticed widnes have signed Will Matthews from St George next season can't see him playing if they're in the championship. ...

No, but I would have a player who can't get into my best 17 taking up a valuable quota spot. That's why it's the right decision to release Michaels at hull. Don't think a quota spot should be used on a quota player.

Fair points though, maybe top players was wrong, maybe more 5 top 8 standard players.

Would you take anyone from Widnes and Leigh should they get relegated.
