Reported Hurrell is going back to the NRL for next year.
Seems pretty inexplicable how he'd get a contract back there but perhaps Wayne Bennett can do something with him that all other coaches to date haven't. Or graft some adhesive onto his hands.

Turning out to be a decent signing for us given the injuries to Grace/Hopoate so far and now the likelihood of Hopoate being full back for the rest of the season with Welsby to 6/7 given Dodd's injury.

I would be a good signing for Saints as you are miles ahead of the rest of the rabble and could cope with my faults as you do with Konnys

Hurrell is a quality player. Think it’s unfair to say he is only looking good because he’s at Saints.

He's a decent player with good attributes, and poor attributes. The poor parts to his game can be more afforded in a good team

We still propagating the myth that Hurrell was somehow a bad signing for Leeds? Have you watched our other big money signings?

He was a great signing for Leeds. But Leeds weren't in the best place to utilise him properly. How we'd kill for his go forward or impact close to the line.

He's still a limited player though. A better team like saints can play him to his strengths, and be able to better cover his mistake

Limited yes. 1

Limited yes. 10x better than what we have now. Very good injury record too . I think that s just as important now…!

Good injury record?

Hasn’t he played about 170 games in 10 years?

Think more but player most games for us over the three years. For our standards that’s outstanding!

Think he played 43 games for us over 3 years.

INOUT
Don’t forget we playef a-lot less games in two of those seasons so good record….
How may has our other marquee signing played?

Shabs you need to move on, we offered him a contract which he turned down as he obviously had an eye on an NRL return.

Letting Hurrell go isn’t the issue, it’s not replacing him that’s the bigger issue.

Is this thread really still live?
Can we not move on.

Oh yeah it’s completely the case . I pointed this out when he was allowed to leave (and he was), but I got shut down as people were saying we had a better squad than 2017!!!

We have got a better squad - if they could stay fit

I know you look at the positives Chris, but if you genuinely believe that then you are delusional!

Summary of this thread for anyone who needs to catch up:
Shabs loves Hurrell.
Everyone else realises that his weaknesses outweighed his strengths for us and it was the best thing all round to let him go.
The End.

It wasn’t actually me who resurrected this thread this time!

One thing I never understood is that when in the NRL I only ever see him play on the right. Most of the time Leeds used him on the left. Maybe he prefers that but it always seemed odd.

No need for the insults Shabs it's just an opinion.

I think the additions of Fusitua, Bentley, Austin and Sezer outweigh the people we let go.

In addition to the youngsters being a year older if we could stay fit and stop the bans the squad IMO is better.

Sorry. Your completely entitled to an opinion and probably know way more than me, as you go to most games!

On paper our fittest squad is dynamite. Virtually every pundit /jouno agreed pre season

Is that in the slang context?
