Joins Hull FC on a 3 1/2 year deal. Loaned backed to Broncos for the rest of the season. Hope we got good money for him!

Strewth, good for Lewis getting a contract with a SL team. Shame we are losing him.

Bronco’s this season, Doncaster next?

Last seasons form has not been carried over, maybe due to the transfer distractions.

Absolutely gutted with this news.
Lewis is one of our brightest prospects & yet again, one of the Super League clubs come in & poach our talented youth.
Don't blame Lewis for trying to better himself & I wish him good luck but I get so fed up with the club not being able to persuade the young players to stay.
Still, I suppose I will have to get used to us being a feeder club for the "Big Clubs" & hope we can keep on producing quality youngsters that want to stay.

Dont get me wrong Lewis is a Talent, but is he ready for SL, not sure.

I would be suprised if he playes more than 10 games for Hull in next 2-3 years.

To my mind he has jumped too soon. He has yet to seal a first team place. He needed to establish himself and then move on like Louis did.
Anyway I hope it works out for him because he certainly has talent, I just hope it does not go to waste.

He is still very green, on the park with us the more experienced heads on the sideline were constantly giving him encouragement, especially when he made an error or missed a tackle. Will be interesting to see if hull can bring him on. He does not have the mongrel in him like LMS but with some talent around him he could come good for them. All depends if he can get into the main squad though, would hate to see him sit on the fringes, think you could be right Bosty another season in championship might have done him more good

I would play Rob Butler over Lewis these days. He is a real talent. Danny Ward seems to think so too.
Sid too puts in a shift. I think his loan spell at Oldham did him good.

He got found out in a game last year when Hendo rolled him out of the bench, realised he was way out of his depth and pulled him back off.

He will sit on the sidelines for a while until he gets to understand what the front row is all about. He's big, unfortunately he's soft and clueless tactically at this level for a prop.

A lot of these comments sound bitter due to the fact he's leaving.

And to call him soft.... That's just laughable!!

Was just thinking the same but you beat me to it jossy

looked around wigan, saints, and warrington before deciding on fc, cant be that bad a player if the 3 clubs who we beat off to sign lewis were interested too

It's a default when a player leaves, hopefully he will prove people wrong for the rest of the season, Ward obviously rates him as he is keen to keep him, only 19 which is very young to play first team particularly at prop.

Think Hull and Radford will be a good fit for him, he is doing a great job bringing the youngsters through.

To my point, its not that I am calling him soft and I think he is a talent, but he has not started a game this season, and only been on the bench for 2 or 3 games. This shows he may not be as good as people think, he has loads of potential but will he realise it playing 2-3 games a season for Hull, then being loaned out to York or Doncaster

Maybe he hasn't been involved in many matchday squads due to the transfer situation?

My opinion is we will see him more often than not from now until the end of the season.

Think the reason he has not been in the starting line up is lack of experience and confidence, he is a kid still remember. Certainly not soft. Think on his first outing off the bench he did okay to start then made a couple of daft errors, as a coach you then have a choice, bring him off chat about what was good and bad or leave him on and risk him making more mistakes and shattering his confidence.
I would be surprised if it was a couple of seasons before he secured a regular first team slot.

Well i wish him well, i think this move explains why he hasnt made the squad much as Ward has tried other options. I am with Bostwick, he may have made this move a year too soon, but time will tell...................................

My thoughts exactly.
However, if he does play for us now hopefully all this distraction will be behind him.

Take a look at the picture from the last home game, when Rhys was presented with the shirt for 100 consecutive games. All the players seem to be enjoying themselves. Except one. Lewis Bienek, who looks like he does not want to be there. It says a lot.

Ridiculous!

Every picture tells a story.

Give over bosty, Eddie is not smiling either what’s happening with him?
That sort of picture says nothing.

Got the word today, he was pi**ed off for not playing and not happy.
As for the transfer thing, been up in the air since before the end of last season. Four clubs in for him. Three Super League and One in Australia, all made him better offers than The Broncos, whose deal he turned down.
Worryingly, we have other young players in similar situations.

How many of the youngsters leave the club and succeed? Clubb /LMS/Sarginson had made it when they left. This lad can't even get a start in the championship.

He will leave his home, his mates, move to a new city and not get a game with the firsts. He will move out on duel reg to teams below our standard. Can he maintain focus for the next couple of years????

Wire-Quin you are right. If he had stayed another season, become an established player, he would have got his move for probably a better contract.
He has got this move from his performances in three games last year. He has got his work cut out to prove his worth.
