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.

But he will probably be on better money so hey ho.
Think we are all pretty much on the same page on this one, I hope the bloke does well, but it’s too soon.
Ull might be quite a culture shock for him.

"Ull might be quite a culture shock for him"

As i am from Hull i can certainly confirm that. I think the Oscar Thomas example is the obvious one. Bradford signed him on the back of a Summer Bash performance, that didnt end well..........................

Hull will be more like Castleford from a coaching sense and should improve Lewis as a player, but so would Wigan and Saints.

Bradford were a basket case and The agent(s) who took the Broncos players up there need to have a harder look at themselves rather than their bank balances.

May have signed a week early. Hull connected with Darcy Lussick. Who is rumoured to be leaving Manly as they reorganise after their salary cap punishment.

Or maybe he signed just in time, had he waited another week they might not have signed him. Hey you can’t knock the bloke, he was not a shoe in for a start with us, why not go somewhere where arguably he will be coached to a higher standard, presumably getting paid more and cheaper to live.
It’s a decent contract they gave him so must be worth it for him

How the deal happened was discussed on this weeks Backchat on Freesports ( part 3) Agent Craig Harrison one of the panelist’s.

Bienek has joined Hull this week for training. How come he hasn't been playing for you guys? Not good enough, inured, due to him leaving he hasn't been picked?

He hasn't been in the frame for a few weeks. My suspicion is that now he has reached the heady heights of Hull, he isn't too bothered about LB, albeit when he was loaned back, I am sure everyone's intentions were sound. Is he good enough ? He needs at least another season the Championship.

Maybe Wardy has decided its best for both parties he leaves and gets refocused ..... and we bring in a hooker or half.

That would be nice Plummy

So the squad gets even weaker when others around us are getting better. Thumbs up London!!!

Hes going out to Donny on DR loan. We can have him back if we get desperate.

Popped along to Oldham yesterday afternoon to watch Lewis play for Donny.

Played 45 minutes in two spells off the bench. Donny were poor, Lewis didn't play badly just the one error when he knocked on when driving forward. He caught a few Oldham players out with his power.

Fans of both teams were critical of dual registration, not convinced some of their players want to be there and the disruption their late inclusion in the match day squads causes.
