Hopeful on rich and Willie but not so much on Tickle

Good to the see the club get the prioritys right, these would be the first 3 on my list for contract renewls.

I would be not happy if Whiting and Manu didnt sign and slightly disapointted if Tickle left (can be replaced though).

Sounds Like we have offered him a good deal so if he wants to go to move nearer his home then fair play to him.

Hopefully Houghton will be the next on the list after these.

Tickle is as good as gone.

Fair enough, your info has been good in the past, wonder where he will go.

A couple of months ago, Smailes stated in one of those interactive chat things that he wanted to stay, so he must have changed his mind or had his head turned. A loss but not a massive one. Plenty of cover in that position, miss his goal kicking though.

I think Agar is basically saying that Tickle has all but gone, which is fair enough, if he can get more money or be happier personally elsewhere then that is up to him, in the same position we'd all do the same.

Well if Fitz stays that solves the goal kicking and Craig Hall wasn't too shabby the other night was he? Whether he will be still be playing for Hull though remains to be seen??

Will be disappointed to see Tickle leave, but we don't want to get into another Carvell situation.

If Tickle is really thinking of going do you think that is why there are the Joe Westerman rumours around? With Fitz moving into the back row and Westerman going to loose? Personally I don't think that would be too bad, but I would rather us keep Tickle!

Think it would be a big loss to lose tickle think his early season form has shown how important he is to us

Would rather Play Whiting or Washy at loose forward than sign Westerman.
Will be disappointed to see Tickle leave but we have plenty of backrower's at the club without signing another one.

On the list of OOC players that are on another thread, if we do lose Tickle, I would like to see us go for someone like Langley of Bradford. Would be sad to lose Tickle but does miss a too many tackles for a second rower.

Good news about Whiting and Manu being close to signing but I would like Tickle to stay, been in good form this season and his overall time at the club he been impressive. However, he is replacable, unlike the other two. Hopefully, the next in line is Houghton.

Reads that way doesnt it. Not sure why Agar cant simply say that talks have stalled with Tickle instead of spin all the time though.

Will have been a pre prepared statement from above

Good call, have always liked the look of Langley. With a top coach, he'd be a good addition to our pack

Maybe the club wants to let the fans know that they are/were keen to keep him and that his contract renewal offer wasn't being done on the cheap. Not that anyone on here would ever claim the club would do that of course



Like Standee says it sounds like he wont be staying which is disappointing for me as he has always given his best on the field for us and is a good second rower and an excellent place kicker. As ever though players come and go but these 3 renewals show the right priorities IMO.

Can't say I'd blame Tickle (or any of our squad for that matter) for wanting to move on. I'm surprised Manu seems keen to stay TBH, if I was him I'd be waiting to see who came in for me.

As many have said , Hull have started with the right 3 players . Although I'd be disappointed to see Tickle leave , It wouldn't be the end of the world.

Its perhaps unfortunate we only gave Whiting a one year deal at the end of last season. He will be in a much better bargaining position now than he was then.

Word is Huddersfield and we get Robinson...I would be happy with that, though I do rate Tickle highly.

Why would they give us Robinson when they can sign Tickle for free at the end of the season?

Why would Huddersfield release a contracted player to us?

I asked the same question, however this particular person believes there is some-thing in it??

Time will tell.

I can see Robinson wanting out of Hudds, although their fans seemed to think that he signed his new deal knowing that Brough would be joining. Why though would he want to join Hull, who already have Long? He's good enough to get the 7 shirt somewhere in SL. As you say, time will tell.
