The 8 are

Thacks,Lee,King,Motu,Maloney,Thorman,Horne,Tickle

All replacable . I hope we get a fee or player exchange for Tickle though ?

Ben Westwood

Can't see it, Tony smith rates him highly

knowing our luck we`d get his sister Beverley

Carvell !

and how is this known? whats been said?

isnt maloney on a contract for another year with tickle

and cant argue with any of them leaving

Don't think there's any real surprises there tbh. I like Motu but injuries seem to be taking the toll.

Only 1 im dissapointed about is King.

And does this mean Moa is staying ?
I really hope so.

whats king done the last two to three seasons

I new id get stick, but its my opinion i like him.

We all can have our own opinions now cant we ?

Was our best prop last season before he got injured, this season has been average but wouldnt keep him if we could keep moa or get a world class HB partner for Long or Centre

i wasnt having a go at you at all

and your on rlfans at hull fc your not allowed opinions

so those 8 plus byrne and the absent crocker from this years squad.

in: lauaki, tansey, turner, long, o'meley, fitzgibbon so far

10 out, 6 in so far (and lauaki was signed initially with space on this years cap) therefore we mustve been massively under cap this year or those leaving (obviously crocker wouldnt've been coming for 10 bob) have been heavily overpaid because i cant imagine long, o'meley's wages etc would be pro rata with those that are leaving.

bet that took some working out mate

Lee to salford?

So with Lee going, does this mean the Houghton to Fev rumour was just a rumour? and wont be happennig? i hope so.

Best fookin had be, Houghton is a class player. Be gutted if he goes and to Fev, deary me.

The booze boys(Kingy,Thacks,Tickle and G.Horne) are going then and some very below average(Thorman,Lee,Maloney) players and injury prone Motu, think Radders can count his lucky stars he has not gone too.

put lee in with the boozers

Thats a massive understatement given Tony Smith has publicly jizzed himself over Westwood since he has been in charge of Wire.

Not a bad shout, I would say however that I am not so sure about Danny Tickle who I think will go at the end of next season, (he wants to go back to Lancs). unless we can get a really good second rower, I think we went for one and missed out at the last, so he could be staying! I also think that we will not retain Jodie Broughton who is taking up a place and Josh Cordoba of course is not staying so that could make 9 or ten out!

However the players we have signed are costly so I can see us running with a smaller squad and possibly two more including Turner at the most to come in!

Just my thoughts!

is that definate?

Hope this means Moa is staying , lauaki could be used in 2nd row if needed , with Tickle going there isnt load of 2nd rowers fitz,burnett, manu + radford who im surprised if he will still be here .
