So thats Lauaki, Sharp,Long,Horne and Dowes up to now then?

Can't disagree with any of them except sharp though can you?

I think he's doing ok. He's a handful when he runs in and he's drawing plenty of penalties and not retaliating.

Agree with all that.

Actually thought Horne played o.k. last night to be fair.I like Lauaki as it happens,he is something different.Long,always been a big fan of his.He is a quality player who is obviously past his best.I will never call him though.
Dowes,er............
Sharp.....think he is a good prospect.

Sorry mate but Horne was awful last night AGAIN.....1 jammy kick to set up briscoe's 1st and helped set up 2nd.....the other 70mins he was putting in crap kicks and getting caught with ball in hand...want my 6 to offer a damn sight more...we used to miss Horne when he was out....sadly think we now dont miss him.

Thought both Horney and Hame played well last night, especially Hame, won 2 or 3 penalties and is obviously playing for a new deal IMO.

Horney took the line on nicely, was pushing through holes and put in a few nice short kicks. We've always known his long kicking game isn't very good, so the ball shouldn't find it's way to him on the last. Phelps showed a nice long game last night, I think we should use that more instead.

Watching horne is like watching in slow motion. I lost count last night the number of times he had plenty of time to kick but ended up being rushed because he takes an extra 2 or 3 seconds to decide what he's doing.

Is still the only player in the team who knows how to back up though

He is playing well this year, no doubt about it. I still think it's 50/50 as to whether or not he will get another deal though.

To be honest, I don't recall saying anything about Horne, Sharp or Dowes (about getting rid of)
I was a little bit intoxicated last night to be honest but...

Lauaki for me is not worth a quota spot. I think he is at best average.
Dowes get rid
Long get rid
Sharp, I want him to do well more than anything, but for me he costs us much more than he brings to the table. He is under contract in any event.
Horne Mr Hull FC, one of my all time favourite players. Want him to succeed, but if I am thinking with my head instead of heart, I would only offer a much reduced contract.

Lauaki played ok last night, but he is average and we shouldn't be wasting a quota spot on him.

Others who should go at the end of the season are:

Washbrook, Long and Dowes.

Horne can stay if we reduce his deal to the role of squad player, and Phelps obviously deserves more time to make an impression (though he had his best game so far last night)

Very much so but is playing as well as he has during his time at the club just now.

think hes doing well, but then you cant please everbody,

Utter utter tosh mate , sorry but true,
Hame is getting better week in week out and works his asse off , frightens the krap out of opps and is again a model pro...
another two years i see!!!

I love the unpredictability about Hame...I think he is one of the few who has been consistent this season so far, if he continues I would like to see him get another year at least....Hame or Dowes, no brainer!!

Big difference is Dowesy isn't a Quota Player

I hope I am proven completely wrong. I just call things as I see them, and is just my honest opinion.

Who else are we going to get?

There's players out there , Lauaki be on a decent wage and has done ok but still think he's not worth a quota spot

There is players out there I doubt we can find a few better than Lauaki though.

Lauaki still needs to more consistant in attack for me and he needs to use those massive shoulders in the tackle. I hate the way he flaps around in defence.

He Tongan like Mason isn`t he . Him and Moa shouldn`t count!

He's not Quota but takes up a Non-Fed spot so effectively blocks signing a Quota player because nearly all of them will also need a Non-Fed spot.

And so it begins . . . . .

I like Lauaki, hope he stays for a couple more years he is so unpredictable a few years ago we were crying out for a player like him and when we get him we just complain.
