...erm, now let me think about this.... with a denture possibly? Love the colloquial use of "Mrs B"....rather than the full title....proves just how good mates you are...well done. (....used for effect)

You get em told spegsy lad.

Radders always hides behind that massive gap in his tooth.

A bit up yourself aren't you? I don't know the lady and merely pointed out what to every other person is quite apparent.

Without being picky, a denture wouldn't let you hide behind a gap in your teeth unless it was a massive denture which then wouldn't fit in your mouth and then it wouldn't be a gap in your teeth

At the start of May Radford in the Shaulgate intervew said how he'd pay for Linehams cab to Wire

Dig deep Lee

Anyone seen if Adam Pearson is still alive?

Your very funny and witty

Oh yeah. Another load of bull from the club then

The club never once denied Lineham wasn't leaving.

Pearson comments were two years ago, things change a lot during that time.

Radford did, int he linked intervew. "hes going nowhere"

This was in May, he signed in March according to those #intheknow.

What the professional head coach should have said was "Tom has a contract and will see out 2015"

That would have been enough for me. But no, we get more waffle and spin from the club, and should anyone question it the playground bullies come out

Fair enough, I couldn't remember and can't be bothered to listen to it again.

The club are very guilty of making silly comments in the paper the last few year and it coming back to bite them, they need to use their brains more when conducting interviews.

Agree, one big area we could tighten up and look a more slick oufit.

You really get vexed over almost every thing Hull RLFC seem to do or say,do you get any satisfaction at all from supporting the club ?

Thursday was pleasurable, so was beating Rovers

I have a suggestion for some who appear to get hypertensive about information coming out of the club.

Attend matches, cheer / shout / sing / moan / protest whilst the match is on. At the final whistle, take a deep breath, realise that its not life and death, repeat for the next game.

Please don't get upset when something doesn't run exactly to the letter of something which was said 2 years ago, or even 2 months ago. Situations change and all clubs output information to appease the fan base. Lets not make out its just Hull FC who do this and let no make out its that big a deal.

The same oldpeople always come on here after a player decides to leave the club and say fook him off, get someone who wants to play for the club in the side.
It's so laughable if not pretty sad that certain fans can't see how by letting him rot out of the side this has far greater reaching effects not only on the on-field performances through weakening the side but also the moral of his team mates and even through to other players whom may or may not want to leave.
Tom is currently our no.1 strike winger and by a fair distance, yes Naughton has done well & yes hopefully we will have Lancaster vying for a place too. But to leave TL out because he's leaving at the end of the season is just crazy talk, the same crazy talk as it was with Briscoe, with Manu, pretty much any player nailed on in the 17 that decided to leave.

What is it with people, are players not allowed to leave somehow, to want to try something new, try to better themselves, go somewhere different, maybe even win something (something we've rarely looked like doing in 10 years). All this gash about oh his head will be elsewhere, he won't perform etc. That might be the case but until he shows he's out of form, shows little interest/effort he plays, end of story.

There's always a few that turn on players as soon as there's a hint of them leaving to sign elesewhere, more so when the ink dries, yet are so called 'fans' slapping down others whom say anything negative about the club yet lo and behold come on here damning a player for having the temerity to leave...

I hope Tom scores plenty more this season, improves his defence a smidge and helps us climb further up the table, if he helps us beat Leeds in the cup then who knows what might happen. When he leaves we should say thanks for all your efforts and good luck with your career.

Wow. I actually agree with Bumpy. Tom's our number 1 winger and will stay so until the end of the season. I don't doubt for one minute that he will do his best in every game.

Great post, although, I'm not sure that many people have asked for him to be dropped on the basis of him leaving.

I expect Naughton to put some serious pressure on him for the rest of the season.

not many but it's the same few whom say it every time a player decides to leave and are really negative about that player all of a sudden but are quite happy to get on the back of other posters whom make valid comments about the club that they don't happen to agree with.

By his own admission he had a mare at magic weekend and had put in a similar performance at Warrington. If that was because his mind was elsewhere then he deserved dropping which he was for the cup game. Much better last week so we shall see. Don't agree that just because players are leaving they should be dropped but by the same token it sometimes affects them mentally and it is right to drop them.
Besides wasn't Pryce pretty much dropped from Catalans team last season as soon as we announced his signing.

I agree with every word of that. FFS Lineham is the second top try scorer in Super League. If his head's gone he hides it well. By all means drop him if he's out of form but to call for him to be dropped now because just he's leaving is ridiculous. Do those calling for him to be dropped think Paea and Rankin be dropped too? If not, why not?

Do you think they were right to drop him?

I've only seen a couple o posts saying not to play him, but I agree with Bumpy's point.

Whilst a player is still contracted to us, we should treat them fairly and play our best available team. If his form drops off, Naughton's in.

Not from what i saw when they were on TV.

One of their most creative players.

Tbf hardly any calling for him to be drooped.

His contract clearly meant knack all to him, so why should we?

FWIW I think we need naughton playing. He has the attitude similar to Rankin that riles the opposition. High fiving, slapping people on the back, seemingly loves playing rugby for hull. If that means Lineham makes way then so be it.
