I agree there are a few players who we had playing for our reserves that would struggle to get a game for a National Conference side, let alone stand out.

I know a kid who plays at Donny and said that Donny were playing 3 props on a bench some games and he was hardly getting a game, so he asked to come back or Hull wanted him back.

so where going into next season with just houghton, if berrigan doesn't recover, who can play hooker?

or is Jack Illey getting a full time deal?

Always struggled with his fitness imo. Had some pretty decent impact but lacked an engine.

Kingy can play hooker!

Josh Hodgson ?

just heard josh hodgson is leaving

That rumour's been around for a couple of weeks now. Enough multiple sources to give it some credence as well.

From what ive seen of him thats the right move, doesnt look like he will make the step to first team regular.

You havnt been watching him closely enough then Dave. If only Hull would put him back to hooker he would be a first team regular for you for the next decade and beyond.
Your loss would be our massive gain. (if true).

That's odd because he's just picked up Reserves Player of the Year after he's "arguably been Hull’s Man of the Match in pretty much every reserve fixture this season.". The rest of your reserves can't be up to standard either, eh?

and alot of people on here were claiming he shouldn't be moved from the hooker position.

Who was the prop who played in the 9s for us last week, was that Freer?

Dave Morris (Mozzer) played in 9's last week.. His position being Prop.. He will be playing for the NEW 20'S next year..

Will Josh Hodgson be with us next season ??? Is there any talk of a new contract ???

GJB and gordon gekko are doing alot of

about him going to hkr.

If I were to put on a matching Black &White vest and pair of Y-fronts, they would want to offer me a contract !!!!

tbf to them everyone they've signed from us has improved their side. i suspect, if true, hodgson will.

TBH I don't think he's quite SL standard, he's a decent player but just seems to lack what it takes to play top flight rugby (he reminds me of Andy Last).

lets be fair to the lad he gained international honors for his age at hooker we decided to play him in the back row for his 2 sl apps, hes also been our stand out performer in the reserves.

add to this we could be starting the season with one fit hooker! (not to mention how many berrigan will miss through the season)

There are many players who gain international honours at a young age who don't make it at the top level, the NL has plenty of them. As I've said I don't think he's got what it takes, however he may well prove me wrong.

He used to play for my dads side and was pretty much the best forward playing in the Yorkshire 17's league but as you say he really struggles for fitness. The club have been good with him though by making him a DVD to send to Championship sides to help him find a club.

Its good to see that the club will do that for their younger players who havnt quite made the grade at Hull.
I've seen Shaw play on a few occasions and reckon he has the potential to make a decent Championship forward.

Remember some of the shots he used to put on people Stephen, especially against Drewsbury Moors off half!

I agree with that.

Well done Hull.
