Any proof of this?

not while next seasons squad numbers are announced

Turner can play backrow

Lee been offered deal at Salford...

Turner 4 Lee... Sounds good Swap to me!

Please let this be some sick joke.

So [inot[/i Calderwood then

Why ??

Lauaki IS a 2nd rower, even if we're going to play him at prop. I'll be happy with all those 8 departing and maybe a couple more.

If those 8 do leave I, for one, will be very pleased.

Feel sorry for Tony who was the type of character we do want, but his injuries have left us with no choice.

Nothing against Maloney but he is just not big enough for this level.

The other 6 need clearing out.

id take a swap for tickle with chris bridge, half decent centre when he turns up....i think we will either take some cash or take a youngster from wire.....(matty blyth)

Like we need a player who gives 4 penalties a match away.

Westood is easily in the top 3 backrowers in SL and i would swap any of our current backrow for him.

I disagree, he's a penalty machine.

I'd swap any of West Hull U8's for our current lot.

He got injured after about 6 matches

There's me thinking we were getting rid of the trouble and you go and mention Chris Bridge

Indeed. I for one would not be purchasing a players calendar.

I'm a bit disappointed that Lee is going. Versatile, relatively cheap, homegrown, best years in front of him....no world-beater, obviously, but has recovered well from being Nathan Blacklock's successor as scapegoat for everything wrong with the world.

Edited for accuracy

Only one i will be sad to see leave is Motu.
Will never forget that try at Cardiff.
He's been a great player for us,a true proffesional and a real gentleman too.

motu was a great player sadly his injuries caused it.

No sentiment for me, our squad needs a shake up and players need to go. I wouldn't be sad to see any of those leave.

Agree with those sentiments.

Hope the kid stays in the city in all honesty.

Agree with all of that, but given Berro and Houghton are the first choice hookers, where would you see Lee fitting in?

Well, he's a squad player that can cover 7, 9, 11,12,13. If I had to pick between Houghton and Lee at hooker, I'd go with Houghton, but Houghton is an out and out 9 so offers less versatility. I'm assuming we're thinking that Tansey, Turner and Whiting are enough utility players to have in the squad.

Personally I think we should release Lee.

People can talk about skill sets, versatility etc. but the bottom line is he has pretty much no football brain whatsover. In the positions he plays any half decent player needs one and he will never have it.

I remember when he first came into the team and most of us were hoping what a great player he'd be that Johnny Whiteley was telling people he wouldn't make it. The reason - no football brain.

For some of us it takes a bit longer to realize what Johnny picked up very quickly!
