Hooker?

Interchanging with Houghton, with Berrigan in the centres would look good to me. Not that I've seen a lot of Berrigan at centre.

It'd give you natural cover at 7 and you'd still have plenty of backrowers. It'd be a bit of a departure, but quite a coup.

The only reason I could see him moving is to play 7. He can stay at Hudds and be a hooker. Maybe a Robinson/Long partnership with Horne in the centre?

Why?

A very good point. The last thing we need is a player leaving us hanging on until later in the year before turning down a contract and leaving us struggling to find a replacement.

Agree with the majority - I'd like all three to stay, if Tickle goes it's a blow but not a disaster.

We should set a deadline date, and then move on.

Agree.....will be a big blow if Tickle leaves....put it this way..if Tickle and Fitz go...we will need to recriut a kicker and Hll is OOC as well.

With Agar saying we have offered Tickle a very good contract maybe suggests he doesnt expect him to stay. That said I agree about the need to know either way as soon as possible because teams are clearly actively recruiting now and good players will soon get snapped up.

When not if

The soundbites were quite positive only a few weeks ago aswell.

If BB is right and we get Robinson out of it, it might actually be beneficial.

Why would we get Robinson though? Tickle is OOC, we don't have a bargaining point really.

I dunno. It's a rumour I like the sound of, so I've chosen to believe it in the face of all the evidence.

Fair play, tbh i'd like it to be the case too.
But we need to be telling Tickle that the offer is only there for a certain length of time, we don't want what will probably be a big chunk of the cap floating around until it's too late.

I still believe tickle will stay possibly a 2-3 year deal,whiting and manu each to get 2 years,just my opinion of course.

However Wolfie we all put great weight on YOUR opinions so thanks for cheering me up!

was thinking the same

wheres the brother these days?

loved up

is he not allowed on here then lol

Whiting and Manu shoe in's for a new contract. Tickle I couldn't care less, even if he has had a few good games this season. Would prefer to see Fitz retained for another year and Burnett stepping up.

id rather have a few good years out of tickle then just one more from fitz,tickle still only 26 i think.

He is 26, but he won't stay forever. Burnett is 22. Lets play him. Done not much wrong. Fitz to kick next year, hall for another one year contract playing centre only, and if he can prove himself, then he can kick.

I'm a big fan of Burnett - very good prospect. Needs a haircut though.

Can't see Mike getting a haircut, it's been like that for years
