2005

We won a trophy and had a great coach at the helm

So you think we should have kept a player who's last good season was five years ago?

hame is still contracted for next season, so unless he asks to be released he'll still be here so its quite pointless people saying we should get rid and use more salary cap money on severence pay

exactly!

I've no doubt that everybody contract will be at the club next year.

If fitz wants to he'll stay as well.

Forget the dykes, raynor and king payoffs it won't be the norm.

We have to hope that we can use the wages from calderwood, dowes, radford, tickle, Manu, cusack, houghton, hall and Kent to get the right deals for retention and recruitment.

he brings what we were lacking, impact. He's not as indisciplined as some say on here. The stats prove that. Lauaki needs to play prop for me though.

I said last year he should be prop.

Then we'd only need one of radford, dowes and cusack.

yup. Radford, lauaki, moa and o'meley as the 4 props. All have an offload too.

don't know the point in a off load! No one supports!

true.

the only time we seem to look creative s on the back of offloads where we haven't planned 5 drives

why not ? Horne is still here

Quote ="HULLMAD"Hame is a penalty machine, and a wild cannon, I said that pre season and I stick by that, He wont ever IMO be like Manu, Willie gets tackled is tough gets back up plays the game and doesnt gives numerous penalties away in the process unlike Hame'" Now I'm not normally one to quote stats in a debate, but on this pure matter of fact I think it's a valid point: www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2010 So in your opinion, 9 penalties in 12 games is a penalty machine, but 8 in 13 games doesn't even qualify as numerous. Interesting.

Radford has an offload, heard it all now

next you will be telling us he makes line breaks and has a kicking game too

He does, it just doesn't always (or even often) find a teammate.

A torn calf muscle. Could be 2 months or more recovery.
The curse goes on!

H is possibly the most exiting player the club have signed for a long long time and one who scares the crapp out of the opps, he has great feet, great hands , and is lightening fast for a back rower but not a prop , that would be a clanger and a half .
The only thing wrong with him is that he blew everyones socks of with a world class stint at Saints and now everyone expects that every match which is unreasonable.
we wont unfortunately see H again till the next Derby at the earliest IMO depending on what his scan says on Weds, possibly play offs if lateral..

he does.
