Although dissapointed we might not ever now get to see Turner become the player he can be, I wish him well.

Crooks is ready made replacement IMO and will demand a much lesser chunk of of the salary cap, and by all accounts Arundel is a done deal too according to many.

Turner to Saints may not be as bigger loss as it first seems.

I would now make Crooks first choice for the rest of the season and let him get experience and bed in, I don't think he would let us down at all.

Dont agree Sheldon,

Once Horne is fit, Russell will have limited game time.

Gentle obviously feels, that we dont have a young fullback in our youth setup,to be a backup
to Horne.

My preference for the centre berths would be:

Yeaman
Crooks
Martin
Turner.

Why dont you try and give him a chance.

So last weeks "i wont be rushed into anything" is all bolloxs then.Not going to be as big a loss as some people are making out to be.Would sooner have a centre pairing of Arundel/Yeaman than Turner/Shenton and we have young Crooks who will be a better player than Turner.

Whilst Turner has come on well this year, and it is disappointing to see him leave, I understand his decision. I personally don't think him living in Lancashire and travelling down to Hull every day for matches/training was ideal at all, and if he doesn't want to live in Hull, then let him go.

As said, Gentle is proving to be a fantastic coach and whoever he brings in will do the business, I'm sure of that.

We all know your feelings on turner

And?

Arundel may be unknown to a lot of fans but Gentle/Mcrae havent let us down with signings so far and i believe Crooks will be a better player than Turner.

Real shame because he's transformed into a top three centre this year, and probably will be for years to come. I also think we should drop him now, and develop our own instead. I don't think the Russell argument is relevant, because there is an outside chance of us signing Russell.

I understand why a Lancashire lad would rather go and win trophies for a Lancashire team, but I also think we're responsible for turning him into the form centre he's become - and he could've shown some loyalty. So yeah - pretty angry, and I hope he contracts ebola, and his organs liquify and dribble out of his rear. I only wish pain on 80% of his immediate family though.

I can see both sides of the argument but I hope Crooks gets more game time now.

What side does crooks prefer to play on or which side is his best ?

Left.

Top three centre? Jesus wept.

If he doesn't want to be here enough to move here then he can off, he's hardly Mark Gasnier, is he. 90% of people on here were slating him the last two years, now he's had half a dozen decent games we should be gutted? Think Saints have better centres coming through.
He's definitely a Brown type back, big, tall and athletic. But he isn't anywhere near as good as a Cudjoe, for example.

I think it's a shame to lose Turner but these things happen.

At least he will see out his contract with us and he has played some good rugby this season (the hat trick against rovers was nice)

Turner is replaceable and Gentle will not let us down

Mark Gasnier looks a shadow of his former self IMO. On form, in the games he's played this season, there are not 3 better English centres than Turner. You can only judge on form, and he's been exceptional this year.

For me,only disappointing from this years form point of view.If say, hed have gone at the end of last season,i wouldnt have really been too bothered at all.True, this is probably due to having a coach who knows what hes doing,but i have no doubt whoever wants to go or we let go will be replaced by the people now in charge with better...

arnudel was one of castlefords best young talent and when he was playing last year he performed ace in every game and scored sum good tries got alot of pace and quite well built for his age good replacement imo but id play crooks for the rest of the season see if he can keep yeamo out the team played ace against leeds bright future for that lad

Reed , Atkins , Watkins , Cudjoe ?

I think people should stop sulking on here, players move from teams all the time, all we can ask is that the likes of Manu and Turner are professional for the rest of the season (and i'm sure they will be), in the meantime i'm sure PG will pick his best 17 to win any particular game regardless of the situation, isn't that what it is all about at the end of the day?

I don't understand why people on here take the hump when a player moves on. Best of luck to the lad, and I hope he develops into an international player.

I would suspect that the majority of supporters want our players to love our team as much as we do. I certainly don't wish him any bad luck, but don't want to be mucked about, either play with 100% commitment or b^gger off (that's my opinion by the way).

Agree 100%, not too bothered at all. If Arundel does come I actually think he's a better player than Turner was at the same age with at least as much potential. In a year's time I doubt there'll be threads bemoaning the loss.

At least. Cases for Hardaker and Bridge as well.

Thought Jordan may have given it a shot under the new Coach & owner but maybe we are paying for the failings of the previous seasons? If he doesn't want to be at Hull then no point having him here, have to say though I didn't realise they'd moved Oldham & it was so far away from Hull.

This club needs players that are committed and want to be here. Cynical side of me wonders if Jordan has improved under Gentle or was he out to impress his new club?

It's disappointing but ain't going to be the end of the world as for too long we have been average and in need of a serious turf out. We have cap space and time available to build with for next season & an owner & Coach who want to bring success not just scrape into the 8.

In AP, PG & SM we trust

I don't buy all this 'wanting to be closer to family' crap.

Hull is hardly the other side of the world from Oldham and being a professional rugby league player is hardly a nine to five job. He could always move to the West Riding and be an hour away from both Hull and Lancashire.

Why not just be honest and say it's for the money.

Defo, if we had Bridge and Yeaman in our side Turner wouldn't get a sniff. Shame but life goes on and I'd be happy with Arundel and Yeamo with Crookes pushing for a spot.
