So you can't offer an opinion or a reasonable debate/discussion? Highlights yet again your inferiority complex when you reply with usual back biting childish nonsense. .good for you...lol
We had injuries in his position and he didn't get a game..or has he msyteriously played without anyoneexcept you noticing!
He got offered a longer contract elsewhere.
What aspect isn't accurate?

He probably should have waited, I can tell you 100% that officials from a top NRL club are going to England for the Magic Weekend on a recruiting mission and one of the players they are keen on is Reece Dean.

Gotta wonder why? We've thrown loads of kids in in recent times. Yet dean we don't. Same coaches who see all the young players every day of the week almost keep over looking him. And is now suddenly seen as a full back. Says to me they don't fancy him as a half

Radford doesn't think he is ready and not worth what he wants, Rovers think he is and are willing to pay the money and give him a chance. Think Rovers see him as a FB, which he has no chance at Hull. He could be a Josh Hodgeson or a Luke Briscoe.

I personally think we are keeping (hopefully) the better player in HTW.

Well they're not going to see much of him there.

A Luke Briscoe? I hope for Reece's sake he has a bit more success than that, wherever he ends up.

He didn't get offered a game because he's too far down the replacement list. If he thinks he should be getting game time ahead of more experienced players then that says more about him than FC TBH.

I've no problem with a him leaving for a better contract. If he thinks he'll have a better future at Rovers than FC then good luck to him. What I take issue with is you trying to make out that this is somehow some kind of failing by the club. Honestly, it's a bit pathetic.

That was his point.

I see that now haha.

I'd guess with Abdull now on loan at Fev that we'll see Dean playing 6 for the 23s, rather than fullback? Anyone know when the next game is? One for called off this weekend.

What's pathetic is you jumping to conclusions and jumping on the bandwagon!
I haven't made anything out regarding being failed by the club, read what I wrote, none of it is untrue, from his POV he'll presume he has more chance of first team rugby and it IS a fact he hasn't being picked despite injuries.
Whether he is/was ready/good enough we won't know now (for us) and if you had bothered reading and understanding I'd said we will see how he goes to underline that point as to whether he was or not.

Give it a rest ffs

He's probably got a better chance of playing at our place and if he's on more money it's a no brainier you can't keep everyone Leeds and Wigan bring through a lot of youth but also release a lot if you have Abdull HTW and Dean as back up one has to go really as you will probably have another youngster coming through in the next couple of years

This. If Motu's gone to Aus looking for a 6 as well, best for all parties.

I agree too, and surely we should be more than happy at the fact that we have started to produce more players, who go on to play at the highest levels.
If these youngsters continue to develop into good players, with any other club, and they have any desire to play for FC, then surely we will be able to offer them contracts when appropriate.

Motu tweeted whilst on his flight to congratulate the win over Catalan. For me R Dean always played with a frown as though not enjoying himself or where he was.

We can't keep everyone that comes through our programme. Rovers will always try to take advantage of the merged academy, possibly one of the major factors for them signing up, if they want to throw money around on an unproven prospect then that's their risk. However, you can't blame the lad for plying his trade elsewhere. If he does make it then its testament to the guidance he received at Hull.

I doubt he'll get a 4 year deal. Surely even Rovers aren't daft enough to give a kid who's never played 1st team and has only really had one good season at 19's level a deal like that.

So he has turned down a £2K pay cut with little chance of progressing to the first team?

Che sorpresa!

Your so bitter, pretty sad really. Just because he's out shone your blue eyed boy for 2 and half seasons , get over it

To be fair , radfords taken a wage cut after 2 very poor seasons, and ticket prices have been reduced on the back of them 2 terrible seasons, so why shouldn't the players also take a pay cut !

Are you having a meltdown?

I think that 's just the cold weather.

You can tell don't go to academy games.

Dean was better last year, but Harry spent a lot of time injured, previous season Harry was the much better player and has started the year really well.

The fact Rovers and Hull see Dean as a FB, tells its own story.

Really? After reading that, id say its you that doesnt, deans been better this year, played more at donny and played well, he was far better last season, granted htw did have his injuries. And the season before, dean was better before having is own injuries. And whats the position got to do with it, as looked good in recent weeks at fb, so maybe hull and rovers are right. Its not ssing contest dave, just makes me laugh how people see things now deans leaving, htw wont make it, abdul will never make it as a first choice 6 or 7. Dean like you say might play fb for whoever. So we still havnt solved the home grown half back problem out, and doesnt look like we will in the near future. I would of love to see htw and dean both make it into the first team at 6 and 7, but thats not going to happen
