Should have happened weeks ago, not sure why it took Connor getting injured to see Reynolds is rubbish. |

Yeah I had a feeling we might be clearing a quota spot. As you say we could easily have just dropped him and played a youngster. If we've paid his contract off in full we're financially not really much different (potentially just payment terms rather than actually figure) so the biggest benefit out of it all, to me at least, seems to be opening up a quota place. |

Youngsters aren’t ready for week in week out sl rugby. The club will be looking at bringing someone in.

You are right Dave.
Think Hodgson wanted him and Gale to have a good run together to see how they went. If he wasn't a marquee player and wasn't Hodgson's signing he may well have gone before. Maybe Pearson and Clark had to step in?
You've really got to question his judgement in signing him in the first place. Even more worrying that he was on the Wests coaching staff. |

You could well be right but even if we do bring a stand off in I'd like to see a youngster getting some game time at half back as we shouldn't be keeping Gale on unless he has a dramatic upturn in form.
For the first time in years we are producing a significant number of academy players who look capable of making the step up. Some need to be given a chance sooner rather than later because if not they'll stagnate or be picked up elsewhere.
Long term even if we do spend the full cap we will not challenge the likes Saints or Wigan unless we produce a stream of homegrown quality. |

A moot point now but was it ever confirmed that he was Hodgson's signing, or had the club been chasing him prior to the appointment? It was very quick, signing announced just over a week after BH was appointed.

Fair point COYH. I always thought it was a Hodgson signing but even if it was before he was officially appointed I would have thought the club would have sought his advice given his relationship with Pearson. |

i agree
They should if possible be brought in to a winning confident team.
You cant bring in two or three together.
One at a time and possibly one on the bench |

Could be right but If Pearson and Clark made the decision it undermines Hodgson even if it's the right thing to do. |

I would imagine Reynolds reply to the person that posted on his social media won’t have gone down well with AP and quite possibly the final straw.

2008 was a poor season for Hull FC, in SL especially. You had a large and arguably stronger contingent of homegrown players that year.
https://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/seas ... mmary.html
That is a really poor analysis by me because I wanted to make a counterpoint and I went off to find and select evidence to support it. And to mirror your approach. You might, in response choose to mention injuries or the perceived shortcomings of the coach. Again, that is selection bias.
A team might get a golden generation once every few decades and needs a few coming through to be competitive at least. But what underpins good recruitment and a strong academy is money and ongoing success. Bradford stopped being good when the money ran out. Hull’s peak recent years followed heavy investment by Pearson to bridge to the emergence of an academy generation which didn’t, as a group, meet expectations.
Saints bring youngsters into a winning team. If Hull are focusing on potential and being patient for a couple of years, I think it is going to be harder than some imagine. Even if fans are patient, which they might be if it is born of economic necessity, it’ll still be a drag on external recruitment because good players want to spend their best years competing.
It’s a question of degree, and I doubt Hull are going to take a radical approach. However, pain is no guarantee of gain. |

The mind boggles at that especially has he was so poor over here for us. Maybe the sentimentality issues we suffered with as a club have rubbed off on Canterbury or the person that offered him a deal was a little bit  . |
