Its a shame that he has had to go (if he has) like this, but he has had his day. Wouldn't mind Scruton in replacement.

For me we are now at the stage were we should have very few of the 2005 cup winning squad still in the squad. Horne to be next I fear and Whiting will be the last of the great team. Though I would be happy for him to be around until he is 30+.

Thanks for everything Ewan you have been a pivitol part of the squad both in good and bad times with a good track record injury wise. Best of luck at the Bulls.

Hame front row, Fitz second row, westerman/washy back row?

And if Dowes has left good luck in the future been a great servant for the club.

Would probably use both there as it would mean we don't have to spend any more money on recruiting forwards in a forward heavy squad. by allowing 3 props to leave (potentially) we could invest more in our 3/4's.

Think Lauaki woud give us another impact prop while Fitz would provide the graft/workhorse role (he has essentially been doing that all season at LF anyway) and i would not allow him to play the full 80 as he has this year, unless injuries struck as he has worked himself to a standstill in multiple games resulting in injury.

Going down the above route our 'props' would be O'Meley, Fitz, Fielden, Lauaki and Moa.

Yes Radford was in that team but never stood out, in fact i'd say he was possibly the weak link.

Agree totally. He's been very dependable, rarely injured, and good for 60+ mins per game. A good solid pro who has served us well.

If true, then good luck Ewan and thanks.

Helped us to a cup win and a grand final. A good solid player who won't let anyone down

All the best to Ewan IF he is going to the bulls.
Been a fantastic servant for us.A model professional with a fantastic attitude.

Dowes = Workhorse. That said he is a reliable and generally fit one who does a steady job. Can play lots of minutes and is usually injury free.

Dowes will probably go up in peoples estimations once he leaves ala Mcmenemy. Ive always liked him as a player. Gets through the hard graft without making many mistakes and very much an unsung hero imo

Ewan Dowes is no longer capable of playing an effective 60+ minutes in the SL.

He was for me a key player in the 2005 and 2006 Finals teams but now falls seriously short of what we need.

As with Mark Calderwood we need to move on and look elsewhere.

But wherever Ewan ends up he deserves out respect for some terrific service to the club.

Hasn't signed for Bradford and still hoping to sign a new deal at Hull.

pinch of salt!!!!

My thoughts exactly.

Well if he is hoping to sign a new deal that much, maybe he should rethink his evaluation of what he is actually worth wage wise.. always handy to have a player like him to cover injuries but cover he is imo

Spot on.

Should he leave, he can do so with his head held high, he's been a fine, loyal servant to Hull FC.

with regards Mac, he was one of the most creastive players the club had for many years and we always seemed better when he played.. .i know this is all about opinions on here but did you actually ever watch him , he was an awesome player and very under rated!!, loved by the club, fans and the players alike

yet

So are we talking to forwards with a view to bringing in TWO new props expro ??

do you think he knows??

do you think hes involved with the club??

who do you think he is??

Even people from the club would like to know who he is

Maybe its Secret Squirrels.

only you seem to care who i am these days!! and who cares as you know i know nowt

oh and the folk who need to know at the club know who i am
