The decision maybe made for us if they get another offer, if that happened I'd look for another big islander prop if no uk props were available.

Indeed. Would be inclined to do the same, too. Hope Sam stays on though.

personally i hope long,fitz and dowesy go, longy to old now injury prone and we need a top fit scrum half, fitzy been brilliant but as a quota player and due to his age and niggling injuries i feel we should move on and replace him were we need to strenghen and dowesy just isnt good enough. im undeceided on moa and laukai potentially both could be really good and are still young but both are quota players and could we get better? , moa starting to progress really well still areas of his game he needs to improve and needs more game time, lauaki potentially could be a top player for us but dosent get used right and dosent get enough game time again. washy is decent no world beater but will always do a job with his versitility i would offer him a reduced contract as backup and the same for horney aswell unless he can prove this year that he can play a full year injury free and look back to his best which at this moment dosent look likely but you never know. cameron phelps well we will just have to wait and see how well he does for us before making judgement but again if we are ambitious as a club then a top fullback will be signed

Fitzy could go on for a couple more years if rotated in the props.

Moa will leave as I expect a lot of top SL clubs will be interested, although he would be the first player I'd try and sign to a long term deal I just don't see why he'd want to stay, I'd probabally keep Hame if he kicks on a bit, encouraging start to the season from him.

No chance. He's not happy at Hull

Really? have you spoken to him

Yeah, chatting to him at the meet the player thing the other week

And he actually said ''i aint happy here''

Agar is messing Moa about I mean 14 minutes against the giants!!!!!

Is a bit strange, hope it gets sorted out very soon, would be a big loss if Moa goes imo.

No, but he did say he didn't know if he'd be at Hull beyond this season and his demeanour indicated that he wasn't that happy with things.

If he's hardly getting any game time under Agar , He wont be a that big of a loss.

No Argument here with that selection.

Well you are correct

..but most of us can see he would be a big loss due to his ability/potential

Moa said couple of months ago to me he wasn't sure he was staying because they have no ambition !

Think Moa will stay.

I'd keep Burnett on a one year deal and play him at prop as Dowes replacement.

FB depends on how Phelpes goes, if not new quota FB needed.

I've done some research and Pryce, Bosc and Ratchford are all OCC, so we could look to one of these and then sign a number 7 from the NRL.

If can sign one of these, we could maybe keep Lauaki, depending on his form, if not he will have to go so we can get in two overseas halfbacks.

I also look to sign Scruton to replace Fitzgibbon.

Burnett isn't a prop, which is why he's doing well at Quins playing in his proper position, the second row.

I'd keep Burnett well away from the front row.

Burnett is certianly big enough to play prop, I just feel he would get more of a chance there than in the backrow, where they is lots of competition.

I think Burnett good form is more to do with getting some gametime than the position he is playing.

If we where to sign Scruton or another prop (I would keep an eye on Paul Johnson who is onloan at Wakey)

Then we would have

Moa
O Meley
Scruton
Radford

Burnett (to cover both positions)
Manu
Tickle
Westerman
Green
Cunningham
Kent

Also a few players like Turner and Whiting to cover LF.

Getting the right number 7 is the key to our recruitment next year.

Where THEY is lots of competition...............Surely you mean "THERE"?

If we WHERE to sign Scruton............. do you mean "WERE" to sign Sruton?

FFS who taught you English?

For a minute there I thought this was a rugby forum, fook off to an English lesson forum if you want to talk about spelling.

He told my mate he loves it here.

"I'm pay as you play at Dewsbury"

IMO it can only apply at clubs which don't spend anywhere near the cap. Otherwise how can you know you won't break the cap and have to stop playing the said player!!

Surely you wouldn't have to lodge the full 'potential' salary with the RFL as this would be pointless.

You haven't got any mates
