Agreed, he has really good hands too.

Exactly, before we signed him and Ogre we were far too nice for as a side.Every side needs a player like Hame.

What we should do with Lauaki is take him out of the middle just like Mason plays for Rovers ..and let him run at the little men ..just let him have a few little runs then take him off for a rest ..jobs a good one

We did that last season but he never saw any ball! Again crap coaching and limited game plan from Agar. A better coach would have him striking fear into the opposition.

What?? You want him to stand with his hands on his hips and only take in about two drives in-between blowing out his ass like Mason??

Hame needs a quota spot though so that will be the tricky decision, how to best use our quota spots.

Ogre and hopefully Moa will be two of the five. I can't see Phelps or Fitz getting new deals and Lauaki for me is 50/50.

I would also say at the moment Phelps is 50/50. I think it depends on what Fitz wants to do with his life as well. If he goes (I think he will) then I would keep one of Phelps / Lauaki. Depends who is available to sign, but we need a 6/7 as a priority

Not saying it was you who mentioned all those players mate.It is just what I have seen on different threads.

Who should our props be next season then?

I'd have said as a back rower we should allow Lauaki to leave at the end of the year, however as a prop i've changed my mind.

lauaki is just a less effective version of moa at prop. We can't carry them both IMO. I'd let him go and put either green or cunningham in the 1st team squad in his place

I think there's better player's out there , Whether Hull can attract them is another thing.

Luauki only worth keeping on a reduced contract in my opinion. The quota spots are massively valuable and to me, we could probably do better with the money we're paying him. Not sure who we could bring in, but that's down to Mr Agar and his staff anyway

I'd have thought that we should keep them both. Pretty good pair of impact props. With O'Meley and Fitz as the other 2 props with Radford as 5th choice and Aldous as 6th choice it looks pretty strong. We can concentrate on other areas of the team that way.

You seen a lot of Aldous ?

I've seen bits of him in the 20s and also in the pre-season games a last year or the year before. Always rated him. Seriously think he has what it takes. Just wish he'd get given some game time in the 1st team.

Getting rave reviews.

Think he has got a chance just as Cunningham ,Bowden and Green . I would like to see them tried more I know people will say it's hard when people are under pressure but we all know what Washy , Dowes can do, give these lads a go

Would add Newton, Nicklas and Williams to that list.

We need to start seeing them more than just named 18th man mate. It's really holding us back as a club compared to the likes of Leeds, Saints, Castleford and Wigan for example.

Only seen Newton once did ok , Nicklas good that their keeping him involved much as they can and knows how to come to back from serious injury , Williams still undecided on

I agree, about time we played some of them. Hopefully one or two might play in the CC.

That can't be their only appearance though. I'd like to see Lyne come into the side for a couple of games too.

Would love to see him given a go as a bench player,as i think he could surprise a few.

We're the 18th man you traitor



Also, it would be foolhardly to bring in a player to play in his correct position, when you can move 10 others to play in the wrong ones. Surely any idiot knows that
