Just pointing out where he has played in the recent past.

Not bad for a scrum half, eh??



TBH i'm just a big fan of Tom and am massively disappointed that things don't seem to be working out for him.

we've ruined the lad imo.

I agree and i know he ain't everybody's cup of tea, but the kid is gifted and something has gone drastically wrong with his development.

He's not the first and i'm pretty sure he won't be the last and thats a worry.

aren't alot of catalan's pack injured / banned?

Ryles and Carlaw are injured and Fakir is banned i believe. Not sure if there are any others.

a true uk problem.

Yup.

Raguain is out too.

Its a shame for Tommy but he also has to take some of the blame for that, sometimes young kids with potential neve realise it. Tommy should move on and get himself some regular rugby.

Pretty good for us then! What would you do? Have one less prop on the bench? Or keep it as it would be and smash smash smashhhh em down the middle with our super impact props dowes and cusakicon_wink.gif

I'd go with two props on the bench plus Houghton and Manu. If Whting was available then I would have him on the bench ad play with three props but its a straigt choice betwen Lee, King and Maloney, with King being doubtful then Maloney would get my vote.

I think he would get my vote too even though i haven't seen him play, but i think a good time to give him his super league debut against catalan, if he's ready a'course

I love to know how we have ruined him, he isnt good enough for halfback, as he hasnt developed enough in that position. Also we have better players at hooker and LF where his best positions are.

I think Tommy's career be best suited if moves away from Hull.

If Berrigan had 1 year left on his deal i could see Lee and Houghton sharing that role next year. However, as Berrigan has 3 years left and Houghton is way ahead of Lee there may only be one option for him unfortunately.

I think you're right and i would advise most half decent youngsters in this area to do the same.

oh dear

Why?

Tommy Lee has to move elsewhere for his own sake and, more importantly for the sake of our squad. We are currently paying a player who is, at best, third choice wherever he plays and that just has to be a waste of salary cap space.

The recent new signings seem to be a real indication that RA is afterall looking to bring in the types of players that we all want to see and with the release of two or three more fringe/squad players or players who just aren't good enough, maybe we could see another top class player coming into to the club at centre or scrum half.

To move away from the CITY.

Because Hull dont promote young players, apart from Yeaman, Horne, G Horne, King, Burnett, Hall, Briscoe, Lee, Hall, Houghton, Radford and Washbrook.

Once the two overseas players arrive. I'd send him out on loan to another SL club or a top NL team. OOC at the end of the season, I cant see him getting another deal, unless he finds a position and improves on his game.

by about 12000 miles

....and there we have it.

Didnt know Lee was a prop?

So why wait for them to come before you offload him then???
