Any players who had the key players we had out would have struggled, our squad is Ok, I'm more worried about our starting pack and lack of pace than our ability to cope with a few injuries.'"
Tbf, I don’t think depth is bad at all. As was occasionally mentioned last year, you were one of the clubs that had it worst with injuries.
Obviously the retirement of Ellis and departure of Watts had an impact too, but we saw what Hull could do it 2016 and 2017 under better circumstances. The question is, was last year just a blip or the start of a slide back into the chasing pack?
For us the next challenge now is to get into the chasing pack.

Probably can't afford it, when certain fans who are the first to critise the club and demand the coach be sacked don't contribute anything to the club except criticism.

I readily accept that we will not be making any significant signings for this coming season and am very underwhelmed with our transfer business thus far.
I don't think fans who criticise the club are the causation factor here for box office signings not being made.
I put that down to thickening the squad depth with quantity rather than quality and renewing contracts that maybe shouldn't have been.
We all like a moan and grumble at times, myself included but I still renewed my pass.

It was sarcastic against Mr Negative, who I personally don't think he has the right to critise the club at every occasion when he doesn't help the club out in anyway.
No probably with the likes of you or others who put there hard earned money into the club.
I agree, think we have got it all wrong this year with recruitment, havevti back Radford he seems confident in the squad for next season and he sees them 0n a daily basis, his job is potentially on the line, so may be he knows what he is doing he has certainly proves most of us wrong on a number of occasions

| Radford would say he is happy with recruitment!!
The Club have stupidly invested in a non starter for 2019 .

| Look its disappointing to not have a star walk through the door and a lot of our retention was done before the horror season end.
Im confident this squad will be up there, winning a trophy may be out the question but we are not as bad as people are making out. If these new recruits manage to put pressure on the starting 17 and they produce the goods then they will be worthwhile investments. Even more so if they can avoid our youngsters burning out because they have to play 20+ games.
I sense they is a bigger picture but I agree we have not had the proper signings we were told but we all knew that would be the case.

The trialist is either Vulikijapani or Ratu Naulago.
Naulago seems to have the build for rugby league so probably him.
Looks to be a wing/centre and has pace

| Seen today that Widdop has come out and said he wants to play in the UK, but after 2019. Maybe Sneyd will leave, and Widdop will come to us?

If we deem him good enough, will him being in the Army make it difficult to take on a full time contract?

Mark Sneyd at The Courteeners, last night, saying he’s Manchester bound. Probably end of season, off contract? Not Grand Final, guess he meant Wigan?

| Move Connor to half back where his future is and bring in a centre. Him and a fit Kelly would be the best combination in SL. Much as I respect Sneyd for helping us win trophies I wouldn't be overly disappointed and it would make us less of a one dimensional team.

That's all a matter of opinion.
I don't think we would miss him too much, kicking game aside.
Not when we have an England international ready to step into the breach.
And no team has 3 top half backs stockpiled in case of injuries.

| as you say matter of opinion,people have short memories,if sneyd hadn't been playing for us in 2016/2017 ,the red and whites would still be taunting us with you ll never win at Wembley.i suppose if connor or Kelly get injured we can always fall back on washbrooke.and I still think theres a question mark on kellys fitness to last all season.only doubt about sneyd at moment is his fitness,a fully fit sneyd would be in my first 13 .

| Connor and Kelly would be to similar for me , both of the cuff players . We’d have no organisation with them 2 in my opinion.

To be honest i think Sneyd divides opinion and i dont think many fans would be mega disappointed to see him leave.
He is by no means a top quality half back as he lacks a running game,but we know he can kick a ball which works for our limited attacking style.
For me i like him and he works hard on the field but i wouldnt be surprised or disappointed to see him leave.
Looking how Hastings turned Salford around there are half backs out there who could be a better job.

| sneyd may not have a running game,but whatever his faults he must be the most influential no 7 hulls ever had,based on winning the big games,not the best but certainly the most influential.to win 2 lance todd trophys and mom in both preceding semi finals speaks for itself.

I wouldn't disagree with you but if he wants out he wants out, Connor is the most talented player we've got and the more he gets the ball the better.

I fully agree but I don't think connor and kelly would work as a combo. Neither have a top class kicking game and both are off the cuff type players who don't bring enough organisation to our play. No suprise our season went down the pan once sneyd got injured. He went off in the home game we won comfortably against cas and teh only league games we won after that were rovers, salford and widnes. Anyone who doubts his value to the team doesn't know much about the game. He does far more than kick
If he goes we have to replace him with a similar player. With hindsight, it would have been better to let kelly go and move connor to 6 but connor improved so much last season it would have been a brave decision at the time
