Yes the coaches who turned most of these players into Cup and Grand Final participants

So in essence he is right in what he said

Think that age group have been offered contracts recently and its up to them to accept them now.

Haha You couldn't make it up!

The only player Hull Fc are actually releasing is paul King as the rest are out of contract so its not really a clear out IMO. The board are doing zero to aid this as well. As a club we are simply not giving new contracts. All seems a bit lame to me as they should be telling the likes of Radford, Richard Horne, Tickle to find new clubs. Only will this club move on and improve.

Tickle has been told he can go as long as we can replace him. We had one but it fell through. If the person we're looking at currently signs then he can go.

Tickle and Radford i agree but i think Long playing alongside Horne will bring the best out of Horne as he hasnt had a proper half back since Cooke.

We need a world class 6 to play alongside Long and with our luck if Long gets injured Rich Horne can not lead the team around the pitch he's had 10 years to try and is still not up to the job. We need someone who can for next season PRONTO

Total rubbish,he is seeing his contract out no matter who they bring in.

all this talk about bringing in a world class 6 in, who is available and who'd want to come? can't think of anybody off the top of my head who is available

great reply mate

And another point, i cant really believe that the so-called problems at our club are only caused by players who have come off contract so in truth Agar has done absolutely nothing. People like Berrigan and Tickle who are world famous members of the drinking culture havent been touched but oh yeah, theyre not off contract.



All in all its a bit pathetic IMO

You have no idea how this works at all, do you?

Are they even releasing king? Thought he was just being allowed to talk to other clubs. If no one wants him then he'll still be around next year. Have to say it's all pretty underwhelming given the hype we've been hearing of late. It's pretty much fringe players, injured players and one p1ss head

Who else was you hoping to see released?

King? And you want to get rid of our best players?

No, they want to bitch about offering average and head players new contracts and then bitch about not getting rid of the rest of the squad when the average head players are not offered new contracts.

So who else should have gone in your opinion?

radford, dowes, tickle and r horne sold to warrington for £1/2m

Or they could have retained King in which case you would have been really annoyed.

Tickle's "people" spoke to Warrington a few weeks ago but they weren't interested.

Horne deserves another chance - with a specialist scrum half beside him.

Has Horne actually ever played alongside a specialist scrum half ? I can't think of any.

They have retained king. I'm not annoyed, it's only a game

Tickle is a good second rower with a cracking place kicking skill level. He has been far from our worst performer this year.

We're well covered for back rowers next season and he'll be on a reasonable wedge. I'd let him go if family reasons mean he'll go after next season anyway. The cap space could be more effective elsewhere
