According to Radford HKR offered more money to both players which Hull couldnt or wouldnt match.
Now Radford never lies does he?

No I’m sure he doesn’t , unless it benefits the club . I know who I believe , he could have stayed but wants to play and also get on with and be appreciated by his coach . Which he hasn’t had for a long time !

I don't disagree with you saying Swain was better overall, to be fair Swain was the best hooker in the world. But Swain would occasionally take a breather in a game, Houghton rarely does, which is why he is unique. If you don't need to interchange your 9, in theory we should have more punch coming off the bench.

Bottom line is both Hadley and Litten were offered deals to stay at the club but both decided they wanted a better chance of first team rugby and you can't begrudge them that as it can be a short career.

Unfortunately for Litten he was never going to shift Danny Houghton and as he plays 80mins, Littens chance's where going to be few and far between. As for Hadley again he will be down the pecking order with the new signings coming in and seemingly Ellis playing on next season.

So money aside they just wanted to play regular first team rugby and for me that shows they are decent lads who just want to play. That said our value of both Hadley and Litten would probably be a little lower due to them being seen as fringe players rather than the frontline 17 where as Rovers seemingly see them the other way around due to their roster and circumstances.

Good luck to both of them.

Which lines are those that you can see?



@Chris71 sums it up nicely.

All I read from Hadley, is positive things about Radford, now I know he isn't going to say negative things, but if he had a fall out , I'd doubt he would say some nice things about Radford woild he.

I guess you must be another one on here who has trust issues and doesn’t believe what he’s been told . A few things in there , he’s had ups and downs , how this season and back of last have gone , been easier to stay at hull ..... but if you knew what had gone on , very unlikely to happen . Would be very unprofessional if he came out and slagged the club off or coaching staff , very rarely that happens even after a falling out . I’m sure you’ll try and keep this going , as it seems like you have to have the last word !

We are losing a lot of home grown players this year

litten
washbrook
jadley
logan?
green
harris?

How many do we have signed up in the squad for next year?

I think I read somewhere, we have till August to finalise deals.

I’m sure other deals are already completed and the clubs media guys will release this information when they think best.

Best hooker in the world that played for Hull was Tommy Harris.Now he WAS a one off!

Bomber was one of my heroes when I started watching in the 50's. Made of steel was Tommy.

And a Lance Todd trophy winner, on the losing side, he must of been tremendous to watch

That'll be the deadline for signings to play this season. (August 9th.)

Ok matey

Not only won the Lance Todd trophy against Wakey, but played at least half the match with concussion. As I said before he was made of steel. I believe I read somewhere that the Queen had some complimentary words to say about him.

He went into the match with a niggling shoulder injury which in the end coupled with concussion caused him to have to leave the field about 10 mins from the end being totally spent. He had previously being taken from the field a couple of times with head knocks. On being assisted back to the dressing room he received great applause from all fans and for me it marked the bravest performance I have ever witnessed. Was never prouder to be a Hull FC supporter.

I believe his LTT award was unanimous from the judging panel which in itself was an outstanding achievement as Wakefield had won by a record score at Wembley which included a couple of great individual performances in their ranks.

Chris Chester has said today Wakey are looking at one maybe two bodies to bring in next week - could we be shipping anyone else out? Washy?

..... the Queens is reported to have said to RL Council member Bill Cunningham, “It is amazing that such a small man can be at the bottom of a scrum and knocked out and then be so active a short time later”.

Turns out the youth player that was included in the deal is a young outside back named Joel Speed, announced this morning. Know absolutely nothing about the kid other then he's got the perfect name for playing on the wing.

Speed and Swift on the wings, just need a forward named Big Orrible Barsteward now

BOB. lol

Heard he's damaged this ACL and is sidelined for upto 12 months
