Sorry mate, didn't mean it to sound like that



I just meant it can clearly happen but must only be for teams who don't/can't afford to spend full cap.

I.E. If we are a near full cap we couldn't possibly get someone on PAYP... Whereas Salford, Wakey etc may find it a better option!! Problem is you then have no contract, so if the said player turns out to be any good then any team can come and take them!!

Surely must just be a way of lower clubs getting better quality players just to get them playing, but not tying them to that club!!

You bully



I see what you're saying about 'lesser' clubs doing it, just not a choice I would take for hull.

Why do you want to get rid of Obst? He's only played a game and a half and has looked pretty good to me. He certainly brings something different to the team.

He's 30 and average. By the end of his deal he'll be 32. We should have done better this time around, with another 2 years there can be no excuses to not line up somebody better.

He was signed as a back up half back/hooker. He may be average but he's better than what we've got.

You were talking about getting rid of him before the two years are up.

I wouldn't re-sign him but would keep him for the two years with the intention of replacing him with someone better.

Was I? My words were 'at the earliest opportunity'. That's the end of his contract unless he wants to move on, and if he did want to move on, then yes, I'd let him. Again, we should be able to find a better/younger option than him.

like ive said before as long as obst remains as backup hooker and hlafback then hes a worthy addition to the squad but if we go into next season with obst been the number 7 then things at this club wont change

Of course not, sorry Mr popular!

You bracketed him with 3 players who are all OOC at the end of this season so it was a reasonable assumption that you wanted to move him on before his contracts ends, which your last post has confirmed.

Sure he's no superstar but I think he can do a job for us.

Only relaying what hutchie told me

Fair enough, then yes, he could go tomorrow and I wouldn't be bothered. I wouldn't actively seek to get shut, but I would neither have signed him for 2 years nor would I retain him. We'll win nothing this year, he won't be the difference for that, so him being here makes little difference.

IMO if a player is neither good enough to command a first team place nor has the potential for improvement I don't see the point in him being around. Obst does not fit either description for a club who should be aiming to compete for silverware IMO.
