I think we should release all the players you've listed as there's no room for sentiment. We also need to reduce the age of the squad. Michaels has done well but we should be looking for better with his quota place.

Even with upgrades we should be looking at a significant amount left on the cap maybe £250k? Speculation I know.

Good point about Houghton.

On my wish list is a quality NRL centre and hopefully Brough. I don't think they'll be many additions as we already have good depth.

Hadley next to be signed up imo

Brilliant news. Made my day to know he's here for at least another year. Whatever we're paying him he earns every penny.

Leader on and off the field , Even at 34 I still think he's one of the best second rows in SL . Pleased with the news .

Wouldnt surprise me to see Michaels offered an extension to his contract.
Well liked and respected by the club and hid team mates.
Gets undeserved flack from some on here for trying to cover up others mistakes.
I hope he stays

Good for the club and Gaz
delighted

One of the best I've ever seen play for us, great to have him for another year at least.

Problem is he takes up a valuable quota spot in a position we have cover in (lancaster and naughon). We need to start giving lancaster some more game time IMO

Hearing R dean might be on his way, and we are in for benji , interesting times

Lancaster is nowhere near ready for regular first team duty and needs to really work on taking a high ball.
He is one who would really benefit going out on loan.

Reece isn't ready to play SL if kr think he is the answer then they will come unstuck.

rovers throwing big money at other clubs' juniors as they can't develop their own

He needs to be playing more games either at Hull or elsewhere but it's a waste of time him playing in the U19's

Not been fuuny, but how do you know? He looked more than capable in the u23 and at doncaster. Hes not played a sl game yet, so knowbody knows. Not saying your wrong, but you dont know hes not ready

His coaching team know this as he is out of his depth when with the first team.

Great news. Our man of steel! A colossus of a man and hits like a sledgehammer! Love seeing him line up for us every week! An FC great!!

Reece should be more than ready to stamp his mark on the Super League by now .......If we were to compare to the NRL, Thurston is the best half back followed closely by Johnson ......The rest of the quality half-backs within the NRL are aged at 20 plus ......The reason being is because the half-back role is one that is dependant upon natural talent and a natural foresight of the game that is developing before them, whereas the forwards game is one that comes with playing time and usually a forward comes to fruition within the latter part of their career.

Reece should be capable at this moment in time to take the Super league by storm, but apparently his defence is currently keeping him from doing so .......Which, is a tad harsh considering that the majority of half-backs have a dodgy defence (speaking as a red and white, Dobson's defence was absolutely terrible) ......Instead, Hull FC and Radford have decided to choose that chubby fella Abdul over Reece regarding filling in for the half-back role whenever the first choice half-backs are not available because his bulk is seen as more defensive than that of Reece's.

Matty Marsh is currently filling in for us at half-back simply because he is the only option we have .......If we had Reece, he would be getting more Super League game time than he is currently getting at Hull FC.

It maybe due to our lack of depth within our squad, but he would be getting the game time nonetheless ......Apart from his love of Hull KR, maybe this is the reason why he apparently wants to come to Hull KR!

Very interesting but this is about Gareth Ellis.

There is absolutely no way Rovers are looking at signing Dean to start at HB, so what happens if in they manage to get their halfs on the field. Where does Dean play.

Hey boss, can I get a game on DR?
Ok what about the reserved?

I think the problem is the have 4 young halfs if you include Sneyd and we are also looking to sign another, so one maybe has to go and the coaching staff rate HTW and Abdul higher than Dean, this is why he has been playing FB. So maybe it's better for him to move on, just not sure Crisis club Rovers with a poor reputation for developing youth players is the right choice.

These kids are having their heads turned by big money and empty promises from peacock. If theyt want to throw their careers away for a few quid in the short term then that's up to them

Like Jon Wilkin loved Hull Kr! Apparently hes devastated he spent his carrier at saints and not stayed with his true love

If he wants to go though it's not our problem

Jon Wilkin does love Hull KR .....He loves them because he supported them as a child ......You and I can relate to his love of a club growing up as a child, but the difference between Jon and us is that he is a professional rugby league player and he has spent his career at Saints because Saints are a club that has the potential to win silverware .....And fair play to him ......I am in no doubt that Jon now loves Saints just as much he does his childhood club!

Dean may be a better half back than Matty Marsh at present......The only difference is that Hull KR have no other choice to play Matty Marsh because he is our only option at this moment in time ......If we had Reece, he would get more Super League time than he is presently getting ......And this isn't a reflection on Hull FC, it is more of a reflection on Hull KR's poor recruitment
