It doesn't unless we get rid of 1 of Fitz, Berro, O'Meley, Moa or Lauaki

I also think Radders and Tickle are playing the best they ever have for us and would keep based on current form, especially Tickle, he's been one of our most consistant and best players this season. Yeaman is also hitting some good form, if he keeps it up I could consider a new contract for him too.

now read the post again silly English King and you will see i do not say he is the same class as fitz!! but equally important for his versatility

Dunno , would agree about Tickle but not Radds , at best he has had one good game thus far, looks as unfit as ever and has resumed his mantle as the penalty giving king

Who would you replace your out going players with?

fair point... the confusion being that I, like many others, would like to see Whiting at loose man at some point in the future.

Thank you Kosh, I have now editted that for clarity too

Doubt we ever will though thats the problem isnt it!
but i have no doubt he would excel there

The thread is about who you would keep not who you would replace with, please stay on topic, replacement possibles are available in every other thread on the forum please re read them ... !!

This may seem harsh but I'd wait and see how he gets on for the rest of the season, he is seeming a bit injury prone at present and we can't really afford to be carrying wingers.

well if I couldn't replace them I'd keep them all.

without change the playing pool and thought process stagnates, players will always become available it is i guess all about finding the correct replacements which is a job Kath and co seemed to do well after King and co , however as i said this thread is about who would you keep not who would you replace them with ..

110% spot on answer, only doubt is Watts however as many have said would he want to come??

Good post east hull fc fan.

IMO if calderwood has gone injury prone we need two wingers, and move briscoe to the centres.

how is that the right answer when he talks about replacements?

Have you taken your medication?

Yes. Will he be able to? Doubt it unless ooc which i'm not sure about.
Is there any other young props about?

Would be tough on Calderwood if not offered a new contract but as we are so short on outside backs it is imperative we have players contracted with a reasonable level of health. If he can stay fit after this new setback i would keep him as I think we need specialists in the wing position. Yeaman for me would go, just don't see enough of a complete centre personally. Also with him playing the game so flat, the winger outside him is often wasted.

LMS, Watts and Wheeldon are ooc.

I don't know about any others.

your continued abuse and attempts to derail the thread are childish at best , act somewhat grown up like others who are trying to answer and discuss like adults, feel free to join in or visit the many other threads you can rub yourself against some one elses leg

I know LMS is mentioned a lot but again unless there is other things going on behind the scenes he always looked happy there, big fish small pond kinda stuff...
Dont know enough about Watts
Wheeldon apart from being younger is no better than what we already have, similar to higgins etc.. a few good young lads in the NL1 but are we in the market for projects again??...

Abuse? Where?

You keep contridicting yourself!

I have similar thoughts on Yeaman

We need something more substansial than a "project" IMO.

LMS - Think it's time for him to move on, things just aren't progressing in the big smoke.
Wheeldon - Was released once so wouldn't go back, also don't think he'd want to come TBH.
Watts - Would definitely make it known we was interested, just to let him know he has options before he commits to Rovers



Anyway, think the back line needs most attention this year TBH.

Cusack will retire.
Hall will leave I reckon.
One of Dowes or Radford might leave.
Tickle might leave but will hopefully stay.
Whiting will stay I reckon.

Priorities will be a prop to give us 5 again. Also a centre to replace Hall and provide competition for place with Yeaman and Whiting.

So for me possibly two coming in. LMS would be a very useful addition especialy with him being English and as for a centre I really don't know.

Turner? Horne is only 27/28 isnt he so has another 4 or 5 seasons left in him at 6. (not to mention Lyne as a future centre)
