Off to huddersfield by some reports

I heard St Helens but next season! Huddersfield reported this morning to be looking to sign Jamie 'Marcel wave' Foster surely they wouldn't want both!

Who's Nogger?

Naughton

On loan apparently.. don't see how it benefits us ?

Hull FC back Curtis Naughton will join Huddersfield Giants on loan later today. Full story here.

Who's going to play fb then if shaul isn't going to travel to France? Be good for him to get some game time, just hope they put in a recall clause, just in case.

Odd decision. We wanted to sign Smith to add some competition to the outside backs failed to get him and send Naughton out on loan.

Did hear yesterday that reece dean could be in the squad for weekend. Wonder if as fullback cover?

Player outside of 17 gets chance to play at super league level with a top team. Callback option after a month.
Great for him. Even better for us. Win win win

Seems a strange one to me. Good for him to get game time at a good club, but I see him as an important part of the squad and expect him to be needed alot this year.

If Shaul doesn't travel then the most obvious option is to put Carlos at full back and shuffle the back line about, but if Fonua is out then it starts to look a little makeshift.

For me it would be Carlos, Lancaster, Talanoa, Logan, Michaels. However I can see Radford just bringing Yeaman in.

Surely puts the rumour to bed that Shaul, might not play this weekend.

Good move to get him some gametime, we can recall him after a move also.

... Shaul's partner is expecting this month. Maybe he said he'd play if no one else was available?

If Shaul is a doubt for the trip to France then letting Naughton go on loan now seems odd. Should Shaul not make it then I can see Radford putting Carlos to FB and bringing Yeaman in at Centre.

This.

Hopefully Fonuas injury from Friday won't be too bad. As another poster said, it does seem odd that we were getting Smith in to cover the backs, and now we could end up with two less than we'd hoped.

I'd be really disappointed if we move Carlos, looks a real threat there and something we have lacked for years.

The other option is Pryce to FB and play Abdul.

Whiting to FB?

Certainly wouldn't let us down

Radford made the same mistake last season shuffling 3 players around to bring Yeaman back into the side at centre.
A settled team is what is needed until loss of form or injury causes a replacement.
If Shaul is not available for Catalan then seems odd to let Naughton go out on loan this week rather than next.
Cant see Naughton in any case at the club next season, i think he seems to think he is better than he actually is.
Maybe this is payback from Radford for not coming off against HKR when told to when Michaels first came on to replace him.

Its all ifs and maybes. Nobody has said that Shaul will NOT be going to France, in which case Nogger is best served by getting some game time. He possibly won't be with us next season but I think its a bit harsh to suggest he thinks he's better than he is. He's a young man who's keen to play and who hasn't let us down when he has had the chance. Like you I don't want to see Yeamo anywhere near the team unless we have a mountain of injuries.

Spot on

He's not going so I'd forget about it......for now! But I can't see him here next year! www.newsnow.co.uk/A/815344911?-4338:2393:0
