It's the lack of a 2nd half back that held us back a bot in the final stages of the season, nothing to do with houghton. Had we not got to wembley we'd have been in the GF irrespective though

a bit disrespectful to wigan who beat you fair and square twice at the back end nobody told Radford to load up his salary cap with wingers and second rows , don't know who daryll clark upset either best hooker by a long chalk on what I saw

Not really, we were miles off our best after wembley and lost 2 close games against wigan despite that. had we been at our best we'd have won the lls, played saints and been in tonight's final IMO

Reckon if we hadn't been at Wembley last year we'd have won the treble this year. Makes as much sense as that rubbish you've just made up.

Maybe does in east hull

Craig Huby is free to leave the Giants according to a Huddersfield fan, posting on the Cas forum.

Worth putting in a bid, if true?

Crabtree is also on his way out as well

Hope not he's rubbish never takes line on just walks around to take kicks in play that's why they called him Jamie Coward he'd defends on the wing so he doesn't have to tackle surely we can find better than him

Makes the walker to hudds rumours seem more plausible then

If Huby and Crabtree are on their way out, it would make perfect sense

Just seen on nil transfer centre Scott prince to come out of retirement to in a English sl club. Then says he has agreed a 1yr deal to play for hull Kr in 2017 do they know something we don't..

Yeah, it's been doing the rounds.

I know it is slim pickings this late in the recruitment cycle, but even so.

I'm not necessarily advocating it, but Jarrod Sammut was relegated to the third tier with Workington. I know, hardly something to highlight on the CV. But he's 'only' 29, might be available, and hasn't been retired since the end of 2013. Fair enough, he's never been in the same class as Prince was in his prime, but Prince has been playing Masters touch rugby these last couple of years.

If Walker goes to the Giants I feel he will let the club down the club that stood by him when he was in serious bother with the police,short memories some players, surely he has some respect or is it just greed?

Latest rumour on the street is FC are paying Pritchard off or Lazy Boy as he is known and signing Kelly and Mantellato anyone else heard same?

He was not guilty or the charges were dismissed or whatever. We'd have (rightly) dropped him like the hottest of potatoes, if he'd been found guilty of wrongdoing, but innocent until proven otherwise, innit?

As for greed, if my company was struggling and another employer offered me a good opportunity, I'd look into it, and wouldn't feel greedy.

Is the club greedy for not honouring contracts of players it no longer wants or offering reduced terms to some players? You could say that they should have played better, but they could, legitimately IMO, argue that they were part of a squad that was too thin, which was beyond their control.

Mercenaries, vultures etc - it's just exploiting opportunities and looking after your self interest.

Only 2 of your full squad made more meters than Frank , not bad for a lazy boy

Fair comment

Do your meters include running on and off the field?

Best you could do ? Better than anyone of your forwards tbf

Not setting the bar massively high, tbh.

Pre-season, if I'd been told Hull would win the cup and finish third, I'd have assumed Pritchard must be about to have great season personally. Hull's success had a different flavour as it turned out, and Lee Radford, in particular taught British RL a lesson.

Fair post MR

Can't see any of this been true the last thing Hull need is a another quota or non fed winger and I can't see Radford putting up with Kelly's antics as for Walker I certainly wouldn't call him greedy he's given us good service people have short memories he carried us last season as our only prop at times

I think Hulls success masked the fact that Pritchard has been a bit of a disappointment by his own standards I think he's been played in the wrong way down the middle instead of out on the flanks but how many overseas players have kicked on in the second season to be become stars

Rick Stone stated in the press this week Huby is going nowhere and the club are waiting to see Crabtree's injury situation. Got a long standing elbow problem and several broken ribs at the moment so nothing decided there yet. But that could change in a flash I suspect?

The situation with Pritchard is nothing new, he's never been a player who looks for work, but running out wide can be unstoppable. I wonder how many shirts or bums on seats he sold last season just by been there ?
We know only to we'll that if a player isn't used to his strength's can look totally useless i. e. Kevin Larroyer. Running the channels a real player, working down the middle he becomes a passenger.
