Don't disagree Dave as you say a 3yr deal may just be too good to turn down though the subject of relegation I imagine will also have a bearing on that as they are currently favourites for the drop.
As a club we are effectively going to be carrying a player that still has a contract as there doesn't seem many opportunties at the club for him. So for a player at the other end of their career you'd think the chance to play regular in your favoured spot would be a serious consideration but the flip side is he has a young family which makes these decisions more complicated.
I like Shaul and thinks he's been a good player for us but time moves on and in a salary capped sport sentiment has no place thats the harsh reality. Which Hull FC have for far too long been guilty of being too sentimental.
Think the club would be keen to move him on and free some money but when i look at our injury prone half backs its inevitable we will have to move Connor into half back several times during the season as McNamara just doesnt have the experience or look a prospect in that position.
I know we have two young guys in the reserves but Shaul is still a very good full back and has what Connor doesnt and thats pace.
