He'll probably stay in the NRL but Marty Taupau has been released by Manly.

Did think about him as he’s always been one of my favourite props.

Surprised he’s not been snapped up yet but he doesn’t seem to have played much this year.

Perhaps it’s showing that he’s getting towards the end of his career?

Also Hookem played for Bradford at halfback yesterday, had a couple of good involvements according to the match report.

I'm guessing he has a new contract,seeing as he wasn't on the leaving players list.

Unless things change with your incoming coach JH will not be at Hull FC next season. He had verbal confrontation with BH and was shipped out to Bradford. The last i heard was that Castleford were interested in signing him, whether talks progressed i am unsure.

Weird that he wasn't on the outgoing list. Certainly didn't get enough chances at Hull, hope we don't regret it if he goes.

Sounds all sorts of messy if that was the case. Hodgson lost complete control by the sounds of it

BH would rather play anyone than Hookem and even signed Smith to prove the point. I'm not questioning his judgement, he spends more time watching the players, but I could understand why that would be frustrating for the kid.

The first Toulouse at home was the really frustrating one and the time I thought he was the right man. All halfbacks out at home to the bottom club, called him back from Whitehaven to only play Johnstone at 7 instead. Would have been the perfect game for him to start at 7.

Looks like Shaul is on his way out.

Wakefield Chairman tonight:

" Carter confirmed the club hope to conclude a permanent deal for Jamie Shaul from Hull FC, adding: "I'm really hopeful. Our relationship with Hull is brilliant, Jamie likes it at our place and we like him, so that's high up on the list of things we want to get done."

Best for both parties. Plus we get cap space
