Time is certainly running out for Reynolds to get a contract extension (I don't see how the option could be in his favour). His stop-start Hull career has been something of a disappointment.

I hope he's back for the Huddersfield game and can put together a run of form. He seems popular and a positive influence in the squad and he always speaks highly of the club and the fans when he's on Aussie radio.

I think it would be fair to say there are a few players in that situation too of hardly stringing a run of games together over a fair amount of time.

Yes, I agree we have a few players who need to start delivering.

Several gave come off long term injuries. Now we are a few games into the season and as they get a few games under the belt, their confidence should return.

Coupled with some brighter weather, we should really be kicking on from the Wigan game. All players (except Taylor) should be back by then, so no excuses for not putting in a performance, especially those hoping for a contract extension.

As i said previously, he won't be here next season. New 6 from Cas coming in next season.

Don't think Trueman is the answer to our prayers. He's been pretty poor for the last 2 seasons.

Plus I'm not a fan of his COVID stance.

I hope it’s not Trueman as he’s been pretty poor and also misses a lot of games due to back issues.

If we are to be serious challengers then no offence to Trueman but we have to do better than him as halfback signing

I'd rather us not get into a bidding war with wire and Leeds over him either.

Over inflated salaries is what's got us in this mess.

Sounds like it isn’t. Bit of an odd one, either way, for a player who’ll be 34 early next season.

I thought maybe it’d be something triggered if he played enough games during in the first 2 years, which might be unlikely anyway.

I looked back at the article on the club's website about him signing and it says "an option of a third year" but doesn't actually explicitly say in the club's favour.

I believe Luke Gale's contract triggers a second year if he reaches a number of appearances (which obviously hasn't got off to the best of starts).

Re: Josh Reynolds : Wed Mar 09, 2022 5:27 am  

I'm torn on Trueman, 2 years ago, I would have loved him signing, but he seems to be out of form and a bit injury prone.

However you saw on Sunday what a good player he can be with a dominant pack and before his injuries he looked a very excited young player, who had a very good running and kicking game, he is a pretty strong defender too.

Personally I think it's worth the risk, would certainly be an improvement on Reynolds and potentially I long term half back for the club.

Will give us a quota place to play with too, although we might need a 7 if Gale doesn't sign again and Hookem isn't ready (Real shame he is injured, as I would have loved to see what he can do).

To add, I wouldn't be paying a fee for him though, not sure if he out of contract.
