Seymour is tee-total now.

according to the press, maybe, we shall see. What else is he going to do in Hessle on a Tuesday night, watch Corrie?

This is correct so provided we can agree terms with Moa he can stay and so can Obst.

The thing for me is if Horne gets injured then Nicklas should be the back up or Turner. If Seymour gets injured then Ellis should be the back up. Houghton and Heremaia is enough cover at hooker with Newton as an additional back up.

I just don't see the need for Obst, waste of money and he will want first team rugby at his age.

That is absolutely spot on IMO

If we lose Obst then we still have plenty of options for 6 & 7. We could do with another forward, Scruton perhaps.

Here's a question for you though... What happened to Lawrence Pearce?

depending on cap space then id be happy for obst to stay and give us some real depth and competition for places in the halves and hooker but we do need at leaste 1 forward most probable 2 so if we aint got the space then obst may have to go.

I think we need to see how it all pans out. It may be that players we expect to stay will move one but at this stage it looks like we'll have too much salary cap tied up in halfs and hookers and probably have too many players sat twiddling their thumbs in the stands each week. There'd be plenty of takers if we agreed to release obst but I don't think that's the plan

Well we need a forward or two so keeping Obst and offering Long a pay as you play deal seems like madness, we would have four SH's.

Unless Horne is not staying and Seymour is gonna play 6? I doubt that though.

As for fullback, Whiting can cover that position if Wade gets injured.

Pearce has been getting some good reviews in the U20's.

hands off signed a new 3yr deal at bradford a couple off months back.

6. Horne/Turner/Nicklas
7. Seymour/Ellis
9. Houghton/Heremaia/Newton

We don't need Long or Obst IMO. Nicklas has missed most of 2011 so next season it will like getting a new player - and the kid needs game time! Our backup players i.e. Ellis and Nicklas need more than 3 or 4 games a season to develop. Losing Obst and Long could make way for a decent forward

Obst is under contract, he isn't going to just walk away, and who is going to want him that will pay more than we do?

I'd rather not renew Horne's contract and keep Obst.
