| If we are looking to keep Turner in the centres then I'd want to offload Yeaman when his contract is up, get a quality centre who can put his man away to either aid our new winger if Tom goes or indeed to make sure he (briscoe) gets a decent service.
Moa to stay O'Meley to go, think he's going to be an injury liability tbh and he would likely want a 2 year deal would he not?
Martin will be released I feel and Horne given a 1 year with more & more emphasis on Ellis taking the 6 spot.

Really?
You think they've all been told already then?

| Adam Pearsons reaction to my congratultions on the signing of Gareth Ellis was "You ain't seen nothing yet"
Got me a bit excited to say the least. Gotta trust that the dream team will release and recruit the right players for the team, even if they upset a few fans along the way.

| Quote voodooroo="voodooroo"you know something tells me that given the recent huge signings we have made that we may loose the likes of Moa and Ogre and maybe Manu to make a big lump of cap available but then all will be forgotten as we blast everyone away with another YOWGE signing like ellis yet again that leaves the rest of SL gasping ........
it feels all a little Sterling, kemble Ohara ish again in the way we are looking at guys who are buying into the vision we clearly now have at the KC
great innit'"
What huge signing s?

| I'm a bit surprised at how negatively the Arundel rumour is being received by some. From what I've seen he's shown potential in an at times struggling side IMO, is still only young, and I would have thought he'd be on a relatively low wage.

| Quote Rock God X="Rock God X"What an odd post. I don't think anyone is 'writing off' any of our 'loyal players', merely speculating as to who might leave and expressing a preference as to who they would retain. If we are to progress, we'll need to improve the squad for next season. We won't win the league with the squad we have currently, however 'loyal' the players are.'"
Whilst I see your point Rock God the point I was trying to make is the fact that this team this year have given their all, through all the injuries accrued they have come out fighting for each other and for our club. Don`t you think that the players read whats posted on these forums? Speculation as to who stays and goes brings discontent as the Agar years showed. Yes we need to strengthen but not to the detriment of moral. We need to source the better players but who at the seasons end is available and better than what we have. Pearson hasn't got a potful of money to spend on new players so its up to Gentle, Hay and Radford to bring out the best in what we have. 100% effort is all I ask of the players, they already possess the required skills has they have shown. The emerging talent are thriving on the chances given, the next batch are coming through fired up and ready. Give them time.

You hear a lot of stuff, apparently, jehull.
In 2010: "You heard it from me first. Leuluai to Hull next season. Watch this space."
"Ive heard that Paul Cooke is to be offered a pay as you play contract at FC."
"Has anybody heard a rumour that the guy who owns Hull city (Assem Allam) is also interested in putting a bid in for Hull FC"
"You know Rovers are going to win with the whole Mason saga. I believe that Mason will get his passport."
On Gareth Ellis: "More chance of us getting Agar back. No chance of us getting him."

Yes, they have. Though I wouldn't expect anything less from professional players. That doesn't alter the fact that some of them won't be good enough to take us further.
Quote The Judge="The Judge"Don`t you think that the players read whats posted on these forums? '"
I'd imagine some do and some don't.
Quote The Judge="The Judge"Speculation as to who stays and goes brings discontent as the Agar years showed. '"
Rubbish. Speculation as to who goes and who stays is part and parcel of what takes place on a fans' discussion board. Professional players won't give a shiny what the fans' speculation says - all that matters to them is what the club thinks.
Quote The Judge="The Judge"Yes we need to strengthen but not to the detriment of moral.'"
So if we replaced Tony Martin with Jamie Lyon (outlandish example), how do you think that would affect the team's morale?
Quote The Judge="The Judge" We need to source the better players but who at the seasons end is available and better than what we have. Pearson hasn't got a potful of money to spend on new players so its up to Gentle, Hay and Radford to bring out the best in what we have. '"
It is, but you can only get so much out of a player with coaching. Eventually, they will achieve their potential and some still won't be good enough for a tilt at the top spot.
Quote The Judge="The Judge"100% effort is all I ask of the players, they already possess the required skills has they have shown. The emerging talent are thriving on the chances given, the next batch are coming through fired up and ready. Give them time.'"
Our youngsters should of course be given time. But how much more time does, say, Mike Burnett need before it becomes blindingly obvious that he's not going to be a top end of SL forward? Should we also give Tony Martin more time? He's done well for us this season, but he's not going to suddenly get a lot better at 34 years of age.

With Pearson confirming that the last board did things on the cheap it makes sense, it's the easiest way to cut corners and possibly maximise the return on your money.

| if what i've heard is true interesting times ahead for FC, "Moa going home, Manu goin home, O' Meley leaving, Briscoe to the NRL, Martin to retire. Some big big signing to come to replace those leaving" as quoted word for word my info from a 1st team players mother but she wouldnt reveal which big players were coming in to replace those leaving.
