Simple for me get our kids on long term contracts (ie) like leeds have. and get rid of the waste such as walker,Sibbit,Joseph, Platt and Sykes and replace with better quality to give us that extra edge.

For me i would keep nas and let sammut go even though i like the guy and feel hes brought something new to the team. I think props are hard to come by in the super-league.

Crookes has signed for hull fc I'm afraid!

Stand off is key for me as well. If we can re-sign Ollie, Nas, Hargreaves, Burgess, Addy and Donno I'd be pleased. Sorry about Crookes if this is true.

Not the end of the world really is it?

Ainscough is a great asset, I don't think Crookes has been missed.

Are you guys judging this based on the Hull forums?
Because they aren't referring to our Crookes, they are on about a kid from their academy called CROOKS. Don't get confused.

I hope we keep Crookes as he's comfortably our quickest player and was just showing signs of coming good.

OOC:
Chev Walker - would let him go, injury prone and a lot of mistakes.
Ben Jeffries - If he doesnt up his game would let him go too.
Olivier Elima - sign him up because he has been a good addition to the pack
Bryn Hargreaves - has started to show what hes capable of so would keep him
Manase Manuokafoa - one of the best forwards we have signed, lets keep him.
Ian Sibbit - injury prone, has shown signs of good but is not consistent, so get rid
Shaun Ainscough - when given game time has done very well, good for future, would keep him.
James Donaldson - unlucky with injuries but will be great player, so keep.
Tom Burgess - have heard from a number of people now that he is deffo of to australia next year. A friend who he told at the start of this year accidentally let it slip out. would love to keep him though but handling needs to improve as well. also heard GEORGE BURGESS isnt settling in australia and could be looking to come back to the UK.
Jarrod Sammut - quality player and is valued asset to club lets keep.
Danny Addy - has played very well this year and will be great for future so lets keep.
Jason Crookes - has shown us all what he is capable of and will be great for future so lets keep.
Adam O'Brien - seems a good hooker when seen him play so would keep him as well.
Kyle Briggs - hopefully we can sign him on for long term he is a great player.
Karl Pryce- has been getting better, however for me he needs to stop being lazy on the wings and defend because most of the try are for him to be blamed. If he ran harder and improved his defence he could be a fantastic player.

please all put your views.

OK heres a chomp for you

Why would Wakefield buy Sykes off you?

tactically if hes on a wedge as reported from you I would leave him to take up your cap space the ball is in your court not ours.

Well then we'd loan him to you again so you pay a chunk of the wages then you take him on a permanent deal. Or we agree to let him go and he signs for you. Simples.

Sykes is gonna go, he wont play next year so he'll be looking for a club.

Can't keep both due to overseas quota.

So we either need to bypass the quota (and earning enmity of RFL & other chairmen) by going down the maltese passport route (part of EU) then following the EU rules regarding the free movement of people, goods , services etc

"Workers have the right to move to a different Member State, to look for work and be employed under the same conditions as nationals of that State" for example.

Or - we look at the discrepancies around the dispensations offered to Crusaders players. It seems we may have been discriminated against with the dispensation being announced after we had offered a 1 year contract. Had we known in time I would have thought a 2 yr deal would have been offered.

It seems unfair that some Crusaders players are still off-quota next year whilst Sammut goes back on quota through no fault of the club.

They've probably got other things to think about at the club though at the moment...

Lets hope we are around in SL first!!!

Yeah, I think we should go to court. It worked so well last time...

Like I said it was In My Opinion....and just because I'm not a "gold member" doesn't mean I can't have one!

I couldn't care less what anyone's post count is. You are entitled to an opinion, but I'd say you are pretty much in the minority and if Langley were to leave I reckon you'd see why he is so valuable to this side.

People were saying the same thing last year about Andy Lynch.....we dont seem to be missing him much this year do we?

Think we were doing until Nas was available.

We have been lucky (for a change) that Nas has turned out to be a good signing so far, and not another dud like Hall or Ah Van.

we would be significantly better with lynch in the team this year.

If you have Langley Walker and Sibbit on your get rid list why have you not got Scruton on too given the injuries he has had and pretty poor performances when he has played?

I didnt think we'd miss Lynch and we haven't in the slightest.

Bateman wont be at Bradford next year.

Forgive me, but after this on our where is Gareth Ellis going thread;
3rd March;

and then;
21st March
[url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/17457801Ellis to Hull[/url

Could you tell us how/why you're so sure you know where Bateman is going please? Geniune question.

Is his career is almost over I wonder? constantly injured and this is the 3rd season on the trot that he's barely played, can't see him ever getting in the team again. Sad really considering the huge wage he's on! Maybe bulls will cash in on his insurance policy and then tell him he's surplus requirements
