Sylvain Houles said no new signings!!!

Toulouse need to make at least 5 quality signings , Shaul would be a good start for them .

Au revoir Shaul , 3 year deal I've heard .

From where?

Stick a fork in him....he's done

Quality?

Worst thing Hull could have done yesterday was play Shaul. Nobody will take him now going off that performance.

Hopefully terms have already been agreed with Toulouse...

I said at the time it was unlikely a deal would be done due to the issue in regards to relegation and it being a high possibility for Tolouse and as such contracts being terminated on the back of being relegated.

Hopefully, this clarity will help Jamie. He’s had a tough 18 months, a horrendous injury and limited game time.

Like most of the team on Saturday, Jamie didn’t have his best game, however some of the comments on here have been quite disrespectful considering the service Jamie has given to the club.

I think with a couple more games under his belt and with 13 players on the pitch, Jamie will be putting in the performances we know he is capable of.

From what position though, as he isn't a current SL full back for me given the skill set that is now needed

Who has been disrespectful, we are paying a big salary for a back up player who is either injured or out of form.

If we carry on keeping and playing players based on something they did for the club years ago, we will never compete.

Look at Saints, releasing Coote at the right time, they could have easily given him a new deal, buy saw him coming to the end of his career and moved him on.

We managed to get rid of a couple underperformed high paid players in the off season, we need to continue to do this rather than keep handing out contracts.

Exactly - the same people who moan about Salary Cap mismanagement, are the ones who say "I feel sorry for Shaul, he has served us well" - he has, I agree. But his form in the 2 years prior to his injury was poor, his skill set doesn't suit the 2022 full back in Super League, and he is probably on the best part of 100k a year. Him and Bowden going (to Cas??) would save us about 180k a year, and allow us to either get 1 quality acquisition, or 3 good players to pad out the squad in positions we need

Some other players need big season too to earn a new contract Houghton, Taylor, Reynolds and Ma'u.

Taylor still has another year I think.

The rest can go though they're 3 aging members of a squad that needs freshening up. Chuck in Shaul, JJ and Bowden. Hodgson should have more than enough cap space to get who he wants.

Wonder if offering Shaul and Bowden on loan to Toulouse would be an option? would depend on the vaccination status of both players also. It would help Toulouse get bodies in that they are very short of and moves out two players who BH does not see as players for Hull FC moving forward. Think its going to be difficult for Toulouse to sign any half decent players on deals due to the real threat of relegation but loans may well be a good solution for them.

Probably shouldn't be helping fellow relegation contenders

I think if we could loan out Shaul & Bowden it would help us more by freeing up space to hopefully bring in players that would improve us by giving better strength in depth. As being honest Shaul & Bowden are most likely to see the season sat in the stands while they still take a chunk of cap.

I assume you posted tongue in cheek Dave and it's the usual FC/KR banter because i am sure you will be aware Saints did their damnedest to keep Coote and made him an offer to stay as their coach stated when interviewed on sky but. HKR however bettered the offer.

As I understand it Saints only offered him a 1 year contract but Rovers offered him 2 years.

Toulouse have just signed Huddersfield’s Full Back Olly Ashall-Bott. So doubt Jamie will be going to France now.

Is this still on?

Only if he signs a relegation clause.
