In July?

Funny how Hadley, as a local lad hasn’t quite hit the heights for Hull? He was brilliant for us and you’d be hard pressed to find a Wakey fan anywhere who wouldn’t snap your hand off to sign him back! There’s been a long list of players down the years though who’ve played their best stuff for us yet failed to play as well elsewhere....really hope we sign him, would slot back in perfectly in our pack!

I've never seen anything other than a steady player in Hadley, I'd keep him as a squad player, but if he can a better somewhere else good luck to him. I think if Lane can stay injury free, he will be a better player, if not already.

Hadley is underrated at Hull. A solid player with a cool head and great engine, can’t have a team full of world beaters. If he can go elsewhere and get better game time then I don’t blame him one bit, just hope it’s not Rovers.

Deano has had a few injuries and illness setbacks since his return.

He looked a player for Wakey, and Chezzie had him playing a different style, acting half/hooker even organising, with that extra responsibility he flourished, probably playing his best ever footie.

But apart from team injuries, we need him to play a different role, a straight running tackling second row, he couldn’t displace Mini or Sika, and Ellis and even Jordan Lane have been favoured before him.

He seems a great guy and a local lad, plus a model professional, but obviously with probable recruitment, his contract seems to be the problem, perhaps because of his excellent spell with you on loan, and his England Knights inclusion, Dean probably feels he can get a better deal elsewhere.

I would say Wakey were in the driving seat for his services, but apparently there is other interest.

Good luck to him whichever route he chooses.

I like Hadley and I’d keep him . Not sure what some people want at times . We can’t have a team full of internationals and no team does . Every team has steady no frills players who do the graft and basics right .

Don't think its a case of fans not wanting him far from it, I think it comes down to the fact its a salary capped sport and it needs utilising to the max. We need serious recruitment and the club have seemingly made an offer to Hadley that they think he is worth. Hadley and his agent as is their right may feel he can get better elsewhere, if thats the case then good luck to him and no one can or will blame him if he signs elswhere.

I think he's worth a deal but then again we can't keep everyone whether home grown or not, its not about his ability just similar to Green for me as in has the ability but just not on the field enough so the club may reflect that in any deal.

Exactly

I would be more concerned about losing Litten, he seems like a quality natural successor to Houghton.

Rovers in the market for a hooker.
They will make Litten a good offer .

Lunt and Lee both getting released would be happy if we got Litten

Apparently us, Wakefield & Cas are all looking at Jodie Broughton for next year. Wants to move back over here.

Rovers will look to the NRL for a 9

I think if you read back on here , quite a few want rid of him on ability only . And regards the salary cap , I reckon we’ll be getting rid of enough players , so will have plenty of spare cap without getting rid of Hadley too . I agree about not renewing the deals for the overseas players , but Hadley is the least of our worries . And the last thing we need is having 8,9, 10 new players next season .

Depends on what other clubs value him, Wakey and Rovers might value him higher and be willing to offer him 20k more, whilst we see him as a squad player. Probably have players like Lane on half his salary. Plus misses a few games with injuries, we need to start getting better value from our players.

Absolutely agree with the above. There is obviously some value in loyalty, good attitude and role-model and leadership qualities (and not just from the named 'leaders'), as well as doing the right thing, but we have to be careful we don't stray into sentiment.

Sentiment was when we extended the contracts of Washbrook,Minichello and possibly Sika Manu.
Dean Hadley is a very underrated player by some fans.
He is a naturally fit player with great defence and has suffered from his ability to be a utility player rather than given a run in his best position in the second row.
Dont get this injury prone comments.He is a forward who tackles hard and anyone in his position will get injured at some time.
Well worth extending his contract even if it means a pay rise

So is Josh Griffin.

Yes but everyone knows he’s a second row so no room for Hadley.

Hadley is bang average and one of the reasons we went from being a top side to an average one when he came back from Wakey

Let him go and see if Lane can progress or a younger player

Despite me not being a fan of Radford i actually think some quality recruitement is going on in the background and Hadley is not of that quality

If everyone knows he is a second row then why is he still playing at centre?
Griffin will never be a top centre in Super league

so its not just me then who doesnt rate Griffin

Need a replacement for Westerman too. Heading back home I hear for next year

Disappointed - all the talent but questionable application - will be his 6th club stint - Cas, Hull, Wire, Toronto, Hull, Cas (or Leeds).
