Signed an extension until 2020. www.hullfc.com/news/2016-11-28-c ... tends-deal

Also interesting quote from Radders:

“The players around him – Carlos Tuimavave, Jake Connor, Marc Sneyd and Danny Houghton are all at that the right age to build a strong spine to last for many years.”

Hopefully an extension for Sneyd not too far away.

Yep, would be the icing on the cake. Fab news about Shaul, let's not forget Radford championed him when he would have otherwise likely been released and here he is in the Dream Team and scoring the try to win the Challenge Cup at Wembley for the club he supported as a boy. As said in the squad thread, got a nucleus of players in mid 20s and proven at this level, could go on to emulate the continuity that served Leeds so well.

Great news and well deserved.

Yeah hopefully keep all together and build on last year to have a lasting period of success.

Looking forward to seeing how Shaul further develops. Who knows how big an impact Brett Hodgson had on him in the short space of time he was here. Would be good to get some one to one for him again.

Find it a bit strange he's highlighted Carlos, Connor and Sneyd when youu could argue that Kelly, Wray and Abdull could all be added to that too. I know competition is healthy, but that seems a bit extreme!

Good news for you, he was great last year.
You just need to hope an RU club don't want to take a gamble on him as his contract will be worthless.

think anthony minichiello would have had a positive effect in his even shorter time with the club as well. hope he gets over again for a bit next season too

im sure our owner will consider accepting a fee if offered!

besides, i dont think shaul has one bit of interest in playing union

Forgot about that to be honest. Would be great to invite him over for a week. Great player.

Good news. Hopefully sneyd and watts next

In what position?
Whilst Shaul is an excellent rugby league FB I don't beleive he would fit into RU as a FB as that sport is now he just doesn't have the skillset.
He stated catagorically he wouldn't want to play on the wing for the club in the past so i can't see any club wanting to come in for him tbh.
This is the sport he is best suited to and with some improvements in certain areas could be sniffing around the England set up, can't be any worse than what we've seen the last few years.

I'm just grateful he got through all that horrendous bullying, couldn't have been easy for him.
Good that we've tied him up although he’s still got plenty to learn.

Deliberate thread deraillment/trolling so I've reported it as such.

Hopefully the introduction of Connor will help Shaul to kick on with a bit of healthy competition. As others have stated on other threads, with the ball in hand he sometimes looks a bit lost, but I guess it depends what you want out of a fullback. His support play is exceptional.

You'll have to explain where I've gone off-topic?

It's bumpy's way of denying that he accused LR of bullying Shaul.

Mate stop reacting to people

Im a love to hate character on here but do i give a fook? Not in the slightest i do.

You are you and sometimes have very valid arguments but the crew know far too easily how to wind you up and to get a reaction. Ignore them and follow your own agenda as you see it just like i do.

The clubs in a good place atm and needed much critism in the past including your petition (which i signed) but lets all look forward and get behind the the club & team and have a great next season - Come On You Ullllaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jamie was bullied into signing his extension, poor kid.

I imagine a libellous accusation about Radford bullying the youngsters would be taken more seriously.



Regards to Shaul, terrific season and fully deserved an extension. I was glad to see in the interview that he knows he still has a couple of weaknesses to address, which if fixed should help propel him closer to the England FB position. We saw in the 4N just how valuable a ball handling FB is at that level with Boyd, and ultimately it was why Lomax was picked ahead of him.

It's also good to have someone of the quality of Connor pushing him for a place as well as having the ability to slot in as cover if needed.

As others have said, Sneyd & Watts next please.

Completely agree with Sneyd but why all the fascination with Watts he has two years to do yet!

Yes I know. I said next, not now Wilf haha.

I'd hope the club aren't thinking like that though and already have the wheels in motion to offer him a deal at some point next year to take him beyond 2018.

Sneyd OOC in 2018 too as the club have the option to extend according to Mrs Barista.

Just as well then that the signees of the petition and the doughnut of an author weren't given the time of day.
Premature chopping and changing would have probably had us in a worse state of limbo and still chasing our tails.
Just as well AP understood time had to be given and foundations built, and, hey presto, looks like he was right and Bumpy and the hang em high brigade got it badly, badly wrong.

Aye.
