He's been great for us, will miss him. But it's a chance for others to step up and make the grade. Thanks Dean Hadley for your part in a great season.

He has been tremendous this year and the benefit will have been mutual. Hull will get a better player back. A loan signing his effort and conduct have been first class - even his kid was running around in a Wakey shirt in Cats bar. I'm sure he'll get a decent reception when he returns with Hull.

As pointed out on this thread his will be big boots to fill. Over to Batch

Potentially Batchelor is better but it's potential for now. He has more to his game imho. However even if he gets that far I'd say he's a few years off producing it so Hadley is a big loss with Kirmond coming to the end of his career as well.

Agreed which is why I think we will need to sign a Back rower for next year because so far contracted for next year we have Kirmond, Ashurst, Batchelor and Crowther which for me is 1 good player light for a full season.

Hadley's been great for us and credit to the lad he's given his all. Next season we move on and so does Batch and Ashurst - but I think, as others have said, we need a bit more back up especially as Kirmo is coming to an end and if JC goes.

Good move that. Regular game time and hope to see him come on a lot next year.

Re: Dean Hadley : Wed Sep 06, 2017 7:15 pm  

I dunno, it cuts both ways, on one hand he's played a season with us due to Hulls cock-up, on the other there must have been other players that could have gone out on loan instead of him, yet he got the short straw.
I dunno how I'd feel about that if I was him, sure the club can witter on about the complications of the quota, injured positions and departures at the end of this season, but the bottom line is he was out of favour through no fault of his own, and never went back.
Tbh, I think Hull are taking the p155 a bit, they tie him up for 3 years and don't play him, bet he didn't expect that when he signed.

I will be honest and say I don't rate Hasson and personally wouldn't keep him but that is just my opinion and I am not the coach but the fact that he has not played in the last 3 or 4 games suggests our coaches feel the same.

Think that's a bit unfair. Regardless of his merits as a player you'd hardly expect him to be first choice in the play off series when the main squad is injury free. Who exactly would you play him for?

He did OK against Leeds, that's really about as much a I know about him so far.
