Anyone else notice in Will Jacksons article today about the 5 players who need a big pre season, that he didn't mention either JJ or Bowden.

Does this mean they are already gone?

I'd have thought so

Not sure if it means they've gone or not more likely that they are just not in the clubs or coaches plans so makes no odds if they have a good pre season or not. Its a shame the JJ just didn't manage to step up and take the chance and unfortunately for Josh Bowden sadly injuries just got the better of him both physically and mentally as he seemed to be wary in contact.

Will Jackson has no inside scoop, you d fine out of the guys on here before he knew

Still keep seeing rumours Reynolds isn't coming back over.

Lachlan Lewis was offered to SL clubs (think Salford were chasing him before they got Croft).

See the HDM are running a story saying how he needs a big year next season https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... er-6111991 I’d be surprised to see him back to be honest, but if he does come back we need him to have a run of games. Not sure if that’s possible though.

Also just seen on the Bulls forum someone mentions that dual reg is back next year.

Could this be the key to us getting Scurr?

If he is back, then next year we should be replacing both our 6 and 7 as Reynolds and Sneyd out of contract

That’s what I thought, he’ll be playing catch up as soon as he gets back

Whilst I don’t disagree with you, is AP in a position to just pay off Reynolds, in what is probably a very considerable deal, with hindsight this hasn’t been the best bit of business we’ve completed, he will be 33 next year, played 14 games for us, and has now a very bad injury, which obviously isn’t possible to foresee.

In essence this has probably been a signing with Hodgson agreement, and whilst we needed strengthening in the halves, while not being a knee jerk reaction, it’s looking very disappointing now.

It makes me wonder, when we get in these negotiations for star quality players, we are not being guided correctly, injury does happen, as with say Bevan French, but the difference between the two players is poles apart, is French paid that much more than Reynolds, I don’t pretend to know.

14 games last season, not 8.
