It could be but everyone is, understandably, in a pretty negative frame of mind atm thus it must be bad for FC.

True and were clutching at straws

I just started following his dad and he immediately followed me back knowing I’m an FC fan.

That is a good sign?

Nailed on starting spot and a 5 year contract

We need to get Stavely in the team, there's only one way we'll find out if he's good enough. He's been impressive at Newcastle by all accounts, plays good minutes and he's got some size, let's face it he can't do any worse than lane at the minute.

Is Staveley out of contract this year?

His Dad has just tweeted "Roll on May 1st" - wonder if he hasn't been offered a contract, or a shocking deal

If he plays on Friday then maybe a sweetener

Isnt he more of a loose forward? Crying out for a specialist one rather than square pegs in round holes. Would like to see us stop shifting players around so much Fash , Sao and Lovodua prime examples.

Ive yet to see anything on the field from tinkering Tony that indicates he knows what he is doing

On the newcastle team sheets and highlights he looks to be playing in the second row, on the hull website he's listed as a prop but then in the biography it says second row or loose forward, so christ knows

Litten and Gardiner will be playing I've heard, but not Staveley

So where would you advocate Lovodua plays? Too small for the pack, not good enough for halfback or hooker and too slow for wing or centre. Total waste of cap space.

We have history in releasing very good youngsters . We cant keep everybody but I'd be disappointed to see Staveley leave .
