Keeping Shaul and not letting him go to Wakefield because they messed us about a little is a stupid decision especially when you see what HKR did taking advantage by swapping an average player for Corey Hall who has everything to be a top S/L centre in the future years.
So now with Litten coming to the fore he will be paid for sitting in the stands most of the season

It was Applegarth who pulled the plug on Shaul

Dwyer to Saints? dont think so
You can see why Leeds let him go.
one season contract was the right move by the club for a change

I dont disagree but this was the rumour why he only signed with us for a year, that he had a deal in place with Saints for 2024

It was Applegarth who pulled the plug initially when he’d been appointed after Wakey had agreed to take Shaul after his loan spell. Then I believe they then came back in for Shaul but the club knocked them back for messing about with the initial agreement.
As Bonaire says that was a poor decision as means we now paying for a player thats unlikely to see any game time when we could have shifted him off the wage bill and cap.

Welcome back Jake, I'd be disappointed to lose all of those and would be good signings for Rovers.

Although surprised the three younger ones going there, have much more chance of playing first team than at Hull.

Think Wynne has played his last game for Hull too.

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Tue Apr 25, 2023 8:23 am  

Wynne gone to Bradford on loan. Wonder if TS wants rid, he seemed to get Connor straight out and he and Wynne are/were apparently good mates.

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Tue Apr 25, 2023 8:34 am  

Wynne going to Bradford on loan is an odd one for me.

Shows how far down the pecking order he must be under smith.

Fullback, 4th choice: Hoy, Litten, shaul Wynne

Wing, 5th choice Swift, Litten, McIntosh, Scott, wynne

Centre, 5th choice : Tui, Sutty, Scott, Griffin, Wynne


Whilst we fans all love wynne, he has pace and passion, maybe his time is done.

Covers multiple positions but isn’t likely to challenge in any, with promising youth coming through it might be cheaper/ smarter to let him go an invest the money/cap elsewhere.

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Tue Apr 25, 2023 8:41 am  

Balmforth would be a strange one to see him leave after all the positive reviews of him since he signed .

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Tue Apr 25, 2023 8:56 am  

Maybe it isn't Hull's choice, you can understand why both Balmforth and Staverley would be a little disappointed not to have made more appearances by now.

As mentioned above though, he pathway at Rovers looks pretty blocked, while he should be close to the 17 for Hull next year, with Houghton and Lovodua gone. Similar to Staverley
