Agreed, big earner. Who has allegedly missed more pre season sessions than anyone baring the ones with long term injuries. Just an absolute waste of money and quota spot. Whoever give him a four year deal when he was already picking injuries needs to take a look at themselves.

Taylors 5 year deal, Carlos' 4 year deal, Houghton activating his own extension, lanes 3 year deal, shauls 3 year deal...been some shockers in recent time. Nothing can ever beat the announcement of Agars contract extension with us on April fools day though

Lane is another one which has been a huge mistake, rewarding mediocrity, he showed promise at first but I wouldn’t ever say he was exceptional to warrant a 3 year deal.

Moving back on topic. Still think we can put a decent 17 out. I think it's gonna be closer than people think. Mind you bookers have Dobbins red hot fav. But then I do like going in as underdogs when even some of our own supporters have written us off

I wouldn’t class it as writing us off, I’d just class it as being realistic. Their squad is stronger than ours and last time out at home they beat us 40-0 at our place.

Can't just keep paying players off, we probably can't afford it and it sends out the wrong message, sign for Hull, don't perform, get a nice big pay off.

Only way to move Carlos on is if he himself decides his body has had enough....don't hold your breath

like i said to you several days ago we all hope and pray but there is a real mismatch on the wing in fact the whole of the backline.
Just cant see where our points will come from
Hoy is nowhere near good enough as a six so this is a weak area also.
Love to be wrong

We end up with one less player and the same money spent!
A no brainer now I think of it.
