Why not just keep it as it was then?. It must have mattered to someone for the change to be made.

It amazes me that people still bring up the Watts saga on a regular basis.

We'll soon be getting told that Watts and his dad were begging the club to keep him, and that he would play for free.


Think it’s a valid bone of contention. The coach got rid to satisfy his ego to the detriment of the team. Ask AP if he would do the same today.

So if players are not bothered about squad numbers then why give the six shirt to Connor when he could have had 14

There’s a world of difference between a player choosing a number outside the first 13 and having such a number and then having it taken away by the club and given to someone else.

As I say, I doubt very much the players are that bothered about squad numbers. Maybe Connor requested the six shirt and Kelly was happy to take number fourteen.

Kelly got number 14 but has started six games and not come off the bench yet. Satae is numer 10 but six out of his seven appearances this season have come as an interchange forward.

Why does everything have to be a conspicacy theory after a loss?

If we can afford to keep Kelly, and that's a big if, we should IMO. Fantastic player.

Kelly is definitely considering staying in the UK for another year before going home.

Back in Hull.

If he wants to stay we would be mad not to try and keep him, I'll be very disappointed if he moves to another club in the UK. Keep him, release Shaul and play Connor at FB.

If he goes go, I'd try and sign Gareth O'Brien and also keep an eye on what Warrington as they have Widopp, Austin, Inglis and Rachtford signed on for next year.

Our biggest issue (playing wise) is not having 3 pivots, all the top sides do, but we have a FB who cannot pass or make the right decision with the ball in hand, this doesn't seem to be getting any better either.

Given likely budget constraints it feels like releasing Jordan Abdull was a potential mistake. Connor at 6, Sneyd at 7 and Abdull at 13 could have worked and with him being talked about by Rovers fans in the same bracket as Widdop and Austin looking like a mistake in hindsight.
