Tbf, knowing how papers work, he might have been asked leading questions. Equally, he might be fed up and we might have been hedging our bets while, for example, Greenwood made up his mind.

After the some of naivety of recent times, the cost-benefit of being ruthless on this occasion is reassuring, for all that I feel for Monsieur Larroyer.

Any reputational damage will be offset if we start winning games again, and will not be among our more pressing concerns if we don't. The binning off of poor injured Shannon McDonnell doesn't keep Hull fans awake, as they snuggle up at night in their Jamie Shaul pyjamas, I'm sure. It's callous game - which is why I don't blame Adam Walker, based on what's in the public domain.

Has people have said and I have said he is crap and I bet he knows it he must have seen himself in the team videos and thought I can play better then that some French club will sign him good bye I don't think we will miss you

Outstanding. You are a shoe in for the "analogy of the month" award with the Shannon McDonnell - Jamie Shaul reference, Mild Rover.

It is good.

Has ex Super Kev not got an agent?

If he has I suggest he gets a different one.

Nobody negotiates any contract (especially not with Remington Mike) on a nod and a wink and comes out if it well.

Certainly not the tuck shop man.

Is Remington Mike Remington Steel's s#it older brother?

He's worse than that, he's like the rubbish younger foster kid brother when people used to take foster kids in purely for the money.

You mean people take foster kids on for something else other than the money

I've often wondered Squire.

I liked Larroyer but agree he was poor last year but many others who re signed are still here and had a bigger hand in our relegation .I suspect he could have been a stand out in this division.certainly more than Clarkson or Horne .still in things like this you have to trust our management. Sad that it's ended on a sour note for the player who seemed a good lad

The HDM reports today that Horne is not taking part in full training due to his ongoing back problems.
He will be reassessed in the new year. This is 1 month before the start of the season. so will not be match fit for some time.
Does this makes the Larroyer decision a little more strange?

When you look at the forwards now
Tilse
Lunt
Scruton
Clarke
Blair
Greenwood
Addy
Donaldson
Clarkson
Mulhearn
Milton
Lawler
Plus possibly some of the younger lads in the squad I think the club were justified in letting Larroyer go the way he was playing over the past couple is seasons.
I have stated I don't think the way he was being told to play helped him,but then that is only my opinion

Even without Horne, we could start with Blair-Addy-Greenwood, With Clarkson on the bench. For example.

If they were all injured we could put a prop at 13, with Donaldson and Lawler as our (admittedly undersized) second-row pairing. Cator or Milton on the bench. Probably still okay at this level if we're not too hard hit elsewhere.

Backrow is where we have most depth, IMO. Wing, fullback and prop would all be priorities ahead of another backrower.
