Gil Dudson is also out of contract, we have to see if any of these players are offered contracts elsewhere but they would all be good for us. @ Gallanteer I'd get rid of Dixon if we re-sign Shaw.

Mitch Achurch wiki page shows Hull KR from 2017. Maybe a prank but with the Peacock connection....

Page was edited this evening by an anonymous user to show him playing for Hull FC in 2017. Further evidence of a prank? Who knows?

I would definitely want Dixon to stay. I honestly believe under a top coach he will turn out to be a better player than shaw..
I would expect him to run riot in that division which would certainly do his confidence a world of good.
Thats what he is, a confidence player, unfortunately he hasn't had a half decent coach under him since he arrived at the club to get anywhere near his true potential in my opinion.

I found this fairly insightful article featuring Mark Flanagan at Salford, giving his considered insight into various RL related matters. Relevant to us is what he says about the Tim Sheens impact at Salford. Very informative and worth a read. http://the18thman.com/2016/10/15/super- ... yers-view/

dixons speed and footwork is top draw I cannot believe that no coach has told him to tackle round the legs an shown him a trick or two on wing play. hope he stays and improves under sheens

Re: Players next year : Mon Oct 17, 2016 9:23 pm  

Dixon would be a better from watching a few videos and learn what he's supposed to do as a wing/full back/hooker. He suffers from brain farts and forgets everything any coach has told him.
He's got potential in bucket loads, he just needs to walk before trying to be a sprinter. I don'the think it's a top coach he needs, more a psychologist.

Whats the situation with James Greenwood some people linking him with Saints .

Find it hard to believe with Douglas, Amor, Walmsley, Walker all at the club. Plus Richards.

Is he any good ?

Re: Players next year : Mon Oct 17, 2016 9:56 pm  

I think relegation and a new coach will give Dixon the opportunity to wipe the slate clean and start all over again, assuming we re-sign him.

Learn to tackle, make the percentage plays when necessary and with his pace and footwork he could go brilliantly for us in the Championship at times. Aside from Wakefield away, he didn't make any real impact for us last year. He certainly needs an extended run in the 1st team to rediscover his mojo.
