Radford was interviewed on RH yesterday and confirmed recruitment for next season has been completed. It's generally accepted on this forum that we are overloaded with forwards apart from hooker. Radford mentioned that Washbrook is very versatile so that means he will be interchange for Houghton. While I'm pleased with the signings the squad looks a bit unbalanced. Yeaman wants to play back row but I can't see him getting a look in. I think he will still play centre but not as first choice. The question is if we are going to offload forwards who do you think will go. Another question has Paleaasina signed a new contract?

Feka has been given a one year deal I heard. Then will retire to take up a backroom role.



Yeaman has nothing to offer at second row. He should have moved there 3 years ago. Release him.

yeaman can go, westerman ive heard for a long time is leaving, id have thought many of our young back rowers will be out on duel reg eg geen, Bowden, turgut etc feka not signed anything yet, not sure we will offer him a new deal.



don't think many will be leaving

Feka does a lot of good community work for the club so I imagine we'd want to retain him in some capacity even if it's not on the playing side.



There is surely some departures coming from the back row given how spoilt for choice we seem to be next year.

I think there will be a surprise departure.

My guess is Westerman whilst we can get a transfer fee.

To offer Yeaman an extension to play second row is a joke.I have said it several times before if it was not for the fact he is from Hull he would have been binned.

The definition of several is 'more than two, but not many'. I think you have exceeded several by a long way.

We have real quality and depth in the second row with Pritchard, Mini and Manu.



It would be a tragedy if Yeaman was to get a gig there at the expense of the likes of Hadley, Turgut, Downs or Fash.

Id be happy to lose Westerman at the end of the season. Hes showed glimpses of been a very good rugby league player and had his best year with us last year but has sank back to average with occasional glimpses again this year. Get a fee for him and give Abdul the 13 shirt

Its nothing to do with the fact he's from hull,its to do with fact he's good mates with radford.

Westy has a lot of potential but he can be very inconsistent for us. Was really impressed with him last year and he deserved the plaudits but I don't think he's matched last years performances this season. Did someone say on another thread that he only has a year left on his contract? If so, I would be tempted to let him go if a fee is involved and play Abdul as Seb suggests.



If he stays then hopefully the improvements we've made to our back row will allow us to get more consistency out of him.

Think Ellis and Pryce will retire due to injuries, also can't see us been under the cap other wise.

Plenty of rumours regarding Westerman and would not be surprised if he was sold.

Based on what?
