I hope we make decision based on sound business principles.
Cost verses potential savings.
Possible sewing descent in the camp is never good

Flat Capper wrote:"Freshening the squad" is an interesting turn of phrase that could be interpreted many ways but I would like to think DP may also consider freshening his recruitment policy. The "taking a punt" on players approach has fallen short this season so it may now be time to go big or go home!
Spot on mate the lack of class in the team is alarming we don't make breaks the passing at times would be a embarrassment to a amateur team for next season just to hold station we need 3 or 4 class signings major surgery rarther than freshening in my view as you say go big or go home
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have

Eden needs to be added to the list of players who can go, absolute abomination of a player.

I don’t really get the criticism of Eden.
I wasn’t impressed when we signed him, but I think he’s done well during his time at the club. Whilst he’s not been playing in a team creating oodles of chances, I think his kick-returns and defensive play has actually been better this year than it was in 2017 or 2018.
Wingers will very rarely look good in teams who are struggling and they will always be exposed defensively as the last man.

Thought his catching was superb tonight.
Some of snyeds kick offs were going all over the place but Eden was there taking them all.
His runs out of defence, you just can’t knock tonight.
And a try in top of that.

My MOM by far.

We must be the slowest team in the league by a mile Hull had 5 players who could go length of pitch other then Eden we ant one who could go past halfway line without getting caught.

Agreed. My heart used to skip a beat whenever Eden was under a kick. Now I think he’s as likely to catch it as any other winger.
His kick returns are very good.
After the St Helen’s game he stopped passing the ball across our own try line. This seems to be creeping back into his game. Powell should just fine him for every pass he makes in his own half.

Can’t fault Eden tonight, some of those takes were outstanding.

We know what he gives us when Gale and Shenny are both playing and when we had the drugs cheat. He won’t repeat that in this team.

Gale is the key. Our left winger scored a bucket-load of tries when we didn’t have Shenton or Hardaker in 2015 and when we didn’t have Hardaker in 2016.

Eden was fine tonight, his handling was very good. Better than Minikin put it that way. Two of his mistakes lead to their tries. Clare may as well have had the night off he was that quiet.

He certainty isn't coming out of the traps quickly just yet that's for sure,but I can't see him not improving next year when hopefully we have some quality additions to our squad.

Need to be ruthless for me with none retention for me.
Out
Minikin
Clark
Should be joined by:
Rankin (ask for a bit of cash for Wardle instead or let Hudds have them both)
Aston (assume he's not in the plans)
Gill
Egodu
Maher
Clarkson
Claire (if we can offload him in contract)
Holmes (as above)
Ellis (as above)
Possibly Millington (Not sure he looks up to going again).

Free up some money for some quality to add to the Hepi and Olpherts signings. Should be enough for 3 genuine starting 17 improvements.

Yawn.
Think its time people got off Blair’s back - his family are on the other side of the world and he must be missing them we av bigger problems at halfback to be honest.

Didn't bother mentioning Milner.

No chance of anyone paying his inflated wages to take him off our hands.

People in army who never see there family for six months a time don't under perform doing there job that's a poor excuse but your opion is part off a good debate. And yes worse half backs in league at the minute agree with you

Flow Blair has been here a few weeks and already our fans are on his back much like they did with youngy- I just think it’s too soon for them to be having a go when he’s on his own in a strange country and think he will be more settled when his family get here - he must be wondering where classy cas went to.
