You can't turn a top class half back into an average utility player. If Lee was destined to be a top player he would be one. It's the same as the old Craig Hall argument. He wasn't turned into a turnstile, he was one all along.

I think Lee's biggest problem was the size of his head,he beleived his own hype,wether or not that could have been nipped in the bud and managed better i don't know. But what i've seen of him in his early days he thought he was a Hollywood superstar,i also think there were issues with his ability to follow a game plan when he was younger,wether or not that was down to his over confidence i don't know.

I still think we only gave him a new deal at the time because of all the young girls buying shirts and having Mrs Lee emblazoned on the back!

Nail on head there, i know a girl (work with her) who used to date him and said their relationship was a threesome, her, him and his ego !!!

The ones highlighed don't come into the age range suggested when they were released or were not home grown.

He's going good, first team regular and plays anywhere in the pack really, be interesting to see if he plays more at prop now Tony Tonks has gone to Hudds. Think things are looking good at Fev in general with both on field and off field progression now.

Good stuff.



I guess though when all said and done, it seems that not one of our young players in the last 6/7 years we have regretted going.

Our biggest regret is keeping hold of players to long that clearly weren't going to make it because they were from Hull and inturn not promoting someone else.

Nev Morrison has signed for Sheffield after being release by us last season.

Former youth player Brett Turner has signed a 1 year,pay as you play deal for York.Quite a few ex hull players there now,including Thorman,Lee Williams,Kingy,Benson etc.
