Well Paul the interesting bit for me as I said in the Diary was when Agar said in the programme that they were talking to players at home and abroad, which may mean that there is some credence in the Berro off Quota stuff, a good young Aussie half back as back up would be ideal!

your not wrong Paul, when all are fit there is a bag of cover already isnt there?

Think Berrigan had a wow of a game at centre last weekend and would like to see him have an extended run there for next season, i have to say since he came out of the other end of his personal issues he has been outstanding imo

Berrigan has been outstanding for a number of weeks now and I too would like to see him at centre, provided we have cover for Houghton, don't want to see him doing the full 80 every week.

But why a back up Wilf lets get somebody in who will be pushing for a starting spot from the off. Horney especially needs putting under pressure for his place IMO. If this club is serious about challenging for honours we need to add more than back up players to the current squad, the starting team needs improving.

I just wonder if we have the money for that? I think our big moves for half backs will be for 2011. I would have gone for Thackerey but what do I know.

Maybe we would if we didn't keep offering players who aren't good enough extended contracts!!

Berrigan moving to centre has been a real plus attacking wise for Hull and especially Tom Briscoe but the knock on effect is Danny Houghton seems to have lost that spark through playing too many minutes. I am hoping Washy was on the bench to spell him and the Radders sending off changed that because we need a fresher Houghton later in the big games.

Next offseason we will bring in a replacement for Long I would imagine, an overseas one.

You would think thats the case but this is Hull we are talking about, they would pull out of a deal cos the player was asking for too much, where as most fans would agree we need to spend over the odds on our next scrum half.

Reckon Leeds would lend us McShane again? Now him and Houghton sharing the role Cunningham/Roby style would be immense. True, I forgot about using Berro to cover the centre. I'd be a lot more happier with him in the set up, that'll obviously depend on having cover for Houghton.



Half back cover is vital for me also, Long still obviously has to be first choice when fit but we still need some good cover in there too.

If SL has an injury free decent season dont be surprised to see him get another year contract !!

he still has plenty to offer and in fairness has had a near full seaon to rest many smaller niggles and strains he had whilst repairing the bigger injuries, he will be on fire next season ...and with a point to prove
