I'm guessing his talking about Burton.

Haha, I’m sorry. I have a horrendous habit of typing on my phone, posting and walking away…. Always in a rush.
I think he makes a good centre, but grabbing him as a half, I don’t think it is worth it.

Yep, sorry. My typing is a reflection of my life sometimes lol.

Hull FC in talks to sign Newcastle Knights pivot
The Black and Whites have a quota spot to play with and are in need of a new half-back
Hull daily mail talking up a Hoy signing.
makes sense that Hoy has been getting a run at 7 if we are trying to sell him as a potential halfback.

We aren't trying to sell him as anything, he's off contract

Yeah, wiping your hands of a young player when you are finished with him sends a great signal to the rest of the squad.
But back in the real world, players who have done their best for the club get a bit of help with moving on.

If Tex Hoy's best interests are dictating anything about how the team is run then we're in a bigger hole than ever before. Luckily in the "real world" that's not what's happening.
suggesting the club is playing him in the halves to look after his interests is rubbish.

Playing Tex at 7 in the last few games is so out of the blue it has to be for something like that.
I don't remember him ever playing 7 - 6 sometimes, but never 7.
But OK - Hull want to know if he can play half and us deciding to run him at half for the first time is just a crazy co-incidence.

Is Josh Schuster on the market to sign up, having a blinder for Samoa
maybe because cliffords a 5/8 he will be here next year and hoy wont. kind of makes sense having clifford play the position he will most likely be playing if milford moves on. like mentioned before why do we need to try and sell a player who is off contract

As much I rate Burton, we'd find a way to ruin the bloke within his first 4 games.

Milford is having a game... watch him sign with dolphins next week
You're probably right, but I'd sign him and Brayden Searle and reunite them in first grade

Whether there’s a 6 or 7 on a player’s back really doesn’t tell you anything about their playing role in the modern game though. He had a 7 on his back but he didn’t start playing like Adam Reynolds, he pretty much played the way he does at five-eighth.

Well I don't think he's capable of being an organising halfback, but nevertheless, the article from the local Hull newspaper talks about them needing a halfback and saying Hoy is the guy they are targeting, and suddenly Hoy is running out in the 7 jersey. Toohey also said on the weekend that Hull might take him now if we release him, but Hoy is still looking to see if he can find an NRL contract.

Not saying it will happen as i have no idea but a spine of 1 Ponga , 6 Millford , 7 Brooks , 9 Brailey is still a possibility and just my opinion but i think Johnsy would bring out the best in Brooks ..
At 1 time Brooks was said to be the next A Johns because of his skill set and the way he played and to be even mentioned in the same sentence as Andrew is a big wrap .

Could do a lot worse than pick up one or two of those Kumuls playing last night on at least development deals for next season, all blokes with immense raw talent and passion for the game who would run through brick walls if you told them to. Plenty of potential for more Justin Olams in that side once you get them in an NRL system and support their development (not that we have a great track record here).
