Apologies if already posted (can't recall seeing it) but AP confirmed Steve Michaels is leaving at the end of the season on [url=https://youtu.be/uqFNLPdUhyw?t=36m55sRugby AM[/url

All the best to him. He is a great servant to the club, fantastic character and always gives his all. Wonder if he will head home or stick around SL?

Very committed player which made up for some lack of quality in certain areas. Wish him all the best!

Been a decent back up player for us but doesn't justify a quota spot sitting in the stands most weeks. Good luck to him

Excellent signing by the club, always gave his all, played wherever he was asked and and put in some crunching tackles. One in the first half of the '16 final certainly saved a try and his try against the Dobbins last year that saved our bacon and frankly turned our fortunes around from there on in. he certainly deserved his two winners medals for his efforts (& hopefully a GF winners too)
good luck Stevie, hope things work out for you wherever that is.

As well as Michaels leaving, FC confirmed that youngsters Adlard, Bower, Wray & Silk will also leave.

2018:
OUTS: Ellis, Fonua, Michaels, Adlard, Bower, Wray, Silk.
INS: Faraimo, Paea, Hadley, Abdull, Logan.

Thought that were big things meant for Silk so surprised at that

Adlard playing for hull rufc, was a try scorer at the weekend

And Wray, made a bit on a big thing of him signing from Leeds

We don't seem to be able to develop backs or halves

Funny how both Shaul and Hadley were away from the game aged 19

The galling thing is HKR seem to and most of the backs from the 19s and the ones on the fringes of first team football are all HKR.
It cant just be co incidence

Think the main ones are forwards even at Rovers, probably only Oakes (Who came from Wakey) and Harris.

Seems to be a problem across Hull, we have gone from having some of the best young halfbacks in the country to not having any young halfbacks at the club, it's a bit of a worry.

It would be nice to see what players the club has retained from the last year of the academy, unless it is only Sanderson and Litten?
