Kerr reminds me of a young Phil Clarke and I see him as LF 3 or 4 years down the line.

Maybe we are clearing the way for Sutton to return?
"Could be a cap issue", we need to sort things out, w**ky Warrington don't seem to have issues with a salary cap, just keep signing players like Sneyd, who will be on big money 🤔
We are not even operating at the cap this season.

He's asking will he be gone before this season ends
Personally i dont see the point in keeping players that are leaving and have already signed for another team.To me this is keeping another player from progressing.Obviously this doesnt apply to world beaters for obvious reasons.Its a shame and i would rather keep him than Byrne( depending on the wire rumours)
Completely agree if a player is off let them go
And if we pick up injuries then what?, why let him go before we have a direct replacement for him, either bought in or from the academy etc., if he seems not interested when playing then bench him, but I wouldn't shoot ourselves in the foot for the sake of it.

I'd say we are fine for forwards perhaps a back , centre/ halfback maybe

Centre depends on Keirghan. If he goes back to the NRL then we need to get Toby King back. Both contracts ends this season

Hill is under contract for the rest of the year, what do you propose the club do?

Release him that’s how

Quite easy really if you think about it

Release him how? do you mean pay his full wage for the year and let him go to Hull now, tell me in what world does that make any sense?

Guess a centre would be the choice now and a goal kicking coach

Depends how desperate Hull are. If they are willing to take Hill on straightaway, maybe Sutton could do a job for this season and see how it goes.
