I'll give it until the first friendly before the idiot brigade have got 5 or 6 lined up to be burnt at the stake.

So Hull hope!



Think the overseas issue is a sticking point at the minute, if he'd have got himself a british passport I think the deal would have been done by now.

Just watch Huddersfield will now play the kid in his position of hooker and no doubt he will come back to Belle Vue next season and kick our ar@e



The stick Lee got last season for playing out of position all bloody year was unreal I hope he does kick our backsides next season good luck to him hes better off away from us



now what bloody Obst tickets going in bin at this rate

I saw nothing last season from Tommy Lee to warrant such lamentation. Also, if it was a choice between Obst and Lee, it would be Obst all the way.

Not sure how Lee would have been better as hooker, I will cite two examples :



(1) His defence other than the odd "big hit" was suspect and that was playing wider out in the defensive line. Consequently, I would not have any confidence of him being able to make the required tackles down the middle of the park.



(2) His distribution in my opinion is too slow and his decision making is poor. I remember the Cas game at home, he jumped in at acting half and all he needed to do was pass it to Hickey and he would have scored, but didn't and we lost.



He certainly in my opinion isn't better than Andy Ellis who will be our main hooker and I think Wildie, Davey and Wood all offer more as second hooker than Lee, so no great loss for me.

Let him go



Let it go



Let's move on

I cite two more examples:

1) defending with space around you against faster players is not the same as defending a straight on runner with props either side of you. When he defended in the middle he was fine. Big hits especially.



2) Passing from the floor is different to running with the ball and picking a runner. If he was slow, his longer pass makes up for it. You don't catch and pass from hooker, you are firing from a standing start. It is very different....speaking from experience



and for a third, his try against Bradford at the end of season was a perfect hookers try, running on your own, and battling through heavy traffic to get the try.



I'm not saying he's God's gift, but he is better than you say imo. I'd have given him a chance, but if he doesn't fit for Agar (again) I'd rather he go. I bet Brown gets good results with him.

tommy lee did score twice to beat hull.

It wasn't players with movement and pace that were always the problem for Lee, for example it was him who wafted a loose arm at fatty widders for what proved to be the winning try against Cas at the back end of the season.



Re distribution - If he was a natural hooker as a number of people are suggesting, he would have had no problem getting that ball quickly out of acting half to the on running Hickey with the last play against Cas and we would have won the match.



A lot of people seem to have Lee down as a hooker, but wasn't he a scrum half when he was at Hull?



Either way it don't matter now as he has gone.

Indeed. We'll never know now anyway.

because he will be cover for those including brough and brown.



our cover this year wasnt good enough...inexperienced players such as wood..



how many more players are you going take from us



johnson, griffin, wood, raleigh, kirmond

Not that it really matters but he only scored once didn't he?
