Funny how Hadley, as a local lad hasn’t quite hit the heights for Hull? He was brilliant for us and you’d be hard pressed to find a Wakey fan anywhere who wouldn’t snap your hand off to sign him back! There’s been a long list of players down the years though who’ve played their best stuff for us yet failed to play as well elsewhere....really hope we sign him, would slot back in perfectly in our pack!
Deano has had a few injuries and illness setbacks since his return.
He looked a player for Wakey, and Chezzie had him playing a different style, acting half/hooker even organising, with that extra responsibility he flourished, probably playing his best ever footie.
But apart from team injuries, we need him to play a different role, a straight running tackling second row, he couldn’t displace Mini or Sika, and Ellis and even Jordan Lane have been favoured before him.
He seems a great guy and a local lad, plus a model professional, but obviously with probable recruitment, his contract seems to be the problem, perhaps because of his excellent spell with you on loan, and his England Knights inclusion, Dean probably feels he can get a better deal elsewhere.
I would say Wakey were in the driving seat for his services, but apparently there is other interest.
Good luck to him whichever route he chooses.
