As long as none of them are Ryan Bully Boy Bailey i don't care

no, just a head prop and a racist winger will do for Hull

If it's true then good luck to him, i still rate him though.

and give him his credit, he went to Australia knowing he would be shipped out to the Jets but would rather do that then sign for Cas!

and he didnt go over and just accept that he would be playing for the Jets he worked hard and got his chance to play in the NRL and played well.

if anything it's Leeds' loss and Hulls gain.

you sir are a moron

just because the fans think he'd only play for the jets, doesn't mean its the coach's view.

why would a coach, sign a player on a full time contract (and i'd bet a fairly good contract (in terms of not been able to get much more in england), or a least lots of good freebee's e.g. house to live in, no rent/bills etc) just to play in the second team. filter or one of his staff, have seen something in him and have taken the chance to get him over.

i can't see him going anywhere near hull

He gave an interview to the Beeb not so long ago to the effect that he was enjoying himself down under and certainly didn't seem to be in a hurry to rush back to Super League. Where did this rumour come from I wonder?

most likely the same place wire fans use.

That was something MHL decided to bring into the debate, I said he knew he would be playing for the jets and he said that himself no matter what content you want to put it in.

Yes , MHL did say it was the coaches view. All I am saying is quoting an interview with the player doesn't "bite" anyone "on the a55" really when they're two different points.

Though I think he went over-board calling you a moron. There's really no need to call my esteemed jousting partner such things.

Besides, you're not as clever as a moron.

The bite on the a55 was the "I dont expect to see him at Hull any time soon"

we'll see wont we!

i take it you spoke to tansey at the time, i take it you was there when conversations between tansey and the roosters coaching staff where they.

do you think (or in your case know) they we're alone the lines of

jordan why don't you come out to aus and play for our 2nd team, we'll give you a decent wage, pay for your flights, find you a house etc. you'll have a whale of a time, not like it'll matter either way, you won't be playing first team...

or

jordan, we think you're a good player, with the right skill set to become a great player over here. we'd like you to come over to aus and join our first team, with the view of you becoming part of our starting 13/17 every week...

again i'll point you to my comment about one thing said to the press, another thing actually happens.

what do you think would get tansey the most repect "i came over here thinking i wouldn't play, the comp is too good...." or "yeah i knew i'd be playing, look at me, i've all the skills. i played for the top club in england, why wouldn't i make it..."

so you really expect, a young lad now getting regular action in the NRL. getting good reviews (one of only a few coming out of rooster recent games with any credit) would move to an average team back in england?

where would you rather spend your youth, living in a warm country next to the beach, growing up with your sport being 'top dog' in that country or next to hull docks, in the rain, in the shadow of wendyball & kick n clap


oh and as for 'bite on the a55' threads, it only really works if said person claims to know facts/inside info or shows a clear lack of knowledge of a player/team/skill etc. however, my comments in this thread are none of the above, they are simply giving an opinion (and i'd like to think the opinion of most), that given the choice of living & work in aus over hull is a no brainer.

people have different ideas where they would want to spend there life, maybe he's home sick misses his parents/friends?

Tans has made a VERY big decision in the last couple of days.

Sydney or Miggy???????????

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......................
