If London was sunny you wouldn't bother going to Sydney.

Ah well £30,000 should be well spent on a new player!

he's 22, if he's made a good impression over in Australia and plays well at Hull then he has the chance to go back to Australia later on in his carear!

Tansey has had decent reviews though!

aye, i'm sure poeple will look over the fact he managed 6 months of a 2 year deal before signing elsewhere.

Just goes to show what some players spout to keep the press happy.
Tansey saying how fantastic it is in Oz and how some of his ex team mates might try their hand over there.
In other words I am homesick and I hope some of my mates get here fast as nobody else bothers with me.


And Sean Long opting to join Hull even though he got a fantastic offer from Wigan.
In other words not nearly as much as Hull are going to give me whatever others might be led to believe.

I doubt that somewhat. Will be viewed as another Pom who couldn't handle the change. Won't be given another shot over there in my opinion.

The bookies would probably agree.

But what would have been the odds him going over there in the first place?!!

Richard Agar reckoned Sean Long would be relocating to Hull.

That must have been some offer they put to him.

Remember when Michael Smith left Castleford for St Helens but hardly played for them once he realised how far away from civilisation St Helens was.

True! Still to infer that he's better than McGuire is a bit silly.

I do feel a tad sorry for Thorman though. He was screwed around at Huddersfield, and with the Tansey and Long signings for Hull he's virtually being told theres not a place for him next season already.

I applaud the lad for going for it, but I do not applaud him for deciding on packing in after 6 months. He'll probably never get that chance again, even if he returned after 2 years then at least he would have given it a full crack.

He's been Sh**e, if I perfomed at work like he has on a rugby field I would have been sacked weeks ago.

He isnt good enough for SL anymore and it was a panic signing for Hull (as we didnt have a SH and there was no else available).

I think he is good enough for SL, if he gets some confidence and is given a prolonged spell at stand-off.
He's got a lot of stick for his defence against Leeds but he wasnt actually that bad when you look at it in depth. After 14 games at a club I'd be pretty p1ssed off at virtually being told to get lost by my coach.

How silly do you feel



Maybe you should wait for the truth befor you go shouting your mouth off

I knew yesterday morning while MHL was spouting his gob off, i didnt think it was getting announced so soon though

Tansey wasnt going anywhere near Hull yesterday, your opinion = Null!

not very, i asked a question of why would he come back. never said he wouldn't

amazingly barely no one replied at the time of the question.

no you didnt!

feel free to find where i said he wouldn't come back.

Thats a statement, not a question!

its actually an opinion. if you hadn't noticed it says "i can't see" not he won't be

Still wasnt a question.

I know why he's come back, want to humour us with your wisdom why you think he's come back?

never said that it was a question or that i'd only posted questions, i said the post that ben quoted was a question. HTH

i'm sure you do know, after all you were the first to break the story... and knew that syndey had only signed him to play for newtown (still waiting to hear your response on how the conversation between fittler and tansey went, and why syndey would spend so much money for purely a 2nd team member)

as a guess i would say money, followed by missing family/friends

oh
and just to make it clear to you, the above is an opinion not a statement again

It's a shame he didn't stay for the two years, as that may have tempted some other Brits to give it a go.

Lets be honest though, he's been getting 'OK' reviews in a dreadful Roosters team, and if everyone was fit wouldn't be in the 17 - just as at Leeds. He's actually played more already for the Roosters than I would have expected him to do over the whole 2 years, so he's done well.

If Hull have signed him as a starter in any position then they're taking a bit of a gamble IMO.

bit unfair on him, he played 50+ games, can't say all of them was on the back on injuries
