Hull FC are quietly assembling a nice little team over there.

They will have a very good back row won't they. It only makes the top 8 stronger.

Must have the same cap as Wire

Westerman, Bateman and? Tickle and Manu are both off.

Ellis.

I know it's been a difficult day for the Bulls players, but compare the way that Chev Walker and John Bateman have behaved on twitter. One comes across as a kid throwing the toys out of the pram, and the other comes over as a true pro. I'll leave you to decide which is which.

Have they announced anything on Jordan Turner yet, another rumoured to be escaping Pearsonville?

No official announcement as to where but Turner's going, of that there's absolutely no doubt.

Prett average player TBH.

Think we will lose about 12 players from the squad that started the season ( a few already gone), Manu and Moa are the losses I am bothered about and pretty happy with the players signed in Ellis, Arundel and Watts.

6 others signed but not announced yet according to Pearson.

Bateman would be a great signing but think he will go to Wire.

Lets be honest we haven't done anything in the last 5/6 years so the team needed a big shake up.

Bit harsh Bats. Bateman is an 18 year old. I think you can give him a bit of leeway today of all days.

whitehead also on fcs' radar

Have you signed Cooper Cronk yet?

Next week

Allegedly having the second thoughts now.

all a load of bol1oc&s

Where have you heard this?

That was revelead as a joke within hours. Nothing to do with Ellis, just some West Tigers fan arsing about.

Seriously? Brilliant signing if true.

Calm down. You sound like a Hull fan. They probably think they're getting Cameron Smith to their big city too.

More chance of them getting Lee Smith

So what's your problem? You're sounding very bitter towards Hull.

Nah, it was a joke by a Wests fan that caught on pretty quickly. Was soon announced by the original poster (on twitter) as a joke.





Bateman would be a good signing for Hull, especially if Tickle is wanting to move back to Lancashire as rumoured. However, judging by his fury on Twitter today he hasn't signed for anyone else. I think a lot of clubs will be in for him, though.


Pearson has already stated that Hull have already signed 6 players for next season that they are unable to announce at this point in time, and are now only looking for 1 more prop and 1 more halfback. This makes it seem unlikely that we have signed Bateman as it sounds (again, judging by his twitter) as though he hasn't signed for anyone yet.
Would welcome it if true, though.

Bet that's in the Parker's column in [iThe Sun[/i on Friday.

Very nice.

Sooner sign Cyril Smith. We're looking for a heavyweight prop.
