Good luck to the lad. A decent player but rightly down the pecking order here. I hope it works for him at Hull.

do the Hull fans realise its the Jay Pitts that has played 10 games in the 3 years he's been with Leeds?

So far he's been an ok solid back up player and nothing else

I can't think of a single big hit or break he's made during his time with Leeds that stands out in my mind

He may turn out to be the next JP who knows but at the moment I'm not concerned by the club letting him go

Can't say I'm all that bother about him leaving. With the comment he's made



he clearly wasnt a team player then. Just means Singleton gets a step up the ladder. All the best to Jay but we'll move on

apparently not. they seem to think they have poached one of the best young forwards in the British game from under our noses, and he has gone because they are the biggest club in the game.

Agree that it's uncommon, but not unheard of. Your current front row talisman is a superb example of a late bloomer.

deluded then if thats the case.

Lots of things finished in Hull in the 70's. Time, for one.
People in Hull think Life on Mars was a Panorama special on the modern police force.

I think this may be compensation for the Briscoe troubles! I wish Jay all the best at Hull I thought he played great for Leeds .

Exception that proves the rule really.

JP is pretty famous for being a late bloomer, which shows how rare it is.

JP was also playing for England in the 2000 world cup at 22, Pitts, even at best is miles away from England contention.

I think he will probably go on to have a decent career, and good luck to the lad and Hull for going for a young british player, but i just dont think he will get close to international level.

The new Ewan Dowes.
Good luck to the lad, no great loss.
It would have been good to get a fee but as has been said maybe it's payoff for young Briscoe.

Agree it's rare, I was just pointing out that it can and does happen. From our point of view we'll be hoping this is one of those cases. In all honesty so long as he becomes a good club player is fine, not every player needs to be of international class to have a very good side, which we'll hopefully build to over the next few seasons.

If by any chane we end up with Kopzack (I read it on a website) I would think we got the best deal.

I expected Pitts to kick on when he left us for Rhino's but seen players come through after and establish themselves before him. He's had plenty of time but not good enough to be starting and only see him as fringe player. They were saying on cod ed radio tonight that with some a coaching team perhaps FC might make a better player of him. Don't get me wrong i am know fan of Rhino's but think they are streets ahead of FC when it comes to bringing youth through the ranks.

I reckon he'll develop into a decent player at hull.

Not really worked out for him here, just simply hasn't had the game time and he has he's been [iok.[/i

I don't see why hull fans are ''giving it big licks''. We've made the concious decision to let him transfer to you...with no fee!

It's not like we offered him the world, and he instead went to hull for peanuts because of what a brilliantly fantastic awesome club they are, a club set for world domination for the next 20 years



Seems like a satisfactory outcome for all parties involved.

That taste must be really really bitter.

How many did Garreth Carvell play?

3, but Carvell was 3 years younger.

How many Leeds fans thought this when you allowed us to take Carvell and Raynor???

I think there is more to this than meets the eye, either tied in with the Briscoe fiasco or moe likely you have your eye on someone and need to free a bit of space.

End of the day Hull need forward reinforcements and Jay fits the Bill. We will be more than likely losing 3 forwards at the end of the year and he will fit in nicely.

Sounds like everyone benefits here.
FWIW I don`t think he was given the chance at Leeds and could have developed into a decent player.
Maybe it was something to do with Leeds clearing some space for a new signing which will be good or maybe paving the way for Amor to come back.
The article seems odd. It says Leeds were wanting to open up talks with Pitts for his future but let Hull talk to him.
Why would we do that if we wanted him to stay?
Good luck to the lad but come on Jay you don`t need to lick over in Hull so soon after been shown the door.

Disappointing as he's showed real potential.

But then I don't see him in training every day.

To be fair, the way this club has been run over the last 9 years I'm not all that worried about him leaving.

I've been told what ellis is on at Hull and it's less than half of what sinfield gets in bonuses for kicking goals

You should try leaving your missus at home and you might find the smell mysteriously disappears

Sounds to me like a good deal all round. Pitts was down the pecking order at Leeds, and needs game time at 22. Hopefully he'll develop into a good player. This sort of signing by Hull also adds weight to the fact that young British players are starting to look more attractive than older Aussies.

Do you realise that you can't add up?

Last year alone he played 12 times.

Nobody on the Hull forum is claiming he is a world beater or a big loss to Leeds (like some are claiming on here), just a young SL player with some potential, surely it's better us signing him, then some 30 year old average NRL player?

Hopefully he will fulfill the potential that he showed when he first came through at Wakey.

His statement on the Hull site is a bit silly though, we still have a way to go to catch up with Leeds, hopefully we are moving in the right direction on and off the field.
